Book Reviews of CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Made Me Into A Moneymaking Professional
Summary: 5 Stars
First, and most important: this book has photographs, pictures, and illustrations.
I got my core knowledge of technical computing from this book when I started out as a newbie techie back in the day.
I studied the very first edition back in the age of the dinosaurs. Back then it covered both Windows and DOS and even had chapters on Windows 3.1.
It was -and still is -a huge book that looked like the compendium of all things known to man, and I consumed every bit it.
It helped me to pass my A+ exam with flying colors. It's not a textbook to be studied just for an exam -at least I didn't take it just as such. I read it also with a pure enjoyment of learning.
I particularly enjoyed the second chapter, on processors. Sometimes I take the book from my book shelf and read over that chapter out of pure fascination.
It starts thus: "in this chapter you will:
1.) Understand the concepts of buses, and the functions of the data bus and the address bus.
2.) Understand the clock, clock speed, the concept of clock doubling
3.) Understand the relationship of RAM to the CPU and RAM caching.
4.) Inspect the different type of processors available in the past and today
5.) Learn how to install and upgrade processors."
Even though my copy is from the age of the gnomes, the same basic information hasn't change. It only got more fascinating.
