New Perspectives on Computer Concepts, 10th Edition, Comprehensive (New Perspectives Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The authors do an excellent job of laying out basic computer concepts in easy format. Would recommend it. The other books on special software was not explaining the basics to me. I guess I expected too much.CatfishClick Here to see more reviews about: New Perspectives on Computer Concepts, 10th Edition,...

Mike Meyers' CompTIA A+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs, Third Edition (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) (Mike Meyers' Computer Skills) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am an MCSE NT4 that has had a 4 1/2 year hiatus from IT work. My first read through an A+ book was in 1998 which was comparatively a bland textbook read. Myers has done a nice job with this book, even entertaining on occasion. I am quickly getting caught up on areas I missed. It is very unfortunate...

LTE for UMTS - OFDMA and SC-FDMA Based Radio Access Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)LTE is the next evolution of wireless communications. I have to state at the outset that as a former COO of NYNEX Mobile and one of the proponents of CDMA in the 1980s, I find that LTE is merely a natural progression of what was started almost a quarter century ago. LTE does not deliver any major technical...

Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At the very end of the book, the author quotes James Madison as carved into the marble of the Library of Congress: "...a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." And there it is--Howard Rheingold has documented the next level of the Internet,...

MCTS Windows 7 Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-680 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Having read the other reviews I was quite surprised to find that that this book does not delve deeply enough into the details, especially in the non-GUI commands, to be adequate preparation for the current exam. It mentions some key concepts only briefly while leaving others out entirely, it tends to...

CompTIA A+ Certification Study Guide, Seventh Edition (Exam 220-701 & 220-702) (Certification Press) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I literally keep this on my desk at all times.

I can see this being a great book to help people new into the IT world and computing. The...

Principles of Information Systems Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One of the book's biggest problems is that it rambles. The book has 14 multi-topic-chapters. This could be solved with going to 20 or 24 focused chapters. Part of the problem is the book's target audience - accounting, business or management majors that should know what IT can do for them. I have over...

Succeeding with Technology (Sam 2010 Compatible Products) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My roommate used this book in her class and asked if I wanted it when I take the class. I looked it over and I am sure it's fine for some, but if you managed to turn your computer on, find the Internet, find amazon, and search for these reviews, then you no longer need this book. I wasn't impressed that...

The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle (First Generation) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Informative and expanding, much information that an avid reader-turned-Kindle-reader might otherwise miss. Available elsewhere? Definitely, and those with an urge to tinker will find it. But if your focus is on the books and you are the sort who looks for answers in the user manual, then articles such...

Windows 7 For Seniors For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am 69. I am a dummie.This is my first computer. This book led me through step by step that I could understend.What I like most about it is that I can connect to Mr Mark Justice Hinton directly without going on a wild goose chase on the internet like the bad time I had and have with KODAK, STAPLES,...

CompTIA A+ Certification All-In-One For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Waste of money, waste of time. I'm sorry to say it because I normally love (and trust) the "Dummies" series of books. But I'm a pretty computer proficient person already, and I knew a TON of the material was just useless and obsolete. To confirm my suspicions, I downloaded the official A+ 2009 exam objectives,...

MCTS 70-680 Cert Guide: Microsoft Windows 7, Configuring Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I recently took and passed the 70-680 this morning by using this book. I feel it is only fair to say that it was not my only source but one of my main sources of study.I personally thought the exam in the book was harder than the actual test. Not the chapter exams, the exam on the CD. With that being...
