Battle-scared field computer engineers, and Information Technology (IT) Trainers, designed this book, ExamInsight for A+ Certification. Rest assured, that while it is obviously quite different from the typical book you have seen, we had several reasons for any variation from the typical tech book.

First and foremost you cannot, we repeat cannot know it all. Relax, sit back and learn what is critical and pertinent, then build on that information step by step. Get those basics down and then grow with that information.

We strongly suggest that regardless of your experience level, read casually from this page forward to the end for the first time through.

One difference you will find is how text is bolded. The logic behind how this process was applied is to known as Reading at a Glance. Try it. Stop here, and go back and read just the bolded words. This system is known as Learning At a Glance

Notice that while some of the conversational tone disappears, logical facts stand out. In short, we embedded highlighting into the typeface. So, if you must highlight, feel free. And if you never learned how to properly use a highlighter, you can use this book to learn.

When cramming for the test, just review the bolded words.

We separate what portions of information are nice to know and are historical in nature, we also share real world tips. We know that learning from a book to pass a certification exam is far from all that you need to know to be functional in the real world.

Our philosophy continues by blending facts with humor and real-world lessons learned. This is expanded on next paragraph.
