Hi,
Thanks you for the links and I agree, I prefer the inbrowser editor/lesson styled contents as well.I get immediate feedback and I enjoy adding points and see my accomplishments grow.
You’ve been guessing in the right direction, I managed to install ubuntu on a laptop and I enjoy this OS more and more. I will definitely check out the link about that.
The thing is, in a shop, you’re forced to buy windows and there’s a lot of technical info that doesn’t make sense or the info is not there. So even a little knowledge about processors is interesting and there is probably a lot more one should be looking out for when one buys a new computer. I don’t know enough about it to know what I should be asking and I always feel like a fool.
By the way, this is not about hardware, but since you’ve added this link about the internet, I’ve gone through part of the python curriculum and I found a link to a book on the internet written by Charles Severance. It’s excellent, filled in a lot gaps for me. There’s a corresponding free course on Coursera which adds a lot of interesting historical info, the book is more technical and I enjoyed that a lot. It’s freely downloadable, I had been looking for this kind of info for years, and there it was, just for the taking. (GitHub - csev/net-intro: Introduction to Network Technology)
Thanks again for the links and the interest you’ve taken,
Greets,
Karin
