Book Review: TCP/IP Foundations
Emmett Dulaney
One of the most common reasons why many people don’t look up the answer to a question is that they don’t want to have to wade through ream upon ream of text to find something miniscule. Rather than pulling a giant tome on networking off the shelf to find out why problems with a particular protocol may be occurring, they will turn to what is perceived to be an easier solution – asking someone else, posting a query, etc. Truth be told, the other solutions they turn to are rarely as reliable as the book they could have pulled from the shelf.
TCP/IP Foundations , like others in the “Foundations” series from Sybex, is based on the belief that readers can benefit from very small books that are concentrated on one particular topic. Many of the titles in the series, including this one, came from the JumpStart series of a few years back. I mention this because I was disappointed to find that the content had not been changed at all for this title since it was known by the other name.

Certification: Changes to the A+ Certification
Emmett Dulaney
A number of noteworthy changes have been announced to one of the most popular certifications currently in the IT industry: A+. So popular is this certification that there are currently more than 600,000 individuals certified worldwide. This entry-level, vendor-neutral certification is almost a necessity for anyone wanting to enter the field and work with hardware. Given the evolving nature of computer components, there is a need to update the exams for this certification every two to four years (the last update was in 2003), and there is nothing surprising about that. What is surprising, however, is the massive changes to the program that CompTIA has undertaken.
