From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThere's a brand-new A+ exam -- and it's about time. Yes, computer technicians tend to repair old computers, but even so, the last one was woefully out of date. Just check out last year's A+ books: they had to use carbon-dating to check all that Windows 3.1 coverage!
If you're preparing for the new A+ exam, you need a new book. Here's an excellent one: Coriolis's A+ Exam Prep. The authors cover everything you need to know, for both the operating systems and hardware components of the exam. On the OS side: Windows 98, Win2K, even a little Linux. File systems through NTFS5. Troubleshooting Windows GUIs. On the hardware side: LCDs, PDAs, USB and FireWire, networking, and lots more. There's a new practice exam in the book, and more of them on disk.
A+ is finally ready for the 21st century, and with this book, you will be, too.(Bill Camarda)
