Dhawaan waxaan qoray dib u eegis ku saabsan koorsada internetka ee Windows 8 ee Dummies^{(Windows 8 for Dummies)} online, kaas oo aan aad u jeclaa. Taasi maahan koorsada Windows 8 kaliya ee laga heli karo shaqaalaha Dummies^{(For Dummies)} , taas oo war wanaagsan u ah dadka aan rabin inay wax ku bartaan fiidiyowyada khadka tooska ah oo keliya. Toddobaadkan waxaan eegay Windows 8 oo loogu talagalay Dummies eLearning Kit^{(Windows 8 for Dummies eLearning Kit)} , oo ka kooban buug, CD, iyo, gunno gaar ah, lix bilood oo bilaash ah gelitaanka Windows 8 ee Dummies^{(Windows 8 for Dummies)} ee koorsada e-Learning online (taas oo aan isku mid ahayn sidii tii aan dhawaan dib u eegay). Waxaan xiisaynayay inaan arko sida habka koorsadan uga duwan yahay koorsadii hore ee gabi ahaanba khadka tooska ah (marka laga reebo xaqiiqda ah in mid uu buug la yimaado midna uusan iman). Waa kan waxa aan helay

Buuga: In midabka nool

Waxa ugu horreeya ee aad ogaan doonto waa in kani yahay mid ka mid ah buugaagta cusub ee loogu talagalay Dummies^{(For Dummies)} , oo lagu daabacay warqad ka culus oo midab buuxa leh. Sida aan ku xusay dib u eegistii hore ee Buugaagta Dummies , oo leh interface-ka ^{(For Dummies)}Windows 8 , haysashada buug-midab buuxa leh waa dheeri dhab ah.

Koorasku waxa loogu talagalay dadka ku cusub Windows 8 , laakiin qoraagu waxa uu u malaynayaa in akhristuhu aanu joogin "waxa miiskaaga saaran waxa loo yaqaan mouse"^{("that thing on your desk is called a mouse")} heerka bilawga oo uu leeyahay aqoonta aasaasiga ah ee kombiyuutarka. Uma baahnid inaad haysato kombuyuutar ku shaqeeya Windows 8 si aad u isticmaasho buuga ama CD-ga, laakiin Windows 8 ayaa hortaada ku yaal si aad ugu tababarto, casharrada ayaa laga yaabaa inay macno badan sameeyaan. Cutub kastaa wuxuu ku bilaabmaa liis su'aalo xiiso leh si uu akhristaha u soo jiido, iyadoo leh bogga lambarrada laga heli karo jawaabaha. Qoraagu waxa uu su’aalahan wax ka waydiiyay; Kaliya maahan kuwa maamula warshadda "Sideen ku sameeyaa"^{("How do I")} weydiimaha.

Waxaa jira sanduuqyo lagu calaamadiyay Lingo oo ku kala firirsan boggaga sharaxaya Windows 8 ereyada laga yaabo inay noqdaan kuwo aan la aqoon, cutub kastaa wuxuu ku dhammaanayaa qayb la yiraahdo Ogow Tech Tech Talk^{(Know This Tech Talk)} taas oo u adeegta sida qaamuuska dhammaan ereyada laga helay cutubka. Waxaan u maleynayaa in qaamuuska uu si gaar ah faa'iido u leeyahay kuwa bilowga ah, maadaama wax walba lagu sharaxay luqadda si sahlan loo fahmi karo. Casharrada laftoodu si gaar ah uma dheera, mid walbana waxaa ku raran sawirro fikrad kasta oo cusub. Waxaan u maleynayaa in tani ay si gaar ah u soo jiidan doonto kuwa bilowga ah sidoo kale.

Casharrada waxaa loo habeeyey hab macquul ah oo macquul ah (sida qaab-dhismeedka buugaagta kale ee Windows 8 ee aan akhriyay waayadan) iyo horumarka laga bilaabo "bilaabida"^{("getting started")} iyada oo loo marayo fikradda codsiyada (oo ka duwan apps), ka dibna sida loo habeeyo interface-ka. oo maamul faylasha iyo faylalka. Tallaabooyinka xiga waa Internet Explorer 10 , isku xidhka, iyo maaraynta xisaabaadka iyo dejinta isticmaalayaasha. Waxaan ka hor marin lahaa cutubka isku xirka shabakada Internet Explorer , sababtoo ah haddii shabakadaada aysan si sax ah u shaqeynin, wax cadad ah oo gujinaya in yar oo buluug ah ayaa ku gaari doonta meel kasta.

