Not every of us are able to taste the knowledge of Information Technology and computer in formal education. Some people, with the limited amount of budget to pay for admission and tuition fee, isn’t lucky enough to go to Stanford, MIT, Caltech, or any other formal degree which required abundant amount of fee. Fortunately, with the easiness of Internet, people may learn the similar knowledge, even better, with online IT training.

Nowadays, there are numbers of online course that offer many kinds of expertise. From Microsoft based systems to databases and networking, the knowledge is basically everywhere. We must smartly choose which training is suitable and really give us complete knowledge about things we pursue. For example, for learning about Oracle databases, a tutor who holds Oracle Certification is preferred. That’s why we cannot choose a program based on the price only. Probably, cheap course also only give us cheap knowledge that actually can be obtained freely.

K Alliance, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has proven itself to be one of the reliable Computer Based Training (CBT) to give such course completed with savvy tutors. They offer A+ training videos that guarantee you to understand even deeper about specific knowledge. The program itself has several advantages, compared to similar programs offered by others. The K Alliance’s online training features training videos, hands-on labs, player controls, course map, search function, note taking, bookmarking, print, certification of completion, and multi-user licensing. With gigantic number of features, I guess no other CBT is better than the course offered by K Alliance.

Windows Server 2008 is the latest product of Microsoft Server Operating System. It replaces the previous 2003 version that has been available for 5 years. Built based on Windows NT 6.0, Windows Server has similar code base with Windows Vista, the desktop version, thus shares same functionality and architecture. I haven’t tasted this Operating System directly, although I once had taken a look on Windows Server 2003.

If you are an system administrator at office, it is important to learn about this new system as Microsoft tends to push new product by terminating its support for older version. In order of having knowledge about this brand new operating system, head of IT department is required to give training, either internally or externally, for administrator who is in charge for running this new version.

One service that may save time and money regarding this is Windows Server 2008 Computer Based Training, also called as Windows 2008 CBT. One training service that provide whole package of Windows 2008 CBT is SelfStudySource. Based in Tampa, Florida, SelfStudySource offers complete Windows 2008 training, including active directory configuration, network infrastructure configuration, and so on. The training service also provide certificate, like Microsoft Certificate Trainer Specialist (MCTS) after completion of the course. All we need is computer and time to enhance our knowledge about Windows Server 2008.

I am lucky enough to be able to study computer science intensively in college. Four years in my time is spent studying Tannenbaum books about Operating System, networking, and distribution system. Not only that, I need to learn implementing various programming languages, like Java, C, and SQL for databases. Really a hefty time back then. At least for common people, I am recognized to save their time fixing their computer’s little problem, although I myself don’t really interested now in programming subjects.

Yet, there must be someone out there that are intending to know more about programming but unable to attend formal courses, due to age or time. I have some friends, who come from different majors, but really interested about programming language, algorithm, networking, or databases. For them, I recommend opening online computer training, right from their own notebook or PC.

Most computer courses, including via Internet, offer practical usage of operating Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office collection, authorizing Linux server, or even heavy one like Oracle databases. Of course not all are streamed from Internet, since the Internet bandwidth is not always as reliable and fast as we want to. We can order collection of CD-ROMs contained tutorial series. Whether we are located in Internet savvy area or poor connection area, that will not prevent us on learning new knowledge in computer and programming sector.

Are you using Windows? Although nowadays the usage of Mac and Linux has been significantly grown up, we cannot deny that Windows is still the widely used Operating System in the whole planet. I am still using it. Don’t know what actually create the reality, but Windows definitely is supported by (almost) all software and hardware manufacturers.

Have you ever found a hardware that doesn’t have Windows drivers? Apple products may have something like that, but not other major vendor. Driver is actually some kind of license, that will make the hardware recognizable. Most of the time, the drivers themselves are contained in Windows package, especially for known products. New products, however, already inserted its driver in CD-ROM that bundled in the package.

Yet, to notice the nature of human, we may have forgotten where do we put those CD-ROMs when we need them. In my own experience, It something commonly happens, including to myself. One more trend that may prevent the use of CD-ROM are the usage of netbook, a smaller version of notebook, that most of time will not carry internal CD-ROM player due to larger room required.

Nothing to worry about it, as we can actually search the driver in the Internet. Most vendors have already put it in their own supporting sites, as there are some sites that compile the drivers into compilation. So, when we are experiencing obstacles in finding the right drivers, we know where we headed of.

I am currently a PC user. With Windows XP installed, I can use numerous softwares available. Even for one filetype extension, we select some softwares which having same usabilities. For example, you can use Windows Media Player for playing movie, but you can also use Media Player Classic, Real Player, or even Apple’s Quicktime to do similar role. Sometimes, if we install some similar softwares, we need to select one software to be used as default one. One day, if we think the software isn’t good enough to handle our requirement we can delete or uninstall it immediately and replace it with other alternative softwares.

Problem comes up when we are unistalling a software, there may be a chance of erasing or modifying some sort of registry lines. We all know that Windows is rely heavily to its registry system. When a registry is having problem, it is suggested that we seek for registry repairer so we can play or use the number of File Extension again without having more trouble. There are numerous softwares in the Internet that can be downloaded in order to fix the registry and file extension problem. But certainly we need to pick up one good software which can handle everything. If we want to fix some errors regarding File Extension jad (to play JAVA mobile file) or File Extension mdi (to play MIDI file), we must seek file extension repairer specialized in fixing multimedia filetypes.
