CompTIA IT Fundamentals All-in-One Exam Guide (Exam FC0-U51)

This book is spot on. I started on the A + book, read up to chapter 12 then circled back around and bought this book. Then purchased the practice exam and video package. Took CompTIA test the and passed, on the first go round with a 92.4 %, The practice test are very similar to the real tests. There are some differences. The book does an excellent job of preparing you for the test and educating you for the real world of computing technology. The process took me about 4 weeks from beginning to end. I work about 50 hours a week and have a family so I was able to fit this into a very busy schedule. 55 years old and still learning. :)

I first found out about this series while watching Mike Meyers' A+ course on Lynda. His videos were very amusing but I thought I would be best served by easing my way into the infomation with the IT fundamentals book. I eagerly awaited its release and so far I have not been disappointed. The book explains the concepts easily and well. My only problem is that, as of now, the corresponding video series hasn't been released. If the IT fundamentals video series is as good as the A+ videos, it will be worth the wait. Having said that, the book is a standalone item; you don't need the videos to learn IT Fundamentals from the book.

Great guide, helpful tips, and comes with a software to practice with the exam.I would give it a 5 star but the first chapter and a couple of others had practice questions that did NOT coincide with the answers.It comes with question and answers review but there are some question and answers that did not match.

This book is a great introduction to personal computers. In an easy to read style, it covers all the basics for the average computer enthusiasts, or the first step for anyone aspiring to begin a career in IT. Its main focus is on Windows PC’s, but where appropriate, it does include a brief mention of Macs. The major operating systems are discussed, including Windows, Linux, Chrome, Mac, Android, iOS and Blackberry), as they apply to computers, networking, tablets, phablets and smart phones. There is also a length section on security and Malware followed by maintenance tips and trouble shooting you devices. I definitely learned a few things. I give the book five stars.

If you're looking for something to get you started in the IT field and you're a millennial with 0-15% experience, then this book is for you. It really gets into detail and it will not make you lost like most IT books. I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to get into the IT field.

This book is the perfect resource for studying for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals exam. I passed with flying colors! Thank you.

I opted for the ereader. It is very easy to read. Like the end of unit review tests and the test simulator is great. Wish there was a test phone app to continually take test questions.

Perfect book to learn most important basics required by the layman. Good questions and answers in each chapter also. Great author, organization and glossary. Read thru it twice now..

Good book but....If you're planning on buying this book to take advantage of the 10% off of exam fees that the book promises. Don't bother. The code is for the US only - which it doesn't specify on first glance.Otherwise the book is very informative, the authors advise to read the book twice before doing any exams and I have just finished my first pass.Despite it being a start at the basics book, I did find there were a few things that I didn't know, plus information on some Operating Systems that I had never used, so that was good.But I will have to rethink which Exam Voucher package to buy for this exam now that the 10% offer code is not going to work for me :(

Got this book to help me prep for the new beta FC0-U61. This book is well written and covers a good amount for the original FC0-U51 exam.The new exam goes a lot more into software and basic coding. None if that is covered in the book. As the new exam is out soon I would personally hold off buying this book. Wait for Meyers to make an update.

Great book... I am starting an IT career and this book really helped to understand fundamental concepts. I recommend....

I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far, it is really good.
