I’m confused about my work path. I don’t know where to go. I want to learn computers and I’m looking for experts.

Hello!

The first thing to do is to get started with computers. The key to getting started with computers is to practice more.

What I want to say is to learn computers. If you only use computers for entertainment and leisure, it will deviate from my original intention. Since you want to learn CAD, it must be related to graphics, so for beginners, the best thing to learn is text typesetting. Not only must you be able to type, but you must also be able to type. Then you can do some text publishing work, such as making magazines. . As for the software to learn, there are Microsoft Word 2000, XP, and Kingsoft's wps

office, but the former is used more.

If you think the above work is too easy, graphic editing is just for you. This job is easy to get started with, but can be done in depth and professionally. Many graphic design companies and advertising companies rely on this to make a living. There are many softwares that you can learn. The old ones include Adobe’s photoshop

6.0, illustrator

9.0, and coral’s coraldraw

10. There are also macromedia's Fireworks

4, Freehand

10 and the more popular Flash

5. The latter three software are all new software, they are well integrated with web page production, they are relatively "dumb", but their functions are not weak, and they are more suitable for beginners. Particularly worth mentioning is flash. Flash is now in full swing on the Internet. You can use it to create animated short films, websites and even games. But it can’t be done without spending a lot of effort.

Are you interested in the online world? You can also teach yourself how to make web pages! However, this requires the foundation of the above points, that is, text typesetting and art editing, and then learning some network knowledge, you can weave your "dream web page". The first available software is Macromedia's Dreamweaver

4. If you are used to word, you can use frontpage, but it is much inferior to the former. If you are used to photoshop, you can choose go

live.

If you think the above is a piece of cake, then what you need to learn is advanced computer applications, such as programming, making dynamic web pages, 3ds

max, autocad and other advanced applications Apply or learn network management. Of course, your energy is limited, and it would be nice to be proficient in one of the above advanced applications.

Finally, let’s talk about some conditions needed to learn computers. Of course it is best to have a computer of your own. If not, you can also go to the computer room to access the Internet. There are four computer rooms in the laboratory building of our school. Among them, the computers on Net 1, Net 2, and Net 5 are better. They also have many necessary software, which are more suitable for learning computers. Of course, if you have a China Unicom or Telecom account, you can pass After setting up a proxy server to access the Internet, the charging standard there is one yuan per class hour, and the Internet traffic fee is additional. The library also has a computer room. There is no software on the computer. It is dedicated to accessing the Internet. The fee for accessing the computer is one yuan per hour, and the traffic fee is additional. There is a convenient Internet access point and an Internet cafe outside, and the speed is also good. Let’s talk about Internet accounts. Our school has two types of accounts: China Telecom and China Unicom. The prices are 50 yuan for 300M and 30 yuan for 100M. It can be purchased at the community (Building 3) or the library.

Let’s just introduce these. To learn computers well, you first need to work hard on your own. For example, borrow some computer books from the library and practice more on the computer. I hope everyone can learn practical computer skills.

The "four taboos" and "four essentials" in learning computers

There are "four taboos" in learning computers. The first taboo is to aim high and lay a solid foundation. Beginners should first master the basic operations of Windows. The purpose of learning computers is to apply them. Therefore, it is necessary to learn and master a word processing software. Second, avoid talking on paper and be diligent in practice. Computers are highly operable. Therefore, beginners must make good use of various times for computer training and transform theory into practical operations, so that they can truly digest and absorb it.

Many people think that they lack English foundation and it is difficult to learn computers. In fact, operating systems and many software are now Chinese versions, so you can use the computer even if you don't understand foreign languages. The third taboo is to stop at a superficial taste and strive for excellence. In addition to learning computer knowledge: in addition to choosing suitable teaching materials, you should also read some relevant magazines and newspapers to broaden your knowledge. Four taboos: Do not change your mind when you see something new, but persevere.

The most important thing is to apply what you learn

Professor Tan Haoqiang's "A Misunderstanding in Computer Popularization Education" is so well written. I also think that the goals of learning are different, and the content and methods of learning are different. There should be a difference in the above, and the most important thing is to apply what you have learned. I am a chief physician, and I only started learning computers when I was much older, and the purpose was only for application. I started learning from computer principles and BASIC language. I was very interested in it at the beginning, but the more I studied, the harder it became. I didn't learn it well, and I still didn't learn the basic computer operations. I learned computer science with half the effort. Some old writers have learned how to use computers and have written several books using computers, but I am still stuck in theory and can't get out. A lot of effort was wasted. I began to wonder if I was meant to study computers. Later, I realized that learning computers mainly depends on personal needs and interests, and cannot just copy the school's routine. It is precisely some of the required courses in school that are unrealistic and backward that students dislike the most, and many of them throw them away after taking the exam. In the 16th issue of "Reader's Mailbox", Anhui reader Hu Yue said: In his school, WPS and UCDOS under the DOS platform are mostly used. In fact, everyone now uses Windows, and most of them use Office and WPS under the Windows platform at work. This is evident from the huge disconnect between our education and practical applications. "It is better to have no books than to believe in books." When learning computers, you should start with your own hobbies and needs, and apply what you have learned.

Clear the purpose and goals of using computers

Getting started with computers is not difficult. We want to use computers as tools rather than programmers ourselves. We just want to use computers to improve design speed and accuracy, improve work efficiency, and reduce the burden of manual labor. This is what we want to achieve and pursue when using computers.

Find your own position

When studying, you must first find your own position. You should regard computers as a tool and a skill, and don't be intimidated by the difficult knowledge and abstract theoretical concepts in books. Secondly, you should regard your areas of interest as your focus and breakthrough points. Thirdly, it is very important to take action. Finally, choose auxiliary teaching materials that suit you and resolutely discard those contents that are not needed now.

Reflections of another computer educator

I am a university teacher who has been engaged in computer teaching for many years. I have taught both computer major classes and non-computer major classes. My feelings. Exactly the same as Professor Tan. In teaching, I deeply realize that the more you explain abstract knowledge to non-computer major students, the more students will feel that it is irrelevant and think that the more computer they learn, the more difficult it will be. Later, if these issues are not mentioned or introduced very briefly, the students feel that computers are not difficult to learn, their learning motivation can be maintained high, and their mastery of computers is greatly improved. It can be seen that even without learning the basic structure and basic working principles of computers, everyone can learn to use computers. Just like a person who drives a car does not necessarily need to study the history of the car, nor does he need to study the combustion principle of the engine.

You don’t need to ask for detailed explanations to learn computers

Is it difficult to learn computers? Not difficult! My secret is: good computer, don’t ask for deep understanding. Three years ago, my son brought a computer into the door. I like to read, so I searched for computer books to devour them. This kind of book turned the 26 English letters upside down and it was difficult to memorize them. I read them at night with lights on for the past month, and I could only sigh: "Who would rather use a computer?" Later, from Start writing articles on the computer. In Word, you can press the "red cross" to "delete" and press the "magnifying glass" to "preview". Just knowing these, without asking for a deep explanation, can actually be handy. Later, I gradually figured out more and more tricks, and almost became a computer expert in the office, which is funny even if I think about it.

Really, it is not difficult to use a computer, as long as you "learn and apply flexibly, combine learning with application, learn when you need it first", and work hard on the word "use", you will be sure to learn it as soon as possible.

Material 2

First of all, you must understand certain hardware knowledge. Many people hold textbooks such as DOS or WINDOWS operating guides when they first start learning computers, sit in front of the computer and use the commands in the textbook one by one. In this case, how can you master the operation of computer hardware if you don’t understand them? For example, if you don’t understand the concepts of memory and hard disk, it will be difficult to understand the difference between saved and unsaved disks. If you don’t understand the functions of hard disks and floppy disks, it will be difficult for you to understand the functions of hard disks and floppy disks. It is difficult to understand when to use floppy disks and when to use hard disks, etc. Since many operations of application systems are hardware-specific, mastering the hardware can promote the learning of application software.

