Comptia A+ books.

I like Bigelow Hardware book. It's one of the most comprehensive books, but it's also expensive. Very thick also.

A+ books by Thomson (author Jean Andrews) are good.

Also, Sybex books are good.

Just don't get any Bible or Passport books, those books suck literally. And once you get the basics, keep yourself up to date. Those books are not of much use in a few years' time as technology moves. You can still keep them reference though, they are a great help any time.

anyway what does A+ stand for

if not wrong i oso see in library got V+ or C++ thing , what are those ?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

No idea, just need to know anybody who says they have an A+ cert from Comptia means they are technicians, specifically computer technicians.

V+ ? Never hear before.

C++ is a programming language.

Unidentified SG

got a A+ book today , i see non you recomend in the shelf so i finally got a comptia A+ certification for dummies

Got picture lah , but no so much nia , anyway if i have any question in this book , is there a sticky link i can refer to or to ask question ?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Err... A+ books assume you have basic knowledge of PCs...

There's no sticky link, if you have any question, either Google it or ask here. Somebody will help you with it.
