CompTIA A+ Certification Practice Exams (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) (Certification Press) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has to be one of my favorite study books for the A+ Exam. The price is reasonable, and I feel it's a better study experience over brain dumps and other resources I've studied with. I've let 2 other people borrow this book with the main A+ book this accompanies and it helped them pass the test.

Using Information Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So the only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars is because of the material in the book. The book itself is in great condition, came quickly and was a great price. Though, if you are a student trying to get a cheaper price and buy the older edition you MUST keep in mind that some of the information is a little outdated. Though it still works perfectly and alongside the lectures in class I don't have any issues with the book. It was the perfect decision for me and I would recommend it to other students, as long as you already have a basic background in computers.

The Williams, Using Information Technology, 8th edition utilizes a practical, applied approach to technology. This text is user-focused and has been highly updated including topics, pictures and examples. The Williams text contains less theory and more application to engage students who might be more familiar with technology.Continually published and updated for over 15 years, Using Information Technology was the first text to foresee and define the impact of digital convergence—the fusion of computers and communications. It was also the first text to acknowledge the new priorities imposed by the Internet and World Wide Web and bring discussion of them from late in the course to the beginning. Today, it is directed toward the "Always On" generation that is at ease with digital technology—comfortable with iPhones, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and the blogosphere—but not always savvy about its processes, possibilities, and liabilities. This 8th edition continues to address the two most significant challenges that instructors face in teaching this course:•Trying to make the course interesting and challenging,and•Trying to teach to students with a variety of computer backgrounds.In addition, this text correlates with Simnet Online for full integration of resources within the Computing Concepts course.

Network+ Certification Study Guide, Third Edition (Certification Study Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an Associate professor at a community college and have been teaching Network+ for more than 10 years. After the recent certification exam change I had to review what was out there for the new exam. I am so glad this book was one I decided to take a look at. The book is to the point... check out the number of pages out there in some of the other study guides. Glen has a practical down-to-earth style of writing that makes it easier for students to get a handle on new concepts. The review questions at the end of the chapter are really good. I also love how the book has hands-on labs right in the chapters, and if that is not enough there is a whole lab manual that comes on the cd. Finally, if all this isn't enough there is a practice exam that comes on the cd as well. Wow, quite a bit for the money.
With that said there are a couple minor tweaks that need to be made in the next edition.
1. The requirements listed for the Network+ exam in the intro are for the old exam.
2. I would like to have seen "N10-004" or "Network+ 2009 exam" somewhere on the front or back cover. I had to look at the publishing date to make sure I had the
right book for the new exam.
3. The practice exam that came on the cd is good but there is no way to control what chapters or exam domains you want to pull questions from.
With that said, I am looking forward to using this book over the next few years and will be the first in line for the 5th Edition.