Secondly, you must have a clear understanding of the software you want to learn. Computer software is divided into system software and application software. Application software is software that can directly solve a specific problem for users. It must be based on system software. System software is software that manages computers and provides an environment for application software to run. For example,

DOS and WINDOWS are operating system software, which are used to manage computer hardware and software; Foxbase,

Visual

FoxPro, etc. are databases Management system; while WPS and WORD are word processing software, they are word processing software; Photoshop is image processing software and so on. Learning computer operation is actually the operation of computer software. Before learning each new software, we must first clarify what type of software it belongs to and what it can do for us.

Third, we must learn based on needs. You must grasp the main contradiction in everything you do. There are tens of millions of computer software. It is impossible for a person to learn every software, but you must have your own learning purpose, whether it is typing and typesetting for word processing, or applying databases for business management. , or engaged in image art design and so on. If the purpose of learning is clear, we can avoid detours. As long as we master the necessary knowledge, we can use computers to handle our own business as we wish.

Fourth, choose popular brand-name software among similar software. Learning to use a software proficiently, especially practical software with strong functions, is very time-consuming and energy-consuming. Therefore, on the premise of meeting the needs, try to choose those more popular brand-name software. Software products designed using such software are easy to use. communication; and such software has strong vitality, good technical support and version upgrade capabilities, thus avoiding the situation where you spend a lot of effort to learn a set of software only to be eliminated, etc.

Fifth, combine theory with practice. Computer learning must not be separated from the computer. You cannot learn by just reading the software manual. But you also have to read the manual and only operate on the computer (of course, except using teaching software to learn). Under normal circumstances, it is appropriate to spend half the time studying the textbooks and half the time on the computer. First, study the textbook, write a plan for the computer operation, and then use the computer to operate. If you encounter a problem that you don’t understand, write it down. Then go back to the textbook to find the answer or ask others for advice, and then use the computer to see if you can solve the problem. After such learning, your computer skills will definitely improve quickly.

Sixth, read extensively and learn some necessary operating system knowledge. When studying, you should choose a better computer textbook based on your learning purpose (you can ask experienced people to help you choose), and read more computer-related newspapers and magazines. Maybe the questions you encounter have already been answered for you, so you can avoid them. Take detours.

Seventh, for those who are new to computers, they should first write down the positions of each key on the keyboard. It is not necessary to remember the purpose of each key first. It will be understood naturally when combined with the software to be learned later. You must have a correct sitting posture when typing on the keyboard, and your fingers must have a division of labor when typing on the keyboard with both hands. Develop good operating habits from the beginning. Secondly, you must learn a Chinese character input method, which is a basic requirement for further learning any other software. Especially for students who spend money to use the computer, they can increase their keyboard typing speed and effectively use the time on the computer to learn new knowledge.

Eighth, the working conditions and operating procedures of the computer must be understood and strictly implemented. It is more important than learning any computer knowledge. Damaging the computer is not the purpose of learning computers.

If you want to learn programming, it is recommended to start with the basics. Learn C first. Basically, you don’t need to learn VB, and then learn C and JAVA.

VC uses C For programming, there are just a lot of convenient programming tools. It depends on what you want to do. If you are just making a common special software in the company, using VB is enough. After you become proficient in VB, you will definitely show up in the company. Programs made with VB, even very simple programs, are definitely more practical than programs in other languages ??because of the GUI graphical user interface.

Unless you want to major in computer science. However, I used to learn VB by myself and now it is much easier to learn other programming languages ??for computer majors. vb is the most suitable language for beginners and non-computer professionals

As long as you have understanding, you will still become a genius even if there is no one to guide you!
