Excelent book

I think that the A+ bible is good for people without expertice on the computer field or with knoledge about computers, i have 4 certifications and have taken many courses of computers and i find these book, well presented, well writen, and especially with a 100% coverage of the exam .Good luck, always buy two books for a cert.thats my advice.

book was great

I thought the book was great. I used it, the Dummies book and also got the dali design software that was on the CD. Passed both tests no problem.

Well presented and comprehensive

The A+ Certification Bible is an addition to the rapidly expanding bookshelf of study guides which aim to address the new A+ objectives set out by the compTIA.Each chapter within this book, targets specific objectives by providing comprehensive information on the relevant technologies, end of chapter questions, scenarios, and a number of lab exercises.By injecting an element of personality into its text, avoiding technical waffle and making liberal use of photos and diagrams, the A+ Certification Bible is as pleasurable to read as it is informative.Due to its comprehensive and accessible content I recommend this book as an essential purchase for those who want a resource which will serve as a useful reference in the future as well as providing the necessary knowledge to pass the A+ exams.

Excellent breakdown of the exam.

CompTIA has released the newest version of the A+ exam and it is very important to make sure you stay on top of the objectives in order to ensure you pass both exams on the first go round. In this 1,150 page book there is seven parts, each part taking a piece of the exams and breaking them down in a manner that makes it understandable and covers the exam objective very well. From part 1 - Hardware like CPU, motherboards, RAM, CMOS to part2 - installing and configuring hardware, peripherals and portables. Part 3 is the troubleshooting section. While part 4 deals with the OS basics in the areas like commands and file management. Part5 is the installation and configuration of Windows 9.x, NT Workstation and 2000 Professional followed up with part 6 as the troubleshooting section for the Operating systems. Finally Part 7 - networking. There are labs; review questions step by step instructions and cd with test question using the Boson engine. Overall I would say the author has put together a real winner.

Great resource!

I am currently studying for the A+ Certification exams. I have a little experience in this topic area and am looking to clean up my knowledge. This study guide doesn't just give facts but explains concepts in a clear-to-understand fashion. There are plenty of screenshots, diagrams, and pictures to help illustrate the points covered. I would highly recommend this book!! I have not written the exams yet because I am still reading, but I am extremely pleased so far!
