PC Hardware Explained
Description
Modern computers are based on a modular design. This enables anyone with a screwdriver set to assemble a fully functional desktop computer that works just as good as a store-bought branded PC. Assembling is easy. Knowing which computer components will work together can be a daunting task for a newbie. This book solves that problem. It explains computer hardware using simple terms, illustrations, photographs and tables. You will be able to read the technical specifications of a PC and understand what it can and cannot do. The mumbo-jumbo accompanying the sales pitch of a new computer will not seem so alien. Whether assembling a new computer from parts or buying a new desktop/laptop from the store, this book will help you make the correct choice. (There is a chapter with generic steps for building a desktop computer.) After you have read and understood the book, you can use it as a ready-reference for hardware terminology.

Person
V. Subhash is an invisible Indian writer, programmer and cartoonist. In 2020, he published one of the biggest jokebooks of all time ? 2020 FRESH CLEAN JOKES FOR EVERYONE. He followed this jokebook with a tech book on the free multimedia-editing utility FFmpeg and a 400-page volume of 149 political cartoons.
Although he had published a few ebooks (using off-the-shelf software) as early as 2003, Subhash did not publish books in the traditional sense until 2020. For over two decades, Subhash had used his website www.VSubhash.com as the main outlet for his writing. During this time, he had accumulated a lot of published and unpublished material. This content and the advanced book-production process that he had developed helped him publish 21 books in his first year. In February 2023, Apress/SpringerNature published his rewritten and updated FFmpeg book as QUICK START GUIDE TO FFMPEG. Thus, by early 2023, Subhash had published 30 books!
In 2022, Subhash ran out of non-fiction material and tried his hand at fiction. The result was UNLIKELY STORIES, a collection of horror and comedy short stories. After adding new stories to this fiction title (for its second edition), Subhash plans to pause his writing and move on to other things.
Subhash pursues numerous hobbies and interests, several of which have become the subject of his books such as COOL ELECTRONIC PROJECTS, HOW TO INSTALL SOLAR and HOW TO INVEST IN STOCKS. He was inspired to write his jokebook after years of listening to vintage American radio shows such as 'Fibber & Molly' and 'Duffy's Tavern'.
