A COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE TOOL FOR TODAY'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STUDEN
Today's studens want a practical "what it is" and "how it works" approach to computers and computing, with less explanation of "when and why." The 2006 edition of Computers Are Your Future was revised to match what studens already know with what they need to know to be successful in the exciting and challenging world of information technology [IT]. This new edition will serve as a valuable reference tool without being overwhelming or intimidating.
