Currently, my computer monitor is teetering upon a very large blue manual called ‘Configuring, Managing, and Maintaining Windows Server, 2008-based Servers - Volume 1’ and I feel sorry for whoever had to read it. It reminds me of the many course books I encountered over the years; the expensive and heavy books full of black and white text that I had to beg, borrow and buy to unleash the knowledge within them. I would then set about sifting through the text and writing reams of notecards with different diagrams and colours to try and create more interesting information that would stick in my brain. Hours could be spent redesigning the information before my learning could begin.
