A+ Certification Preparation

[DarkBlade2117]

Being a Freshman, I have a few things I want to minor in. I have wanted to be a Opthamologist for 6 years now but.. My minor is a whole new story. A few ideas os Coding or ComputerScience, Computer Engineering, or Electronic Engineering. Oh, also if it was not obvious, I take all college classes expect math which I was recommended to take Geometry and Algebra 2 before going to College Algebra.

Well.. A few of the degrees I am looking at involve A+ or/and Java. I am taking C# Next semester but A+ is something I have no knowledge of. C# and Java are suppose to be/are similar to each other. Simple.. Whatmis A+ and what ismit specfically for? Thanks.

Never even heard of A+ lol

 

Heres some info I just looked up:

 

A+ is a powerful and efficient programming language. It is freely available under the GNU General Public License. It embodies a rich set of functions and operators, a modern graphical user interface with many widgets and automatic synchronization of widgets and variables, asynchronous execution of functions associated with variables and events, dynamic loading of user compiled subroutines, and many other features. Execution is by a rather efficient interpreter. A+ was created at Morgan Stanley. Primarily used in a computationally-intensive business environment, many critical applications written in A+ have withstood the demands of real world developers over many years. Written in an interpreted language, A+ applications tend to be portable.

A+ test your general knowledge of how computer works from hardware to software side of things. It includes pictures of what a part is say SATA port, and tells you to identify that part. The test may seem easy, but there are some questions where most newer techies will probably never experience like IRQ conflicts and assign addresses.

One of their question is which IRQ does sound card uses?

IRQ 2

IRQ 15

IRQ 5

IRQ 1

There are other A+ Certifications such as networking.

WCCF has a deal on it doe for $59

Here is the link that goes with the quote in Agazed's post.

 

I've heard of the A+ certification but this the first time I'm hearing about the A+ programming language. Based on how you phrased the original post, I'm assuming you want the programming language and not the IT cert but you might want to clear that up just to make sure.

Ahh yeah confused me. It is almost exactly what Numlock said, a two semester class and the first one is hardware, 2nd one is software.

Anyone curious to see how well you do, here is the A+ exam.

I took the A+ cert tests back in June, it wasn't too bad but you better know a lot of networking and printers.

I will be taking the class first. The first part of the class is hardware, 2nd is software networking ect. I also have to fit in my Highschool required classes. I know I will be taking English, History, Science for sure. That leaves 1-2 classes. Will eather be Intro to Java, A+ or P.E.

I took a class as well, through BOCES during highschool if you know what that is.
