Books for beginners?

[RezMN]

I have a young friend who's 14 and is looking to learn about the basic's of computers. Like what's a motherboard, processor, memory, etc. and what they do. And how to build them, etc. Any ideas for books he could find in a library, or websites with tutorials?

Get a simple to read A+ certification book. Has most everything a beginner should start out with.

I'll look into that. Even for a 14 year old?

A book is a book.
If you are looking for certain information, then read that book.
For A+ I would recommend Mike Meyers

Wikipedia is a good site to learn about them.

If you actually want to build one, then go here

It's very outdated, but I used to point people at www.pcguide.com
