Excellant

You don't need to take a course. With this book start at the beginning and you will learn most of what you will ever need to know about Wind95.

Win 95 - Shelly/Cashman Series. Good, but some typos.

As a computer instructor, I have had many students work through this book and have noticed a few problems. Because the book is very hands-on, mistakes can be very confusing to students. In particular, Windows 95 does not always respond the way the book indicates it will, and I wonder if the book were written with a WIN95 beta in mind. Still, the problems are not major, and the book doesn't have nearly the typos of other ITP publications such as "The Illustrated Series." Overall, the book is an excellent introduction to WIN95 and maintains a good balance between factual information and lab exercises that students find interesting. Also, the full color screen shots add strong visual appeal.Instructors should keep in mind that some exercises toward the end of the book have the student change hardware and network settings that can really screw up the computer, especially if they make a mistake along the way. Beginning students should probably work only ! halfway through the book.
