I like the way the book is arranged by topics. When you are in the middle of a task and are unsure what to do next, open that chapter and follow the very clear instructions. Excellent for those of us who have just started with Windows 7 which is a far cry from XP. I recommend the book to anyone just starting out in W7.

Good book - but for new computer users only,

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7 (Paperback)
I got this book thinking it would have some decent Windows 7 information that was at least an intro to intermediate guide. However, I must say I was kind of surprised at how basic the book truly is. When I say basic, I mean it. It covers things like how to enter text in text boxes, mouse basics, etc. There is very little here that is really dedicated to Windows 7 specific features as most of the book is taken up with just basic computer learning skills for those that have never used a computer OS before or Windows. If you already know how to use Windows XP or Vista and have more knowledge than just beginner skills, you will find the book to be down right mind numbing because it covers nothing of significant use.The positives I will say about this book is it is one of, if not the best in terms of the color guides for showing information and getting its point across in an easy to understand fashion. This book truly is "visual" and has many photos and examples that are well done. If you are truly a newbie to computers or you are wanting to give this book to someone that is for learning basic computer skills, then this book would be just fine. It fits very well for those that have never used a computer OS before or even perhaps someone that is older and wanting to learn how to use a computer that is Windows 7 based. 32 of 32 people found the following review helpful

Great for beginners otherwise....,
By Paul Brooks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7 (Paperback)
Teach Yourself Visually Microsoft Windows 7 is an excellent book for the individual who requires a very basic, easy to understand introduction to using a computer with Windows 7 installed. The illustrations are clear, color-coded and the verbiage is kept to a minimum.The book makes no assumptions so the beginner computer used would find this book very useful. If you have knowledge of computers you should pass on this book. It is so basic you should avail yourself of other, more advanced guides to Windows 7. I would suggest Windows 7 for Dummies, for example. I teach senior citizens computer basics. Some of these individuals never used a computer in their life. I would recommend this book to them. 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful

Simple but Clear,

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7 (Paperback)
The book "Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7" by Paul McFedries Is very clear and easy to use and understand.However, when I purchased "Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7" I was in the process of trying to install Windows 7 on a new home built computer. As I was reading the book, I felt it was aimed too much at a beginner and was giving the information to me in a simplistic form, very clear but simple. It was very clear on the "How To" but lacking on the "Whys" and the "Choices" that can be made. |
