The three books are as follows:
Book 1. Computer Resource Guide
Book 2. Freeware-Software-Coding-Programming Guide, includes Jobs
Book 3. Computer Games Guide
Book 1 is a basic, all-around computer education-resource guide. I tell you where to go to learn more. It's not heavy on tedious, specific technical details. If you want that, just go to your local library, online or to online computer bookstores.
The four volumes are as follows:
Volume 1. Computer Basics 1
Volume 2. Computer Basics 2
Volume 3. Computer Products For Sale
Volume 4. Computer & Internet Security
Computer instruction books are at #002-006 at the library, internet website books at #025.04 or HQ755, QA76.5 and TK5105. You could go to your local library, both the stacks and the reference section and see some of the neat computer books they have there. You can also look at computer magazines.
Try 004.00-.70, #303.483 or HM221, QA76.76 or TK5105-TK7887 at the library for books about learning to use a computer and the internet.
Book 2 contains the following information:
a big list of software for sale
a big list of free software or freeware including most administrative/ managerial software like openoffice, gimp, mind-mapping software, etc.
information to learn how to code and program which is the basis of all software. There are two types of software:
software to run a computer, systems software
software to do a function like simulate an airplane’s controls or to create word files as with MS-Word, applications software
Since software will be used in every technical gadget or machine, they should teach it in school
jobs and jobs with freeware and software companies.
There are many people creating freeware for everything including word-processing, photoshop, free youtube to mp3 conversion, etc.
I found a book about free software at #005.3 or QA76 at the library.
If you see a commercial software you want, do a search on a search engine for the type of software it is (what it does) preceded by the word free like:
free dvd recording software
free photo editing software
Technically shareware means you try it out for free before you pay for it. They call it trial use or unlicensed use. Most of it is restricted to try to entice you to buy the full program.
From my own experience, I wasted a lot of time downloading something described or advertised as free but then when you get on it or use it, you can't finish the job without buying it.
This can happen with a website design software. You get it free, design your website but can't publish it to the web until you pay them the $20 or so.
Find something completely free. I always read the description carefully then mess around before I invest in learning how to use a particular software program. I've seen some sell for $300. Don't let them hook you in then ask for $40 or $50 before you can move onto the next step.
There are least ten types of virtually every software all developed independently. The price could go from free to a hundred bucks. You have to look around unless you got enough money so that you don't mind paying for software.
Free software means it's totally free, no shareware where they want money later. It's totally free.
Open Source software is totally free to use. It comes with the source code so you can modify it if you want. Go to gnu.org for more info.
Freeware means it's totally free but no source code comes with it.
Linux is a free operating system but you have to take the time to learn to use it.
Book 3 is a book of hundreds of websites covering computer games and video games.
It includes a chapter on the computer games industry including jobs as a computer games developer.
