Alpine Computer Science Titles; December 2007
Welcome to the first post for the computer science collection development blog. Below are some potential selections for the library but we hope to solicit your input on these materials.
Gookin, Dan. Troubleshooting Your PC for Dummies
“…solutions are presented in plain English, step-by-step guides…” (PC Utilities, June 2005)
Containing great humor and experience(!), this book is written mainly for users of Windows XP/ME/and 98, although users of Windows 95/NT/and especially 2000 will find that most of this 1st edition still applies. 2nd edition= XP exclusively. Dan Gookin wrote the original Dos for Dummies book- all Dummies books started with him! Chapters 1-5 cover the basics, with 6-and-on being intense! This is the strength of the book: hands-on, down & dirty problem solving! (Customer Review)
Stanek, William R. Windows Vista: The Definitive Guide
Whether you're a beginner, power user, or seasoned professional, this complete guide has everything you need to customize the operating system, master your digital media, manage your data, and maintain your computer -- regardless of which Windows Vista edition you're using. Windows expert William Stanek doesn't just teach you the steps you need to follow, he also tells you how features work, why they work, and how you can adapt them to meet your needs.
