I'm an independent contractor. I need certifications to establish credibility with my customers. Without it, I'm just another geek and who knows if I know what I'm talking about.
I don't have a huge company behind me with a big training budget. It comes out of my own pocket.
I used this book to prepare for the A+ exam and passed it on the first try.
Don't expect a thrilling read. It's workman like and to the point. You will be tempted to skip over sections that ... Read More

The book itself is a great cram read for Comptia A+ exam, because it does touch upon the material that will be covered, but I recommend video tutorials for those who are new to the computing technology. Supplementing this reading with video tutorials from either transignal or cbt nuggets, you will definitely pass the exam. For those who have doing IT for more than 2 years, this book is just fine.

This book has a lot of detailed information cramed into a relatively small package. If nothing else, it has certainly given me the confidence to take on the high priced CompTIA A+ exam.

One minor black mark. I found ... Read More

If you don't have any of that experience, this book is still helpful, but I'd recommend practicing (ie. building a PC, installing/configuring a Windows OS, etc.) alongside reading through the book to see first hand the material being covered.
