Computers Are Your Future, Complete (10th Edition)
Prentice Hall
For introductory courses in computer concepts or computer literacy often including instruction in Microsoft Office, Computers Are Your Future engages students with a refreshing and easy to learn from style, while maintaining an encyclopedic approach and popular magazine format. Today’s students want a practical “what it is” and “how it works” approach to computers and computing, with less explanation of “when and why.”
