Thanks Notes_Bloke.

Is this book the latest? Also do i really need the 2nd book or this will do?

Thanks

Ok i understand now real world scenarios, ye that would be good so it is worth buying.

 

Yes it is the 7th edition, which is the latest (released Feb 2010).

For starters, I'd get the Mike Meyers All in One book and watch the online Professor Messer videos.

Then, see how confident you feel with the A+ questions, and if you feel you could do with more practical examples, buy the Street Smarts book.

Hi again NB, where can i get hold of the above?

Thanks

 

The Professer Messer videos are watchable here, and the book is available from Amazon - here.

The Sybex book by Todd Lammle certainly covers all you need to know for N+.

 

Hi David

I have only just signed up to this forum today and this is the first post I read I don’t know why.
I’m glad I did, after reading what your wrote I am amazed at the similarities between us, I am 22 I have a level 3 ICT qualification and a GNVQ in IT, I too am dyslexic and find it hard to talk about or even admit to. I too also hate my job with a passion,

About a month ago I wanted to make a change so I have been pursuing a career in IT I’ve been looking at what qualifications I can do and how to do them, I have also been looking for a new job as I work as a floor manager at McDonalds and I have to say it’s the worst job in the world, I earn 12500 a year and yesterday I had a private breakdown.

Our toilet system blocked so, me and the store manager went to the basement to attempt to clear the pipes, we wedged the cover off a millimeter and water was gushing out like a tap on max but we could not get the cover fully off. He walked back upstairs to get some more equipment, I was standing there holding a screw driver between the cover and the pipe keeping the tiny gap open, at this point I was a little wet from sewage water but I could contain myself. Then the side of the cover facing me opened like a door and sewage water came gushing at an unbelievable rate into my face covering me within 3 or 4 seconds, after the 500 liters of stinking sewage water had gone all over the basement floor terds floating and scattered on the floor, I being the dirtiest on had to clean it up, at this point I had a breakdown, what had my life become, working at McDonalds for £6.50 an hour clearing up human crap and piss being covered in it from head to toe.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this embarrassing shameful story with everyone just better to get it off my chest.
