Rosenbaum & Pearl

Im looking to gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of IB and was wondering if you guys would recommend Rosenabaum & Pearl's IB book for a beginner? Also, what is the best way to get a solid grasp on excel and powerpoint?

Currently I have a Mac but considering making the switch to PC. Would appreciate any thoughts

R&P is a classic — def recommend. If you don’t have quick access to a Windows machine, I suggest you get one. Doesn’t have to be the best laptop, but it’ll be helpful in mastering shortcuts.
