Hi all,
Just looking for some guidance here, basically I want to check if I need to get any more exam prep materials to pass SY0-201? I already have the Sybex book (std edition) and the Transcender software. I tacked the exam about 2 years ago and failed and want to pass this time.What do you recommend?

Cheers.

PS - I am unable to order the paperback version of Darrils book as I live in Ireland plus I dont own a Kindle.

    Amazon offer the kindle player for your PC for free.
    I don't claim to be an expert, but I sure would like to become one someday.

    Sorry, I do not know how it works. I do know that you can purchase the kindle version of the book for 9.99 and download the player for free. Have you purchased the book?

    Did it install a desktop icon? You should just be able to click the icon to open the reader. I use Kindle for PC and like it so far.

    Simplest thing to do if an application isn't starting after an install.....


    Yup, you guessed it, reboot. icon_lol.gif

    After that, if that doesn't work, you'll have to start using some A+ skills. icon_cool.gif

    Yea, It should just work even if you dont have a book purchased yet. I'm using the PC kindle version and it works fine. I dont know if it has some kind of zone restriction though. It could be part of the problem since you are not able to order the book.

    Yes I was thinking that too, can you recommend another good source of material apart from this? Im using the sybex book and transcender software.

    I used just the Sybex book and Labsim and found that to be enough.