Buuggu si macquul ah ayuu ku soo gabagabeynayaa sahaminta amniga iyo cilad-saarka, laakiin cutubka ugu dambeeya wuxuu ku saabsan yahay apps-ka, oo aan is lahaa waa inuu yimaado cutubka Internet Explorer ka dib sababtoo ah waxaan u maleynayaa in dukaanka Microsoft^{(Microsoft Store)} uu yeelan doono rafcaan badan dadkuna waxay rabaan inay sahamiyaan apps bilaash ah ugu yaraan. Waa maxay sababta aad uga tagayso bartilmaameedkan soo jiidashada leh ilaa dhamaadka? Tusmada buuggu waxa kale oo^{(Table of Contents)} uu u adeegaa sidii liiska casharrada CD-ga iyo khadka internetka.

CD-ga: Way hadlaan, waad daawanaysaa

Si aad u bilowdo koorsada CD-ga, kaliya ku dhex gal darawalkaaga indhaha oo dooro inaad ku shaqeyso shellexe.exe marka uu soo baxo daaqada Autoplay.

Waxaa lagu weydiin doonaa haddii aad rabto inaad gasho koorsada khadka tooska ah ama aad isticmaasho CD-ga.

Markaad doorato CD-ga, hordhacu wuu soo baxayaa. Haddii aad horay u soo martay duruustii qaarkood, waxaa lagu weydiin doonaa haddii aad rabto in aad ka sii gudubto halkii aad ka tagtay. Tani waa muuqaal aad waxtar u leh.

CD-gu waxa loo malaynayaa in uu ka kooban yahay casharro is-dhexgal ah, taas oo keentay in aan rumaysto in qayb kasta oo cashar kasta ka mid ah ay ahayd mid is-dhexgal ah, taas oo aan ahayn xaaladdu. Qaybaha casharrada qaarkood waa kuwo is dhexgal ah (waxaad isku dayi kartaa wax walba si aad u aragto sida ay u shaqeeyaan). Tani waxay si fiican u shaqeysay. Haddii aad rabto inaad aragto sida loo sameeyay, waxaad dooran kartaa inaad socodsiiso demo oo dhan adigoon taaban ama taaban wax naftaada ah. Waxaan ku dagdagayaa inaanan dhaleecaynayn koorsada sababtoo ah waxaan khalad u fahmay waxa ku jira. 🙂

Casharradu waa kuwo dhalaalaya, soo jiidasho leh, oo si fudud loo fahmi karo. Qayb kastaa si macquul ah ayey u gaaban tahay waxayna u socotaa isla markiiba. Waxaad ka dhex socotaa hal qayb oo gaaban una gudubta kan xiga adiga oo gujinaya fallaadhaha ku yaal xagga hoose ee bogga.

Sida aan soo sheegay, qaab-dhismeedka koorsada CD-gu waa isku mid sida buuggu ku qoran yahay oo wax walba tallaabo tallaabo kuugu qaadaya si la mid ah. Waxay u muuqataa in CD-ga uu ka sheekeeyay qoraaga. CD-gu waxa la sheegay in uu yahay tababar 4-saac ah, balse maan qiyaasin wakhtiga ay ku qaadatay in aan dhex maro. Waxaan u qaadan doonaa hadalkooda. 🙂

Dabcan, waxaad haysataa furaha gelitaanka ee la socda buugga, kaas oo ku siinaya koorsada khadka tooska ah ee 6 bilood ah oo bilaash ah oo ku siinaya URL- ka^(URL)si toos ah loogu tago, adigoo ka gudbaya shaashadda weyn. (U hubso inaadan lumin xaashida yar ee ka kooban koodka gaarka ah. Waxaan warqad ku gooyay daboolka buugga.)

Kit Review - Windows 8 for Dummies eLearning Kit, by Faithe Wempen

Recently I wrote a review of the Windows 8 for Dummies online course, which I liked a lot. That's not the only Windows 8 course available from the For Dummies crew, which is good news for people who don't want to learn through online videos alone. This week I took a look at Windows 8 for Dummies eLearning Kit, which contains a book, a CD, and, as a special bonus, six months free access to the Windows 8 for Dummies online e-learning course (which is not the same as the one I recently reviewed). I was interested to see how this course's approach differed from the previous wholly online course (besides the fact that one comes with a book and one doesn't). Here's what I found.

