The Certified Computer Technician title–otherwise known as A+ Certification–is one way to document your technical skills for your résumé, and A+ Certification for Dummies is a painless way to prepare for the tests. It also serves as a wonderful primer for anyone who wants to learn more about computers.

The book begins with an introduction to basic electronics and to the numbering systems relevant to computer processing. This opening section also covers the tools and techniques you need to know when working on computers. Next, author Ron Gilster builds your hardware knowledge from the bottom up with chapters on motherboards, memory technology, disk and other storage options, bus structures, and power supplies. Discussions of input and output devices, I/O ports, printers, and basic networking follow.

Further on, the author explains how to work on computers, install new options, and implement upgrades. Gilster also discusses how to deal with customers–often a bigger challenge than diagnosing the hardware problem–and covers the DOS/Windows platform and diagnostic techniques.

An included CD contains study software and hundreds of practice questions. Whether you are preparing for the A+ exam or simply want to get a clue about how computers work, this title covers the basics well. –Stephen W. Plain –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

“an excellent overview of personal computer operations…was worth careful reading regardless of whether I take the test or not.” — Plainview Daily Herald, September 1, 2000 –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) A+ certification proves that you’re a capable hardware technician, capable of upgrading, troubleshooting, and fixing problems related to physical devices (such as memory chips and video cards) in Intel-compatible personal computers. A+ Certification for Dummies is designed to help you review for the two A+ exams–Core Hardware (220-201) and Operating System Technologies (220-202)–and it succeeds at that goal. It’s also worth reading if you’re not interested in A+ certification, but want to know enough to change out your own hard drives and install expansion cards without the help of a technician.

Ron Gilster teaches the subject–which encompasses good troubleshooting and repair practices as well as specific hardware facts–in a clear style that’s easy to follow as you work on an actual machine (and, by the way, work on actual machines is essential to passing the tests). The book foregoes photographs (which almost never turn out well, and rarely look like your equipment anyway) in favour of clear line drawings. There are some step-by-step procedures to follow, but Gilster mostly recognises that PC hardware varies a lot and leaves most specifics up to readers. One bit of advice: in the field, supplement this book with Scott Mueller’s definitive hardware encyclopedia, Upgrading and Repairing PCs. –David Wall

Topics covered: Intel-compatible personal computers, their essential subsystems (motherboard, RAM, processor, BIO S, video, disk storage, and others), and how to assemble, troubleshoot, and repair them. Operating system coverage focuses on Windows 95, 98, Me, and 2000.
