CompTIA Linux+ Study Material
Hello,
I've decided to start pursuing the CompTIA Linux+ certification. I've complied a study list based on what i'm seeing on TE, if i've missed anything please chime in.
The Linux Command Line-William Shotts
The Linux Command Line by William E. Shotts, Jr.
Linux Acadmey
https://linuxacademy.com/
I'm up in the air about which book would be best suited for the LX0-103 and LX0-104 exams. I see:
All In One Linux+
CompTIA Linux+/LPIC-1 Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Exams LX0-103 & LX0-104/101-400 & 102-400): Robb Tracy: 9780071841689: Amazon.com: Books
and the Linux+ Sybex book
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Linux-Powered-Professional-Institute/dp/1119021219/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438308951&sr=8-1&keywords=Linux%2B
Any advice on study material would be appreciated!

I used the 1st 2 resources you've listed. That was pretty much all I used.
Pricey, but I'd recommend Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification: Jason W. Eckert: 9781305107168: Amazon.com: Books or even the Linux Bible as your main study source, but not really necessary.
Edit: I forgot, I also blitzed through CBT Nuggets before going thru Linux Academy.Goals for 2018:
Certs: RHCSA, LFCS: Ubuntu, CNCF CKA, CNCF CKAD | AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect Pro, AWS Certified Security Specialist, GCP Professional Cloud Architect
Learn: Terraform, Kubernetes, Prometheus & Golang | Improve: Docker, Python Programming
To-do | In Progress | Completed -

I used all 4 of 101-102.......and more (CBT nuggets......Train Signal.......Linux in a nutshell)
Sybex is.....blah......I barely read it....matter of fact, I let my friend hold it for his exam......
Robb Tracy is cool....It gives you a logical approach to Linux overall, but the book is a pain to study with because it doesn't match up with the exam objectives straight through (Chapter 1 = 101.1 Chapter 2 = 102.1....etc)....It kinda goes all over the place
Linux Academy is real cool......I think once I get past 102 next week, I'll really have fun.....especially standing up a LAMP stack......
the William Shotts book is cool, but I think the real benefit in having that book comes AFTER you pass the test. I find myself not using it as much for studying.....its more of a reference book....Have it on the desk while you are configuring a server.
Knowing what I know now...I would start with Linux Academy and maybe Robb Tracy..maybe CBT.....and keep it like that..... -

Linux Academy alone will take care of it. Almost every candidate that goes through their program passes the exams.
