Just purchased the Security + Get Started Get Ahead. Look forward to diving into it and getting started. Would folks also recommended the Comptia Exam Cram book too?

Actually I just saw on Amazon that their are couple different Comptia Exam Cram books for Security +. Any particular one you suggest would be helpful?

Seriously dude? Not everyone shares your opinion and this comptia-trolling has to stop
I would say Darrils book is good, whether or not it is all you need is entirely up to you. There are some post around here that have stated that you COULD pass with only this book. I personally will probably be using this, google searches, my notes, a Preplogic final review guide (it was 1$) and transcender for the exam.
Good for you knwminus. We get it, you have a hard-on for CompTIA. Too bad your in the minority on this.
kasie, have you seen that Security+ is no longer a lifetime certification?
@Steve:Actually Steve it is really getting old. I don't see Knwminus being blunt like that very often. I'm sure he is not trying to be a jerk. Just randomly popping into threads and slamming CompTIA is not going to make you any friends, in no ways helps this person (or anyone else), and detracts from your cause. I'm not trying to slam you here, I just think you need to slow down and think a little before you post.
kasiechaos: Good choice in a CompTIA Security+ book! I wish his book had been around when I was selecting Security+ books
The Security+ ExamCram book is a good choice. I used it as my primary study after I finished the exhaustive (in more than one way
That's all I trying to convey.
Yeah I have heard about that, but you have to take the test and pass before you can worry about renewing. Cant renew what I dont have.

Very true (about me being in the minority on this, not having a hard on
That said don't purposefully go out and try to discourage someone else from getting something that (despite it not being lifetime) will help them. That isn't cool and it isn't deserved. Like I said in the other forum, so what if they change it. Get more certs or renew them, the choice is yours.
Don't worry about that stuff man. Just do what you have to do, go balls to the walls and do what you have to do. S+ is still worth something just don't put all of you eggs into a comptia basket. I'd say no more than 3-4 of those bad boys and then move on. IMO A+, N+, S+, Linux+, and maybe (in certain situations ) Server+ are still worth something.
BTW, I am a male.

@Steve dude you have to deal with it, whether you like it or not. If you don't want take test don't take it. Comptia doesn't force you to do it. It's your call.
Y.T.
Well good for you!
Fixed. Sorry Mr Man guy sir

got mine too in 5 days from the states!
gonna plan my exam for may as i'm doing two modules for an open university degree as well
so it'll slot nicely into a 'light' month there
opened and scanned it so far and mr G, its a fine looking book
hoping it will help me pass as i'm looking to take the SCCP late this/early next year too
apparantly Comptia have changed their stance on their certification as well
in that if you are a current +cert holder it stays a lifetime one
and if you're studying and pass this year then its again a lifetime one
but from 01/01/2011 the certs change to having a 3yr lifespan before re-certing
check out a certain authors blogspot for further info

CompTIA Certification Renewal Policy
It looks like anyone that has, or will earn, a CompTia A+, Security+, or Network+ this year (2010) will maintain the cert for life. So I guess I'm missing all the CompTia-bashing? It sounds like they listened to everyone's complaints and changed their policy?
