This book is written in a way that helps you understand complex technical content and prepares you to apply that knowledge to real-world scenarios.

That is what this book offers you — key points to pass the exams combined with practical information to help you in the real world, which means that this book
can be used in more than one way:
✦ An exam preparation tool: Because my goal is to help you pass the A+ exams, this book is packed with exam-specific information. You should understand everything that is in this book before taking the exams, but to help identify key points that you must know, look for icons named For the Exam to help you prep for the A+ exams.
✦ A reference: Rely on my extensive experience in the IT industry not only to study for (and pass) the exams but also to help you perform common computer-related tasks on the job. I hope you find this book a useful tool that you can refer to time and time again in your career.
