This 1300-page tome is an ideal text for high school, vocational, and community college A+ preparation courses. The author is a distinguished professor who has taught these classes, and you can tell by her choices when highlighting a key concept or presenting a lab that most if not all of this content has been tested in a classroom environment. Additionally, the inclusion of accurate information on recent and emerging technologies (Windows 10, wearables, 3-D printing) provides value beyond just exam preparation.My only criticism of the book is that it is, perhaps, too voluminous. It seems as if each and every point is outlined, exemplified, reiterated, photographed, and then summarized with a table or a funny cartoon. The practicing technician looking to recertify with an up-to-date Exam Cram will NOT be happy with this approach! That said, the teenager, the retiree, the enthusiast, the career-changer, and above all the classroom instructor should definitely consider this beyond complete guide to the A+ as an introduction to information technology.My thanks to Pearson for providing me with access to a digital copy of this book.
Unfortunately, this book did not come with the necessary code for the Lab/Class Assignments.Had to make another purchase int he same week at the Campus Bookstore.
