Tools and utilities in free software

Free 365 page eBook “Tools and utilities in free software” from Free Technology Academy. This book will introduce learners to some of the programs designed for the desktop environments of end users.

Description

These programs allow users to browse the Internet securely (Mozilla), manage e-mail and work in groups (Evolution) and create word-processor text documents, spreadsheets and presentations (OpenOffice.org). With this book, students will learn how to work with these free tools in different environments.

On this course, students will also discover how to work with these free tools in proprietary environments such as Microsoft Windows, as well as GNU/Linux of course.

The course contents are organised into two main parts. The first, which covers Units 1 and 2, deals with Internet tools, while the second focuses on the OpenOffice.org program, which needs more units due to its complexity.
