Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The A+ Certification & PC Repair Handbook (Charles River Media Networking/Security)

Book Review: One of the best on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars

For operating system problems and maintenance they cover most of the versions of Windows (95, 98, ME, 2000, XP). The only one not covered is NT, which is becoming more rare every day. There is no coverage of Linux as a desktop operating system and that is consistent with the A+ Certification exam.

All chapters end with a set of typical certification style questions to help make sure you understood the most important points of the chapter. Throughout the book the authors have included excellent photographs, illustrations, and tables with clear labels that make the material understandable and easy to learn. Tutorial exercises are also scattered throughout so you can actually test what you have learned. The book is divided into two distinct parts with Part I actually teaching you what you need to know and Part II organizing it for exam study purposes. Lots of little tips are also scattered throughout the book and help bring years of experience to the reader.

In summary, not only does it prepare you well for the exam but also provides an excellent education in PC hardware and basic configuration and maintenance. The included CD-ROM contains, among other things, several videos showing how to do things, and four practice exams. "The A+ Certification and PC Repair Handbook" is highly recommended for anyone who wants a solid basic education in PC repair and maintenance or who is trying to pass the A+ certification.
