and make it look cooler than everybody else's. In either case, this is the ideal book for
you.

In this book, a team of renowned web designers take you through the ins and outs of putting

A+ Certification Training Kit

A+ Certification Training Kit

The A+ Certification program was created by a consortium of companies, including Microsoft,
to define baseline knowledge and skill levels for IT professionals who support hardware and
software based on the Intel(r) platform. With the A+ CERTIFICATION TRAINING KIT, Second Edition, Microsoft applies its popular, competency-based learning format to A+
Certification test preparation. Entry-level IT professionals, computer service technicians,
and other computer science track students can use the kit to build real-world expertise
with systems hardware and operating systems-as they prepare for the corresponding skill
areas of the A+ exam. The kit is modular and self-paced, with hands-on, skill-building
exercises. The entire course is featured on CD-ROM for easy searches and reference.
At times much like an enjoyable lecture from a professor who tends to ramble at times,
Microsoft's A+ Certification Training is an excellent starting place for beginners looking
to fathom the mysteries of their PCs. But the free-and-easy writing style of this book also
makes it slightly more difficult to study for the test; because the book touches on all
topics lightly, it might not prepare one for what lies ahead on the final exam.
The good news is that the book is engagingly written, using a conversational style that
makes it an easy read. (As easy as certification books get, anyway.) The reader is eased
gently into the PC with a historical introduction to the computer, including discussions on
the abacus, the Babbage engine, and eventually UNIVAC I--then, the book moves up to showing pictures of common PC accessories, like mice and scanners. As an A+ student's introductory
guidebook to the world of PCs, there isn't a better text available.

The book rapidly becomes more complex--as it must--diving into the PC's inner components
and showing them bit by bit. (Kindly excuse the pun.) The basic concepts on the A+ exam are
presented clearly with somewhat chatty writing and lots of pictures, so it should be a snap
to get the A+ essentials down...but the organization of the book is the stumbling block. As
stated earlier, it rambles.
For example, "Supplying Power to a Computer" is covered early on, in Chapter 5, and the
reader is advised to start opening up and looking at computers, but "The Basics of
Electrical Energy" isn't covered until Chapter 13. It's likely that the novice electrician
would feel lost at times. Likewise, CPUs are covered in Chapter 4--but motherboards, where
CPUs sit, aren't covered until Chapter 6, and the expansion buses that peripherals use to
talk to CPUs don't get covered until four chapters after that. If one reads the book all
the way through, all will be made clear eventually, but there will probably be times when
the reader will want to flip ahead or scan back.
The information, however, is solid, although not the most up-to-date necessarily. (But
then, with new CPUs coming out every week nowadays, what hardware book is?) The essential
PC operations are covered nicely, and the explanations are sometimes dense, but generally
understandable.

The explanations, however, lead us to the final, and most serious, problem with the A+
Training Guide: It's not a test preparation book.
It's an introduction.

The A+ Training Guide covers pretty much everything one would want to know about basic
repairing and upgrading, but it doesn't provide the critical focus necessary for the exam.
Without knowing which areas tend to be the "hot spots" on the A+ exam, the reader could
spend a lot of time studying, say, monitor repair, and completely ignore the frequently
tested CPU model comparisons section. Furthermore, the test questions at the end of each
chapter are essay-style, not the multiple-choice questions that will appear on the A+ exam.
The questions are designed to test one's knowledge, and they will--still, they probably
won't help when it comes to narrowing down one choice out of three reasonable-sounding
answers. In short, the guide goes over everything that's essential to know, but it doesn't
stress one part over another--which increases study time and could make the reader fail the
exam.

What this book is is an extremely good, well-written guide for the student looking to get a
comprehensive overview--and, to that purpose, it does its job well. As a beginner's
introduction to the premises that are necessary to know for the A+ exam, this comes highly
recommended. But if the main goal is to get that certification on a resume, the reader
probably will want to start out with this, and then move on to a book that tells
specifically what can be expected on the exam. --William Steinmetz link

AVIEN Malware Defense Guide for the Enterprise

AVIEN Malware Defense Guide for the Enterprise Syngress

Members of AVIEN (the Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network) have been setting agendas in malware management for several years: they led the way on generic filtering at the gateway,
and in the sharing of information about new threats at a speed that even anti-virus
companies were hard-pressed to match. AVIEN members represent the best-protected large
organizations in the world, and millions of users. When they talk, security vendors listen:
so should you. AVIENs sister organization AVIEWS is an invaluable meeting ground between the security vendors and researchers who know most about malicious code and anti-malware
technology, and the top security administrators of AVIEN who use those technologies in real life.

This new book uniquely combines the knowledge of these two groups of experts. Anyone who is
responsible for the security of business information systems should be aware of this major
addition to security literature.* Customer Power takes up the theme of the sometimes stormy relationship between the antivirus industry and its customers, and tries to dispel some common myths.
It then considers the roles of the independent researcher, the vendor-employed specialist, and the corporate security specialist.* Stalkers on Your Desktop considers the thorny issue of malware nomenclature and then takes a brief historical look at how we got here, before expanding on some of the malware-related problems we face today.* A Tangled Web discusses threats and countermeasures in the context of the World Wide Web.* Big Bad Bots tackles bots and botnets, arguably Public Cyber-Enemy Number One.* Crème de la CyberCrime takes readers into the underworld of old-school virus writing, criminal business models, and predicting future malware hotspots.

* Defense in Depth takes a broad look at DiD in the enterprise, and looks at some specific
tools and technologies.

* Perilous Outsorcery offers sound advice on how to avoid the perils and pitfalls of
outsourcing, incorporating a few horrible examples of how not to do it.

* Education in Education offers some insights into user education from an educationalists
perspective, and looks at various aspects of security in schools and other educational
establishments.

* DIY Malware Analysis is a hands-on, hands-dirty approach to security management,
considering malware analysis and forensics techniques and tools.

* Antivirus Evaluation & Testing continues the D-I-Y theme, discussing at length some of
the thorny issues around the evaluation and testing of antimalware software

.* AVIEN & AVIEWS: the Future looks at future developments in AVIEN and AVIEWS.link

Adding Ajax O'Reilly Media,

Ajax can bring many advantages to an existing web application without forcing you to redo
the whole thing. This book explains how you can add Ajax to enhance, rather than replace,
the way your application works. For instance, if you have a traditional web application
based on submitting a form to update a table, you can enhance it by adding the capability
to update the table with changes to the form fields, without actually having to submit the
form. That's just one example.

Adding Ajax is for those of you more interested in extending existing applications than in
creating Rich Internet Applications (RIA). You already know the "business-side" of
applications-web forms, server-side driven pages, and static content-and now you want to
make your web pages livelier, more fun, and much more interactive. This book:
Provides an overview of Ajax technologies, and the importance of developing a strategy for
changing your site before you sit down to code Explains the heart and soul of Ajax: how to work with the XMLHttpRequest object Introduces and demonstrates several important Ajax libraries, including Prototype, script.aculo.us, rico, Mochikit Explores the interactive element that is Ajax, including how to work with events and event handlers that work across browsers Introduces the concept of web page as space, and covers three popular approaches to
managing web space Explains how to make data updates, including adding new data, deleting, and making updates, all from within a single page Describes the effects Ajax has on the Web-breaking the back button, losing browser history, dynamic effects that disappear when the page is refreshed, and more Covers advanced CSS effects, including drag and drop "scroll bars", pagination, and the use of SVG and the Canvas object Explores mashups-Ajax's ability to combine data from different web services in any number of ways, directly in our web pages You don't need to start over to use Ajax. You can simply add to what you already have. This
book explains how. link
