  • Entertaining text books exist!
I have never waxed poetic about a text book before, but I'm about to do it now. I am taking a CompTIA A+ class online in an attempt to get an IT degree. While I have a lot of experience with computers, I didn't have nearly the knowledge I thought I did. My online class has been ok but oh so very boring. After a full day of work and taking care of young children, I was having difficulty concentrating on my online coursework/reading. I will admit that the online reading made for a fantastic sedative that could lull one to sleep pretty much anywhere. After 2 weeks of trying to drudge through a swamp of technical jargon, I decided it was time to find something else to aid in my educational pursuit. The reviews for this book were really good, so I purchased it. I am grateful I did. I have not finished the book so I cannot confirm how well it will help with actually getting my certification; though I will attempt to update in the future. I am a few hundred pages into the book so far, and it is actually entertaining. Yes, there are sections that are a little bogged down with data, but the author has a whit that he has woven throughout his writings. His explanations are so simplified that one could understand even without a rudimentary background in IT. I think I love this book and I haven't even used all the tools it comes with. I like it so much that I've bought the Kindle version too so I don't have to lug around this massive tome. In short, this book has been entertaining (especially for a text book about computers), easy to read, makes the subject understandable, and has kept my attention. 5 stars! ... show more

  • Passed Both Exams On 1st Attempt
Hi everyone, As of yesterday I took both the 901 and 902 exam and passed them both on my first try. I read this ENTIRE book. In addition to this book I suggest checking out Professor Messer on Youtube and looking at his study material. Some background, I am new to the IT world. I have never had an IT job and my only experience is being a mid-20's adult who grew up with a Windows PC. The book can be overwhelming at first but it seems to build upon concepts to where it will eventually click. It is a lot of reading but there are great graphics and the author makes it relateable and easy to read. The book has practice quizzes that were great. I did not use the DVD it came with, though. As for the exam itself, it is hard and you pretty much need to know everything in order to be able to rule certain answers out. A lot of it is troubleshooting but knowing everything else only helps with breaking down the questions. It will have a few answers that are all right but you need to pick the BEST answer which means you need to have good comprehension of concepts. Good luck! ... show more

  • Great book...but it needs COLOR fotos...and printed screenshots that are larger and easier to read.
I purchased the book for my son and we just received it a few days ago. At this point, I have only spent a couple of hours flipping through the book to review the content as well as to read a few sections. The book looks very good, and I think it was a wise purchase. I spent quite a bit of time researching other popular A+ study guides, websites, and video courses. It seems as though Mike's book is one of the most popular choices, and for good reason. The table of content, and the organization looks very good. I have read several small portions, and they were all equally good. As many have stated before me, Mike's writing style is very good in that it is simple to read, which is a good thing when an individual is trying to learn new technical content. As much as I think the book is very good, I felt it was fair to give it 4 out of 5 stars for one reason: the fotos are only black and white, yet it is a very obvious no-brainer that they should be in full color. Even though I understand the content well, many of the black and white fotos are simply not helpful enough. Color fotos would be an enormous help. An image that includes several color cables doesn't do much good when the cables appear as several shades of gray. I don't know how much more the book would cost with color fotos, but it currently sells for $45. Surely, it wouldn't cost more than a few dollars more to have it printed with color content, and I would gladly pay an extra $10 or $15 for such an option. Why cheap out over something that will take a few months or a year to accomplish? As far as the current black and white screen shot images, some of them are quite difficult to read. The black text on light gray is pretty hard to read. As a side note, I will offer the following: - The A+ certification is merely that...it is only a "certification". It will not in *any* way, replace the value of a college education (I share this for the computer enthusiasts in high school or who have been out of school for a handful of years. Although I very much understand that a college degree isn't for everyone, it's important that everyone accept that an A+ "is what it is" (this is even the case with the much more difficult MCSE and Cisco certs). - I've always criticized the A+ because it seems like such a sub-standard shortcut to a more robust education, but I've come to accept the following fact: There is TONS of knowledge to be gained when studying for the A+ cert. True, some of it is embarrassingly idiotic and outdated knowledge, but 90% of it is not. I have a 4 year degree, I worked in the corporate world as a developer at a somewhat prestigious company, and I have been a full-time independent computer/network consultant for over 15 years. However, there is a LOT in that book that I do not know...things that would be very helpful for me to learn and that would help me make more money from my clients. The point is that the A+ tech knowledge would be the *icing on the cake* for me...not the cake. The "cake" is a combo of my degree as well as my non-tech experience. The cake is more valuable. : ) - My teenage son wants to learn a lot more about hardware, software, networking, etc. He was somewhat all over the map with what he was studying, learning, watching, and doing. He had no way to chart his course...no "end destination"...no way to measure his progress. - That's what the A+ will be for us. A guide that will help to encourage him by allowing him to track his progress on the way to a measurable goal. For that, the A+ is wonderful. - It would be wrong to discount the A+ knowledge (like I have done for the past 20 years). Instead, accept it for what it is. If you are 25, you can make $10-$15/hr working as a tech. If you are 25, and pass the A+ cert, then perhaps you will make a bit more (probably not too much more). Even if you don't make much more money with the A+, you will likely get hired quicker than the guy *without* the A+. : ) Back to this book: If you don't think you'll stick to the book for more than a few chapters, then don't waste your time, money, or mismanaged aspirations. Yet, if you really think you can stick to a worthy goal over a period of 6 months to a year, then it will be $45 well spent, and you will never regret it. If you can't make your $45 bucks back by doing side work after a few months of reading this book, then you are doing something very wrong, and it's not likely any book can help you. lol Enjoy. ...and Mike...print the next one in color. : ) -Spikeman ... show more
