Information Technology Essentials Volume 1: Introduction to Information Systems

As an intro to IT and its' buzz words, this is a quick and easy read with all the basics needed to interpret geek-speak 😉

Really well-written and accessible but not lacking in important details.

I think this book is an excellent introduction to computing for any novice. If you have not been into computers for a while it is a good refresher. The book is written on a very conversational style and is easy to read. I liked the quizzes throughout the book to check my comprehension. Each of the topics that the author touches on are whole areas of study and expertise within themselves. Solid, simple overviews are given which will give the reader a basic understanding of the topics. Even though I have been "in the business" for a while I still picked up a few things.

A good gift for a high school kid learning technology.

Un libro introductorio y muy esencial en temas generales sobre las tecnologías de la información, muy recomendable para su lectura para personas que estén iniciando con temas de ciencias computacionales e informática, lecturas breves pero concisas donde obtendrá información más actualizada (hasta el 2021) de temas computacionales/informáticos. Un libro con un lectura agradable y no complicada en términos, para las personas que hayan cursado algunas niveles básicos de inglés lo encontrarán muy claro en su traducción al castellano.

I read it once. I must learn this book. The staggering gap in my knowledge; about all things to do with computing, looks traversable with this book. I am relieved that I bought it.

Covered a wide variety of basic IT areas for beginners. Great as a refresher, or for someone looking to begin this career path.
