I've 3 books and I'd like to know how and why they'd benefit me(lots of images)

(cont.)

All of these books look insightful. Read them all.

The least important one in my opinion is Introduction to Personal Computers. It looks like it's Windows specific information only. And most of that stuff is commonplace knowledge.

Thank you, frogman.

I'd have to agree with The Unintelligible, the Intro to PCs would only be beneficial if you're new to computers.

Intro to PCs, and then if you're looking into programming, you could get a basic book on C. After you learn the basics, you would be able to use that "Problem solving in C" book.

Question: How much would you want for the microprocessors book? That subject has interested me, but I haven't been able to find any good books on it.

Give me an average buy price on the book, I know it's expensive, they're from my friend who is ICT certified, all of that jazz. College books, but also I'm going to want to read the book first, haha.

Well normally they're like $60 new, and sell for like $30 on Amazon and stuff. I'm like out of money right now though, would you ever take $10? D:

My school is kind of like that. In our Comp Sci class, instead of the school actually using money to buy textbooks (heaven forbid!) the Comp Sci teacher found this random free online textbook that's from the 90's (You can check it out here, it's the Java 5.0 section: programmedlessons.com) and apparently he got a raise because the school didn't have to shell out money for books lol. The online resource is nice, but also annoying because it would be easier to learn out of a normal textbook in my opinion.

I need to get me on of these.
