| I want to get A+ and CCNA.
Which one should I pursue first?
Is A+ an natural progression to CCNA?
Suggestions? Web Sites?
Thanks,

| Depends on your experience, no experience you better start with A+ to Net+
and then CCNA.

Thanks for the advice!
Why Net+ ?
Do you live in Florida?
Noticed your email is Adelphia.
Thanks,

| Network+ gives you a foundation in networking basics that will be helpful in
studying for the CCNA. If you take the formal Cisco Networking Academy CCNA
course, the first semester is all about the basics. From there you move to
routing basics, routing in LANs, and routing in WANs.

| Up in Virginia....like JBS says, you really need to pickup the basics of
networking with Net+ unless you have alot of prior experience.

I've never really understood the idea of the "progression" from A+ to
Net+. There isn't much overlap, and not much real natural progression
either. Someone could become quite proficient at networking without
really knowing much about what's inside the box, couldn't they?
Whether it is a good idea may be another story...just tossing out an
idea.

| I think if your a good network tech you need to have some understanding of
the hardware side of the business, also I was making reference to experience
level of the user. I learned all my network stuff before taking A+, but I
also had years of experience fooling around with hardware. I've seen
network admins that when handed memory modules for CPQ Proliant servers
freak out on trying to install them.

| Tom, also if Jack is going to shoot for CCNA, he will be working with
hardware being CCNA is on the infrastructure side of this business.

| Hi All,
You are making me think more about what I should get next!
A+ looks like a natural progression to Net+.
I have glanced at the CCNA for Dummies book and it appears a little
intimidating to me even with some box building experience.
I have created my own home network(NIC Cards, Crossover Cables, Peripherals,
RAM Modules, Hard Drives, Burners, etc)
So now I am more confused but excited than before =0)
I like that it's ALL a learning process and should help no matter what!
Happy New Year,
Jack Barrett

| Jack....I think you will find Mike Meyers books sufficient study guides for
A+ and Net+...the CCNA I would look at Cisco Press and Sybex. The dummies
books in my opinion are not detailed enough....Best of Luck.

| I agree in that.
There are a lot of good books, but "the dummies" are not included there.
Don't buy them unless you consider yourself to be a dummie.
