Courses - PineCone Computing Solutions


Education is Important

So many of us use computers in our every day lives, but so few of us so much as scratch the surface in terms of using them productively and efficiently. In the past, computers were operated through Command Prompt - the computer would display a 'prompt' on-screen, and the user would type a 'command'. This sort of interaction helped bring the user much closer to the underlying operation of the computer, and thus bettered the user's understanding of the technology. Since then, there has been the advent of the Graphical User Interface, introduces primarily in 1984 by Apple. This allowed the user to interact with the computer in new ways: using a mouse to 'click' on icons and buttons. This introduced the computer to a far wider audience, but has also resulted in some confusion.

Communication Problems

Most people are taught to use the computer by learning how to do individual tasks, for example, you might have learnt how to send an email, add a picture to a Word document, or add up values in Excel. But when there is a problem, or the methods you've been taught cannot be applied directly, that's when the trouble sets in. With such a huge range of software available, is it really possible to learn how to do a specific task on all of them?

Reach an Understanding

You'll be amazed by how much more you'll be able to do and how many more problems you'll be able to resolve by obtaining a better knowledge of your respective technologies. We design our courses around you (so please be patient!) and your exact needs. Then, you can follow them at your own pace.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Albert Einstein
