I'm currently interning at a small computer repair shop and I'm preparing to retake my A+ 801. I missed it the first time by 20 points. I was talking to the older guy who works in the shop and we were talking about the future. Long story short, he was telling me it basically unless to learn about for windows computers because apple is taking over. How correct is he on this or is he just talking out of his ass?

Normally if you have a graphic design department they'll all be using MAC computers. Most of the top level Executives at companies use Apple products like iPad's and iPhones instead of a Windows PC. So there is a growing market for Apple products especially since Microsoft constantly shoots themselves in the foot releasing dud's like Windows 8.

Do this at least 30 mins per day the week leading up to your exam subnetting.net - Subnet Questions and Answers

At my peak studying for ICND1 my best was 14 questions in 5 mins @ 100%. The goal is to be able to answer any question thrown at you in under 30 seconds.. if you can do that you're gonna save yourself a lot of time on the exam allowing you more time for the simlets.

Victory laps :blessed:

You passed MCSA breh :lupe:

Everyone hates that shyt and damn near everyone skipped the chapter as it's basically nonexistent on the exam:lolbron: I feel like a sucker for learning it :snoop:

but it allowed me to skim through the v6 chapter in the msca study guide, so I guess it evens out :manny:

Being in the Software development sphere for quite a few years, certs haven't come up that often, unless you get into a specialized tool. If you wanna practice some type of web or software development on your own, you can come up with a small project or you can take a look at one of those code
challenge sites (such as code wars)
Well I started my career plan over, again :francis: I'm now dabbling in Software Development. Just started to look up certs but don't know which one my career falls into. Any help on how to get started, besides acquiring certs? I tried Web Development but lost interest in it after a while.

I'm 21(birthday is in 3 weeks :old:), no degree yet(a year away from my Associates), and possess no drive or motivation. My life is a big blur right now brehs. I just don't know what to do :mjcry:
