Counseling? Nah. I'll just convince any therapist that Linux is better and Microsoft will lose more business - which...may not be a half bad idea. Mostly, those that slink back to Windows usually aren't ready for the commitment of having to relearn all the muscle memory keystrokes and shortcuts...

Usually, a publisher will offer a promotional copy - this has been a go-to for me when I just needed a text to study. For me, however, that has been less and less. But then, while I call it a blessing to get free copies of texts, expecting it or even demanding it, to me is no good...

Why do you hate me so much, Brian? So, funny story that. Long ago, I had a lead of our now defunct Personal Training program who saw that we had an iMac in our department that was used to help our Computer students get acclimated to iOS. One day, he came in and told me how he wanted it on his...

Great work. Linux+ is a good thing to have under your belt!

So, I've been in IT for about 35 years. There's not much that I've not done with a computer, both above board and well...(yeah, I won't get into all that). But for the greatest part of my life, I've been using Windows. Like so many chained to Redmond, I started with Windows 2.0 and used every...

+3 on Eckert's materials. That dude's brain was programmed by Torvalds, I bet. LOL Linux for me has been elusive. I remember trying to get myself around to take the old RHCE back in the day (still have the book in near pristine condition). And since then, I keep telling myself, "this time...

Okay...do you not have the links to the content? They would be in the emails.

You, sir, are in need of prayer. And since I'm taking some ministerial classes these days, I think you need to stop by for a little chat, my friend:

Well done. /r

That would be a good question - I've never explored the Office Pro content, myself. I flirted a bit with the MOU certs before, but never got around to taking one.

I haven't looked into it, but perhaps some of the higher end AWS or Azure certs might help with some of that? I know Data is relatively new as a pathway, so that may have not matured well enough yet. Just spitballin' here, without a lot of info.

I don't think I'd be in a good frame of mind to take an exam at 0330. But I guess that's one benefit to OnVUE. I suspect they'll remain out there for folks who can use it. For me, it's a mindset thing - like when I walk into that test center, it's a frame of mind that says, "okay, Rick, time...

You mean, there are OTHER CERTS?!!? lol Lately, I've been working on Microsoft Azure stuff, since I've been doing a lot of work in Azure - just this week, I spun up a Managed Instance for SQL, stood up IIS, an NSG, and App Proxying - pretty straight forward, once I started learning what was...

And don't forget that if you miss a session, you can still catch it on the rewind by using the link that you get in your email. Those will link you back to each session in the series. /r

Well, if they need to hear from the community at large, I'm pretty sure folks like me and others can raise the volume up to a level that would make R. Lee Ermey, Sam Kinison, or just about every metal band in existence proud.

Wish I could be there. Maybe one of these years, I'll get out for a DefCon. Since we're talking conferences tho... any talk about getting Partner Summit back on the board? /r

It usually takes about 6-8 weeks for CompTIA to process the attendees lists and validate them, before putting the order in. /r

Well, I'm glad it's working for you. As for me, I won't trust it for myself. My biggest problem is the stories that I've heard about the lack of grace that happens. I'm sure it's not that way in every situation, but I won't roll the dice like that when it comes to a cert. And again, it's more...

This is the correct channel. If you connect with your Business Development Manager at CompTIA, if you're in the system as a partner, you can order all that stuff up for yourself. Of course, make sure to read the appropriate EULAs before playing. CIN's purpose is for instructors to connect...

Reminds me of the time that someone out there was stealing all the Train the Trainer videos and posting them on his YouTube channel...fun times.
