wanna learn about shooting, read Jeff Cooper's books

Hardware is my peepee when your mom touches it xD

Tell Durgesh

CompTIA textbooks.

the elements of computing systems

A+ a shit

Any subject is a "huge area" that requires "learning tools" and "picking them based on what you want to accomplish" if the argument expands broadly enough, including photography and strength training

Point of this thread
------------------------------
Your head

>strength training
>nearly as deep and complex as IT
(You)

> no such comprehensive, authoritative introduction exists
It's called a computer science degree. Now fuck off, Pajeet.

No,
Summerfags are not welcome

The first 3 fields you mention are not trades. There are no recognised degree-conferring educational institutions operating in those areas.
Therefore it is, at best, a matter of opinion what you learn and how applicable it is to your desired outcome.
IT, however, is a trade/profession recognised by degree-conferring educational institutions and, more importantly, prospective employers.
Try applying for a job as security guard with the claim that you once read a book.

nice cope though, Pajeet

Yeah, but you're better off knowing something then going at it like a retard.

What you're looking for is any A+ study guide. GLHF, OP.

Why are you bragging about getting a specialized job in a thread about the general subject?

He said IT, not programming, and it's not even summer anymore.
Holy fuck Comp Sci majors are so autistic.
I'd start with Eli the Computer guy's old school videos and then just do follow up research on the topics yourself. Also, it wouldn't hurt to find some old Linux SysAdmin book at a used bookstore.

starting strength is trash

Where's a book on "mathematics" or "chemistry", then?

IT includes programming, dumbass.

Just do what I did, take shit apart and hope you don't break it. Then learn why you broke it and how you can fix it.

>wanna learn some specific subject
>here's a book about that specific subject

>tfw, there's no one specific book to learn this huge topic

Of course it does you absolute fucking mongrel. But you don't see SysAdmins sitting around writing huge ass C programs now do you? No, because it's a small subset of IT and normally revolves around writing Bash, powershell, Python scripts and of course database stuff. You don't need a fucking comp sci degree or to understand how a CPU works to do IT level programming, and it certainly doesn't need to be one of the first things some learns when getting into IT.

>wanna learn about the entirety of IT with nothing specific in mind

Did you niggas miss the part where it said "introduction"?

introduction to what.
We already have one complaint of incompleteness you're probably looking for pic related

>introduction to what.
IT

Nigger
CompTIA textbooks. Pirate them or buy them off eBay used. Do you want to study for A+ or networking? Try Sybex, decent author. Or just google 'entry IT books'.

Already A+ and CCNA certified. A+ was a trash tier test, especially for what it promisesm. At least CCNA has a lab portion

>introduction!!!
Ah... So something equivalent to kindergarten mathematics?
Let's see...
Pic related might suit you well.
Have you read OP comparing specific topics to whole IT? Introduction to IT would be literally, learning how to turn on your computer and use it (nowadays)
If you're OP, then you're dumb fuck

ypyu;re an idiot kid. If you're acting like this much of a spoonfed bitch tou're never going to make it in the industry. go back to thinking resettting router is programming. We have no need for low IQ cucks here.

It depends on what you mean by "IT skills". The field is absolutely fuckhueg.

Take the gay-pill and girls will want to be your friend and all invite you over. Once you've got a good size group of girls hanging with you because they think you wont hit on them, you go in for the kill. Say that you always wondered what it would be like to be with a girl, one of them is bound to put out user.

He doesn't understand that, OP has been getting pissy because he thinks he can learn it all with one beginner book

I guess he doesn't get that the books he's read are surface level material, even in the rather shallow hobby categories he used in the OP. The equivalent for "IT" is probably the For Dummies books, which fits since he's clearly mentally challenged.

>> wanna learn IT skills
>> no such comprehensive, authoritative introduction exists
Okay, I am going to write it

>I guess he doesn't get that the books he's read are surface level material,
This, i guarantee he thinks he is a master of the subjects he listed books on because he read them. he is the equivalent of a college kid who took a psychology course and thinks he understands everything.

I'm the OP, like I said here I'm already A+ and CCNA qual'd. You've got it opposite, I don't think I'm particularly smart but I realized the inadequacy of the introductory materials. Even if I specialize in something like software development, I recognize the importance of other skills like hardware repair and want to learn. Projecting your bullshit assumptions onto me 'cause you've got some internal problems isn't gonna make you feel better in the long term.

Thanks to the anons that actually suggested material tho

You came in here asking for a single source to learn "IT", whatever the fuck that means. Your vagueness and absurd request made you look like a blowhard.
If you go around wearing a pink peacock dress people will think you're a fag. They'll assume you love taking anonymous cocks in truck stop bathrooms, and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself for wearing a ridiculous outfit. Ask good questions, get good answers. Talk like a retard, get treated like a retard.
Welcome to Jow Forums, cunt.

You're a pathetic manchild.

Checked.

> calling someone retarded when you don't know what an introduction is

You can just read wikipedia, retard.

I'm from Jow Forums so I definitely just read and shitpost. I don't even lift

You're really putting your lack of intelligence on full display here.

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK is your problem?

You're that guy nobody wants to partner with, because you show up to lab without reading ANY of the relevant material in advance.
