computer skills for introdution are very simple ,but it is some question to go deep into it ,so,after you learn some basic computer skills ,you should select an in-depth point,such as hardware,network, database ,program and other technologies.

To "go off on a tangent" means to talk about something that is completely unrelated to the topic that "should" be discussed. For instance, if I was in a biology class, and the professor started talking about the war in Iraq, along with all the history and politics of that region, then I would say that he "went off on a tangent"--since he talked about the war instead of biology, the thing he should have been talking about.
