Montaż komputera PC. Ilustrowany przewodnik. Wydanie II

Bartosz Danowski, Adam Chabiński

Poznaj najważniejsze elementy komputera Naucz się samodzielnie wybierać sprzęt Dowiedz się, jak złożyć komputer i zainstalować system Nie istnieje jeden doskonały model komputera osobistego, który byłby w stanie zaspokoić niejednokrotnie bardzo odmienne potrzeby różnych użytkowników. Choć każdy chciałby mieć jak najlepszy sprzęt, innych osiągów będą spodziewali się graficy, inżynierowie czy naukowcy, a innych gracze, programiści, redaktorzy czy księgowe. Nie wszystkim potrzebne są też niezwykle wydajne i kosztujące krocie maszyny, na które starają się namówić nabywców sprzedawcy sprzętu. Nie każdy też uważa popularne ostatnio laptopy za najlepsze i najtańsze rozwiązanie. Czy jesteś zatem skazany na dyktat "mądrzejszych" od siebie sprzedawców, poszukiwanie rady u bardziej doświadczonych osób lub konieczność wyboru gotowego modelu spośród bardzo ogólnej oferty dużych firm komputerowych? Nie, ponieważ możesz skorzystać z wiedzy zawartej w książce "Montaż komputera PC. Ilustrowany przewodnik. Wydanie II" . Dzięki niej poznasz budowę współczesnych pecetów i wykorzystywane w nich technologie, a ponadto nauczysz się określać swoje potrzeby i w zależności od nich dobierać komponenty zestawu. Dowiesz się, na co należy zwracać szczególną uwagę podczas planowania zakupu komputera dostosowanego do indywidualnych potrzeb. Składanie własnego komputera od podstaw przestanie być czymś magicznym, a ustawienia BIOS-u nie będą już sprawiać problemów. Pozbędziesz się też obaw przed samodzielną rozbudową i drobnymi naprawami swojego "składaka" oraz nauczysz się instalować system operacyjny i odpowiednie sterowniki urządzeń. Podstawy architektury komputerów PC Dobór i zakup odpowiednich komponentów Niezbędne narzędzia i warsztat pracy Montaż komponentów i ich łączenie Uruchamianie sprzętu i rozwiązywanie problemów Konfiguracja ustawień BIOS-u Instalacja systemu operacyjnego i sterowników Spraw, aby samodzielne składanie komputera było dla Ciebie czystą przyjemnością!

Monte Cassino

Matthew Parker

Bitwa narodów II wojny światowej. Klasztor na Monte Cassino stał się wielkim symbolem ludzkiego poświęcenia i niemal niewyobrażalnego cierpienia. Monte Cassino było zapewne najdoskonalszą pozycją obronną w Europie. Szczególnie umocniony przez Niemców rejon był częścią linii Gustawa blokującej aliantom drogę do Rzymu na początku 1944 roku. Z powodu skalistego, usianego urwiskami terenu działania bojowe prowadziła tam głównie piechota wspierana ostrzałami artyleryjskimi. Kiedy przywódcy aliantów spierali się o strategię, zwykli żołnierze z blisko dwudziestu krajów walczyli w straszliwych warunkach. Sześciomiesięczne walki przerodziły się w rzeź przywołującą na myśl najgorsze epizody pierwszej wojny światowej w której ćwierć miliona ludzi zostało zabitych lub rannych. Opierając się na bezpośrednich relacjach weteranów z całego świata, Matthew Parker odtworzył tę spektakularną bitwę i doświadczenia niezwykle odważnych ludzi, którzy w niej walczyli. W Polsce zdobycie Monte Cassino pozostaje symbolem odwagi, poświęcenia i bohaterstwa żołnierzy 2. Korpusu Polskiego generała Andersa walczących o wyzwolenie Europy i powrót do wolnej ojczyzny. Monte Cassino było małą wojną podczas drugiej wojny światowej. [] Matthew Parker łączy skrupulatne badania archiwalne z wywiadami z setkami weteranów, aby przedstawić nam wyczerpującą relację z tego potwornego konfliktu. - James Bradley, autor Sztandaru chwały.

You will then focus on developing effective timed tests, self-scoring quizzes while organizing the content, building different lessons, and incorporating assessments. Lastly, you will dive into more advanced topics such as creating interactive templates for a full course by focussing on creating each element and create workshops and portfolios which encourage engagement and collaboration
