I've just been realizing recently that I really don't have any useful skills to offer future employers. I've always enjoyed playing around with computers, but I really don't know how they operate.
View original postUpgrading computers is easy, since they're designed to be modular. Much harder than the physical act of upgrading a computer is choosing the correct component to buy.
View original postWhen you say you want to learn "how they work," do you mean you want to know how a computer's hardware works, or how a computer's software works, or how the software interfaces with the hardware? These are really different things. I built my own computer and am pretty proficient with software, but if you asked me how the computer actually runs I'd stare at you and say "electrons."
I guess I'd have to say that I'd like to learn about how the software works and how it interfaces with the hardware.

I think I'll check this one out. Thanks a lot.

If you want to get a job based on computer skills you will need to do more than read some books