The book: In living color

The first thing you'll notice is that this is one of the new For Dummies books, printed on heavier paper and in full color. As I have noted in previous reviews of For Dummies books, with Windows 8's interface, having a full-color book is a real plus.

The course is designed for newcomers to Windows 8, but the author does assume that the reader isn't at the "that thing on your desk is called a mouse" beginner level and does have some basic computer knowledge. You do not have to have a computer running Windows 8 to use either the book or the CD, but with Windows 8 in front of you to practice with, the lessons may make more sense. Each chapter begins with a list of interesting questions to draw the reader in, with the page numbers where the answers can be found. The author put some thought into these questions; they're not just run of the mill "How do I" queries.

There are boxes labeled Lingo scattered through the pages that explain Windows 8 terms that may be unfamiliar, and each chapter ends with a section called Know This Tech Talk that serves as a glossary for all the terms found in the chapter. I think the glossary will be especially useful for beginners, since everything is explained in easy to understand language. The lessons themselves are not particularly long, and each is loaded with illustrations for every new concept. I think this would be especially appealing to beginners as well.

The lessons are arranged in a fairly logical order (much like the structure of other Windows 8 books I've read lately) and progress from "getting started" through the concept of applications (as distinct from apps), then how to customize the interface and manage files and folders. The next steps are Internet Explorer 10, networking, and managing user accounts and settings. I'd put the networking chapter ahead of the one on Internet Explorer, because if your network's not working properly, no amount of clicking on that little blue E is going to get you anywhere.

The book concludes logically with an exploration of security and troubleshooting, but the final chapter is about apps, which I thought should come after the Internet Explorer chapter because I think that the Microsoft Store will have a lot of appeal and people will want to explore the free apps at the very least. Why leave this tempting target to the very end? The Table of Contents in the book also serves as a listing of the lessons on the CD and online.

The CD: They talk, you watch

To start the course on CD, just slip it into your optical drive and choose to run shellexe.exe when the Autoplay window appears.

You'll be asked if you want to sign into the online course or use the CD.

When you choose the CD, the introduction appears. If you've already gone through some of the lessons, you'll be asked if you want to take up where you left off. This is a very useful feature.

The CD is supposed to contain a set of interactive lessons, which led me to believe that every segment of every lesson was interactive, which isn't quite the case. Some parts of the lessons are interactive (you can try things for yourself to see how they work). This worked very well. If you just want to see how it's done, you can choose to run the whole demo without clicking or tapping on anything yourself. I hasten to add that I am not criticizing the course because I misunderstood what was in it. 🙂

The lessons are bright, appealing, and easy to understand. Each segment is reasonably short and moves right along. You navigate from one short section to the next by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the page.

As I mentioned, the structure of the CD course is exactly the same as is found in the book and takes you through everything step by step in the same way. It appears that the CD is narrated by the author. The CD is said to be a 4-hour training course, but I didn't measure the time it took to go through it. I'll take their word for it. 🙂

Online: Same material

If you go to For Dummies eLearning Center you'll find a list of eLearning courses on the left side of your screen. Choose the Windows 8 course, and you'll see that they have a free trial version so you can check it out before you decide to sign up. While I think this is admirable, the fact that you have to provide personal information before you can take a look of it is definitely not. Of course, you do have the access code that comes with the book, which gives you the 6-month online course for free and gives you the URL to go directly to it, bypassing the main screen. (Be sure not to lose the small slip of paper that contains your special code. I paper clipped it to the book cover.) If you're not already registered with the site, you'll need to do that, which also requires personal information. In that context, it makes sense because you're signing up for the course. I do not think that a person checking out a free trial should have to provide any personal information to do so. One advantage to signing up for the online course is that you can then work on the lessons from anywhere, without having to carry the book or the CD around with you. You can't keep track of your progress in both areas at the same time, but this isn't really a shortcoming. The online course contains a bonus lesson on Windows Media Player that most people will find worth the time to go through.

Conclusions: Short and sweet

Windows 8 for Dummies eLearning Kit should satisfy just about everyone who's new to Windows 8 and wants to thoroughly understand the basics. All three approaches to the course are attractive and informative and it's clear the author and the For Dummies editorial staff have really worked to put everything together. The interactive practice is very useful and should explain how each concept works to just about anyone's satisfaction.

Verdict

The threefold approach to learning Windows 8 is excellent and should satisfy just about anyone's learning style. Whether you choose the well-written, brightly illustrated book, the CD, or the online course, you'll get a thorough education in the basics of Windows 8 and should be able to approach your own Windows 8 computer with confidence in a very short time.
