How did you guys learn all this stuff about computer??? was it school, books or did you learn it yourself?

For me it was XS and google, If I wanted to do something all i would do is google it and read read and read some more

I did partial schooling for programming and network, but computer hardware stuff, I learned on my as I grew up. Alot of trial and error.

Well, people like Kam really help. I started out with console modding, and from the staff here, in particular Sadalius, paddy, kam, tech, and punq I leveled up over time.

I'm not really expert in any one thing, I just try to keep a wide array of interests. There are people that know a lot more than me about PC's and console modding, but I don't think there's a lot that can match my versatility.

Either way, the best way is to learn from people that know more than you... so Kam and google really help lol.

When building a PC, I got a lot of good advice from kam and theone who is a member at dvdhounds.com. People who know better and are not fanboys are really the way to go. Just hang around here, read up, and you will be at a high level in no time.

For me: trial and error, browsing the web when I had questions, then came Google, and of course a few years ago, XS was given birth. Now, I mostly learn via Google sources, the staff here, and trial and error...I never mind messing up cause that hopefully will eliminate that same mistake if I'm paying attention

thanks for great feedbacks, I learn mostly by looking around also, i have modded xbox, and know basic stuff about computers. I really wanna learn the advance stuff about computers in college (which i am in right now) and anything related to technology in general like cellphones and modding game system. But i have not yet build my first pc yet cause of college. I guess i would be sticking with laptop for awhile. But i will build my own computer when i have the chance.

If anyone has any suggestions what class i should take or what major i should focus on, let me know. Thanks!

you're welcome.

XS101 is probably one of the best classes to take and it's FREE. Just go anywhere that has an internet connection and log onto http:XTREME-SOURCE - Powered by vBulletin

Seriously, if you want to learn more about computers, a computer science major would best suit you. I'm not sure about your college courses offered, but tell your guidance counselors and I'm sure they'll get you setup. Anything involving core classes, network infrastructure, security, etc...all good points of focus.

That and your occasional XS101, you can't go wrong. Think I'm joking, look at the common denominator of everyone's response so far to this thread
