just a little question ...?

luke05

right now i'm learning a+ certification and i wanna get a strong fundamentals in this filed
actually helpdesk is not my goal ,my really objective is information security but as i read ,it'snecessary for anyone who want
to enter in IT field to start with a+ , because that it's strange thing when you're a programmmer or developer even an ethical hacker but you don't know how computer works and how to repaire it when some problems occur ,so firstly you've to learn a+ cetification .
but when i started i found out that a+ is not enough to develope your self for example:
- when i learned about Ram and its types especially about dynamic ram ,they said in the book (dynamic refer to how bits are stored in a capacitor),in fact this is not enough to understand how bits really are stored ,and so that i search for what's a capacitor and how it works,
and definitely i found myself in other field that is electronics.
so what are your tips about this? i continue a+ then learn some electronics basics ,or cuz my passion is not about reapairing PCs just i complate a+, i move to another cert...?!

When they say learn how it works, they mean the hardware components of a computer and not how those components work in general for other things. You don't need to know how a capasitor or a transistor or a diode works to learn how to troubleshoot a bad hard drive or a bad video card or bad memory etc etc.
