If you are looking to get your CompTIA A+ certification, this is a good book to use. It has tons of information and Mike does his best to add merriment and mirth to what can sometimes be a dull topic. The only downside to this book, if you could call it a downside, is that it has so much information in it, the book can be quite daunting to read. Do not let its size turn you off.
I purchased this book because I wanted to help my employees get their A+ certifications and planned on using the book as a guide and nothing more. I was pleasantly surprised to find useful information and tips that I could use. I learned something new, they improved their skill sets, and hopefully we will all be A+ Certified.
Great book for preparing for CompTIA A+ exams. I passed my exams from just reading this book.
It gives great detail to help the understanding and history of computer components etc and how they work.
Meyers tends to waffle a lot but other then that I'd rec this book for anyone who is preparing for their CompTIA A+ or if you just want to learn more about computers
I'll come back and give it 5 when I get certification. I've read it through once, and found that to be useful. Now I have to go through again and take notes, go through the acompanying CD, ect. Then take the tests. However reading the book does feel like a partial acomplishment.
I got this book because I just started a job as a PC technician. I have a basic background when it comes to computers and technology and my Masters is in Instructional Technology. This book has been a big help in helping me acquire the knowledge that is required for my job. It may be along read but the author does a great job of conveying the information in an interesting way and the topics gone over in this book has helped me feel more confident and doing my job requirements. I will update my review on how prepared I was for the Comptia A+ exam after I take the test.
This wasn't the most interesting book I've ever read, but neither was the subject matter. It managed to be funny at parts, and it seemed comprehensive. I would recommend this to other people studying for the A+ certification exam.
fantastic book. You will come to know about interesting facts of computer hardware. After reading this book you can easily clear the exam. you can even assemble you personal computer.
