March 26, 2008 - Kevin Whitham, a Senior Computer Specialist at the University of Washington, has written a new book for computer users called, "The Elements of Computing, A Common Sense Guide to Computer Tech Support".
This book does for computer users what "The Elements of Style" has done for writers for decades. It takes all of the essential knowledge needed to work with computers and puts it into one concise handbook that is easy to understand.
Instead of the usual 300+ page computer manual that explains every step-by-step procedure, Mr. Whitham’s book gives the end user an overall approach for installing applications, networking, security, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Users gain confidence to explore and learn new skills.
Whitham has helped troubleshoot computers with students, international scientists, and professors for over a decade. “We can assume that most users know how to switch on their computer and which connector plugs in to which color-coded cable.”
A must-have guide for anyone who is new to computers, a student, a technical staff member, or a computing instructor. A good companion book to "The Elements of Style", because if you are writing anything, you are probably doing it on a computer.
The book is available through www.amazon.com.
