I have 10+ yrs experience in network engineering as well as building my own PCs since the mid 90's and was looking for books or software with just the basic exam topics for a refresher and exam prep. From what I have read on this and the A+ forum--as well as Amazon.com--Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Certification Passport, Third Edition and either the 3rd(674 pages) or 4th ed.(832 pages) of the A+ books are my best bet, but at 464 pages, still a little larger/longer than I was hoping for. Are there any other resource materials that are more concise than these--while still being accurate? I am guessing that transcender or measure up pre-tests would be good, but without a reference book, I might not have enough info to understand the more rarely discussed topics. thanks in advance for any tips/advice!
