Andy,
Your book caught my eye at the library-- I just started reading it and am really enjoying it-- Once you mentioned this site, I wanted to check it out and ask you this-
I have no tech background-- that's to say programming, web design, etc. However, for a long time I've been looking for a career, and would like one in computers. I've been told to get an A+ certification, and I've been told not to. I saw a lot of certifications on "about.com", but wasn't sure if any of those would be over my head as a beginner.
Is A+ something I should consider? If not, is there another certification you could recommend... or maybe another completely different approach to finding a tech/computer career? I apologize if this question is a little vague or doesn't make sense. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks for your help =)
