Intended for introductory-level undergraduate courses in the business and technical disciplines that involve hardware or software development.
Using a step-by-step, hands-on approach, this foundational text familiarizes students with basic technical concepts common to all computers—helping them acquire the technical skills necessary to survive and prosper in our rapidly evolving “Information Age”, learn to adapt to new technology quickly, and look at problems in a flexible way. Stressing skill-building throughout, it focuses on three of the most important tasks: word processing, using spreadsheets, and using databases.
