Computing Today

Computing Today was developed and written to stimulate student learning. Students will be actively engaged by its unique, visual orientation that includes numerous screen shots and steps on 'how to.' Additionally, various integrated exercises and activities allow for optimum reinforcement. The book includes a hands on case in chapters 12 to 15 called DVD-Direct that lets students see and apply concepts. Current topics and technology, such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), are skillfully woven throughout the book to catch students' interest and motivate them. Computing Today offers students and instructors a great introduction to the world of IT and how it can be of benefit. When using software application lab manuals to complement the text, students are given a complete representation of the fundamental issues surrounding the personal computing environment.
