No doubt, pictures are useful learning aids. They are much better than heavy conventional text books. What about going through a set of pictures to learn Word, HTML and PHP?
In Pictures provide learning materials based on pictures. You will not find lengthy explanations and code samples. However, hints are provides above each of the pictures so that you can recognize the material displayed on the picture.
I noticed that the creator of the site has examined each of the topics in a clear manner with monochrome screenshots. The only disadvantage is that users require a computer to access the site. Nowadays, many people are having access to computers and I don’t think this will be a big problem.
As of the time of this writing, inpics.net provides content related to the following topics.
