Let’s Get Started
Tablets for Beginners is designed to be read in order. Readers should begin with section one and continue through the material as if they were actually taking a computer course. The sections all relate and build upon each other.
Readers should keep a tablet close at hand while reading Tablets for Beginners. We recommend you read through an entire section and then go back and try the steps outlined in the section.
Keep a pen or pencil handy to take notes and go at your own pace. You’ll be a tablet wiz before you know it!
