Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a review for the CompTIA Security+ Cert Guide.
I am a trainer/course developer for a technical school and am in charge of developing a new Security+ course to begin in 2011. I reviewed this and several other books (along with other study materials) to use in the course.
This is a very nicely laid out book. The organization is exactly what I need to base my course around. The book starts small with basic subjects, and progressively builds on them.
Doesn't waste time, gets to the core of Security+ objectives quickly. But, there are also real-word examples, plus hands-on labs and videos. There are lots of questions which are an excellent prep for the actual CompTIA Security+ test. Two practice exams are at the end of the book, with a third on the disc. The disc also has videos that compliment the hands-on labs. Great glossary and index. Plus there are extras for instructors like me that can be downloaded for free. This book made it very easy for me to design my course, whereas I was struggling with other books, trying to match them up to our schedule and timeframe.
I always recommend a second (and perhaps even a third) test preparation source. It's always good to get two viewpoints when studying for an exam.
Accordingly, I plan to use this book along with the Security+ Exam Cram for the course. I use Mr. Prowse's materials for the A+ course as well, and Mr. Harwood's guides for the Net+. They all work very well together, and allow for the student to progress quickly from course to course.
While I am using this book for a technical class, it would work very well for the person who is studying on their own also. I highly recommend it.
