I wouldn't say Network+ is easier than A+. Most students find it more difficult because they are new to networking and network technologies in general (i.e., few students would have heard of a VLAN prior to a Network+ class, but most students would have heard of many of the Windows and...

The problem here is in your logic - you would never combine both incremental and differential backups in a backup set. You use one or the other. If you want faster backups, do a Full backup Sundays, with incremental backups Monday-Saturday. If you want faster restores, do a Full backup Sundays...

I think Datasys+ could definitely fill a nice certification gap in database courses now that Microsoft has retired their SQL certifications.

Congrats! While I did mine a while back, there's nothing wrong with leaving it to the last minute. Voucher expiry is an excellent and effective motivator :)

I'm somewhat disappointed that the A+_coding wasn't called A++ ?

I can verify that my students (and students in other campuses of my college) who continue to take remote exams with Pearson very frequently have the same negative experience with rude and overreaching online proctors. Consequently, we've formally noted to our student body that "we recommend...

Capstone projects are more common in developer-focused programs (e.g., comp sci) as they allow students to work on a complete app that combines the tools and frameworks covered in multiple prerequisite courses, but over a long period of time. And employers want to see grads that have worked on...

Yes :)

The attack vector was a malicious PDF attachment that was targeted to LTT via spear phishing. It stole the session cookies from the browser and sent them to the attacker's server, so the email with the PDF attachment was clearly opened from within the browser (Linus mentioned it was the LTT...

This one wasn't too difficult at all (I didn't prepare at all for it beyond what we did in the TTT and prior teaching experience).

I'm certainly no technical juggernaut by any stretch of the imagination (it took me about 30 min) :sneaky:
