Interactive works well
20 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
People learn in different ways. Some individuals can simply read a book and pick up the concepts. Others learn best by doing -- they need to get their hands dirty before they can absorb and retain new skills. This book gives you the best of both worlds: it's a source of knowledge for those who like to read and learn abstractly, but it also is rich in hands-on exercises and labs. The interactive nature of this book makes it very different from others I've seen in the market. You can call me biased since I did editing work on this book, but I think its format would work very well for anyone new to the A+ certification, as well as serve as a great reference for someone who needed a refresher. Another difference I've seen is that the exercises and labs are meant to be "real world" examples -- so there aren't these prettied-up cases you'd never be so lucky to find at your client's site. Hopefully, this book will prepare readers for the exam, but will also make them better technicians overall.

Interactive and interesting!
13 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
When you think of A+ you think of motherboards, sound cards, modems, memory, hard drives, installation and configuration, Windows 95, repair and troubleshooting. You next think of the exam, well Prentice Hall has made learning a little easier with this book.
Follow along the 12 chapters and the 90 plus labs; along with reviews questions that will test your thinking and you have a real chance at passing the A+ Certification exam. This book gives you "real life" hands on exercises that cover each and every A+ Objective.
Well written and well organized, this book will make learning a whole lot easier. From removing add on cards and memory to setting up a network printer, you'll be hard pressed to find a better or more complete set of labs. As a computer instructor, this workbook is a definite asset to the learning process.

The Best Way to Learn...
21 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
...is to do! Kudos to the author and publisher of this book for having the insight to challenge learners in the best, most effective way possible. Not only does this book provide a slew of sample Exam questions, but it will have you deep into the guts of your system -- in the very first lab!!! your understanding of each concept is locked because you're physically following along with each step. There's no other book like this, and no better way to prepare for the exam then to gain the experience this book provides.
