I know you were joking about using a dummies book to set up network security. But when I was in high school in 1998, our trade school addon for the school was trying to get Cisco (a networking company) to sponsor our school so that the students could get certifications right out of high school. The problem was, the school needed to have an active Local Area Network. This was a time before wifi so it all had to be done with cables and wires. Well myself and a few other students were given the task of installing an entire district wide Local Area Network complete with wiring closet that looked like the brain for the borg. Most of the reference material we had to go by was in fact a few different for Dummies books. We got it done in 6 months working before and after school, and all of us that participated were given a title by the Governor of the state of "Kentucky Colonels" Just like the KFC guy. We would not have been able to do that without those Dummies books as this was a time before TH-cam and Google as the repository of knowledge they are now.
Love this!! A lot of people forget in life that before the internet was popular we needed to use books
@@keithstone4443I like physical books a lot more than pdfs
The hyper specific ones are really unusual but the broader subjects are amazing and helped me with a bunch of topics.
I really like the Dummies books for Science and maths subjects!
Is it good for precalculus
Me too! I love the anatomy and physiology books and biology as well as animals ones!
I'm having fun with the one about physics
@@matheuso.7204i want to start that one can u update me
Loved this video but they're not really targeted for dummies, like you said (and also said the opposite lol). They're targeted at people who need a quick guide to the FUNDAMENTALS of a topic. I'm in a biotech master's program and "Genetics for Dummies" has saved me. It's incredible and the length is good too. 300-400 like you said. I couldn't even get through the first chapter of our assigned textbook so I need to take a step back lol.
My man bought dozens of for dummies books for one video. Never change Sam
😁
Or he went to the library where he could take out 75 books for free
My man have you seen his most ridiculous magic the gathering deck?
I taught myself the Excel program by using a Dummies book. I simply started at the beginning and worked my way through doing the exercises in each chapter. By the time I got halfway through the book I was fairly competent with Excel.
I agree with some of these arguments, the super specific topics, but on the core subjects for school, example being Calculus for dummies are really some incredible books that you can learn a ton of information within a week. Great video though!
These books are so cool especially for Maths
For your next project find out who are the best "for dummies" publishers. By "the best" I mean not only that they are trying to make difficult info memorable and understandable but they actually teach the subjects comprehensively.
I can just fantasize him waiting on the cash register in the book store with 60 books on different topics. He ain't no dummy no more.
This video is of incredible quality. It kept me entertained and fascinated the entire time it was on. Cannot recommend the video more. Excellent work.
Isn't the dummy term here used for marketing purposes? To catch your attention in the bookstore, Its slightly offensive but mostly funny. if it was called "A guide to math for beginners" or "Facebook marketing for the novice" it wouldn't be as interesting. But yeah i agree the series are for smart people, although I'm not so sure about some of the examples you demonstrated like the hair loss etc :D Dummies to me are people who regardless of where they stand now intellectually refuse to improve their capabilities and stagnate instead or reverse.....dummies don't read books :D
11th Stage of grief 🤣🤣
Is that caravan from whiplash i hear? 🤨🤨🤨
Hey i know you have not uploaded for 1 year, but love to see you hop back on TH-cam again ❤
I’m not joking I had nightmares about the little white dude on the cover when I was younger
ME TOO
I bought one For Dummies book. The 'author' liked to make jokes, long drawn-out annoying dumb jokes. It slowed everything down. I donated it for recycle. Now, I get manuals and college text books. I skim & proofread before I buying.
Thank you for this For Dumies For Dummies :)
quality content. don’t always agree but good video energy. easily will be a 500k channel in about a year or so
Nice prediction, nostradamus
so what is your alternative
I came here from your magic deck.
Keep making content. Its glorious.
Just bought a copy of Autocad for dummies, looked in the index & nothing about the Presspull function. Still it was that that lead me to you video so not a completely negative outcome.
Wouldn’t they be good to sort of get the outline of the topic? Because if you were more serious, you would look further into the topic, especially now that you know what you’re looking for?
I love the books that i have a full section in my personal library
El Espanol para Dummies libros son buenísimo!
Me encanta. Pero me gusto tu video de comedia! Jajaj
* Los libros de Español para Dummies son buenísimos*
I feel like you either, A: have read all these and used them or, B: paid a ridiculous amount of money for all of those 😂
Jokes on you I don't know what CG means
the templar code😂😂😂😂
I don’t know man. Some of these books are decent, but most are duds. The three that I have had that I thought were winners were
Excel for dummies
Cobol for dummies (they made 1 version in like 1999 and it has a whole section on making codes “Y2K compliant”)
SQL for dummies
But most of them are duds. What you have to understand is that the best ones are obvious “reference guides” for people who know a little, like you said.
Over a couple of decades, I have bought and formed a huge collection library for the book series …..For Dummies and The Complete Idiot’s Guide To……My assessment about these 2 series? I feel each chapter seems like sitting in and listening to a 1 hour lecture about that particular title bcos of the usage of basic English and sometimes dry witty humour.
lol this is a great video
Bold move.
I disagree a lot of for dummies are really solid books written by guys with very solid credentials. For example Eric Tyson who attended Stanford for finance and has written all the financial literacy for dummies books
Well, if you're smart you could just read up that stuff on Wikipedia.
the E-Book paradox got my "like"
How dare you disrespect the good name of Quiznos!
Any sensible man with even a little sekf respect won't hold this book, so he won'nt like a dummy.
60 books wowowowowowo. That's awesome, I just bought 2 and I feel like I'm a dummy
I’m not a fan of the smaller books
Hilariously dry
