Summary: Good Guide
Review: This book is not an exam preparation book. It is helpful for anyone interested in obtaining a computer certification. It covers certifications at all levels of difficulty and all range of skills. This book was a great investment for me and am sure that almost anyone will find it helpful. There are certifications that I didn't even know existed and now thanks to this book I've earned a few of them and I'm pursuing yet a few more.

Summary: no longer current.
Review: This book, published in 1998 (during the height of the certification boom), is no longer current. Some of the certifications are no longer offered, still others have been discontinued. Still, it contains a lot of good information on the varied certifications available, and can jump start your thinking if you want to add a few lines to your resume.

Summary: Need direction in the industry? Buy this book!!!
Review: This isn't the first computer book I've purchased from Amazon.com, but it's my first review. I felt for the first time that I absolutely had to write my oppinion concerning what I've read. The quality of this book is amazing. And the knowledge you develop from chapter to chapter is invaluable. I'm relatively new to the computer industry, but I feel way ahead of the crowd now because of the knowledge and direction I've gained from reading this book. I've spoken to consultants that have multiple years of experience on me, and most aren't familiar with all of the certification's that are covered in this book. I'm no book worm, but I read this in 3 days. You won't be able to put it down. You will find direction and see more opportunity than you ever have in the great industry through reading this book. My advice, get ahead of the crowd and buy this book!

Summary: Meets the Requirements to be a Guide
Review: Well, it does what it claims.It describes the certifications available by vendor. Short, to the point descriptions, usually not longer than a page, for each certification. Format is basically: "XXX Corp Certification" Who needs it... Requirements for certification... Where to take the test... Cost of test... Format of test... And that's about all the info you'll get for each certification covered in this book. It includes info for (from inside cover) certifications from: Ascend, Adobe, Banyan, Bay Networks, Borland, Centura, Cisco, Compaq, CompTIA, CA, Corel, HP, IBM, Informix, Learning Tree, Lotus, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, Prosoft, SCO, Silicon Graphics, Sun, Sybase, USWeb, Xylan. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is really a cut-dry book, very to the basics and to the point book. Very dry so it's not interesting reading. But it'll give you the facts your looking for.
