I'm Mike Meyers - and I like Techexams.net

Hi-

My name's Mike Meyers. I write a number of CompTIA training books for McGraw-Hill and I've been lurking techexams.net for years. It's a great place for an author to get a sense for how people feel about my work as well as a great place for industry info. It's good to hear when I'm doing something right but it's important to hear constructive criticism as well.

I guess after taking so much from this site I feel I kinda owe it to Johan/et al to give back a bit. Can't say I'll be on too often but I will visit when something big happens on the CompTIA front. I'll also gladly respond to anything anyone asks me.

The best place for breaking news from me is on twitter (username: desweds). I don't post too often but when I do it's usually important.

Mike

Welcome Mike!

Our very own celebrity

I used your books for A+ and Net+. I liked your books very much and still have them today, but thought about half the questions on the CompTIA exams were from left field and a terrible misrepresentation of of what I learned in my experience and study.

it's my third favorite mike myers! (1 and 2 being michael myers from halloween and mike myers of waynes world/austin powers fame)

I watched the a+ video series years ago in college. I think if you weren't such a colorful and excited person I would have slept throuh that whole class, lol. Welcome mike!

I used your books and an old computer to do A+. I also used your book and a router to do N+. They were very good titles.

Welcome Aboard Mike,

Your one of my favorite authors. I have used your books quite a bit in my studies.

Great to have you here Mike! Reading your Network + book was the one glimmer of hope I had while toiling away doing data entry as a temp.

I guess that this wouldn't be a welcome since you've been lurking for awhile...but welcome anyway.

I have like so many others used your A+ and Net+ books to great satisfaction.

What a pleasant surprise!

Welcome Mike

Loved your books for years, recommend them all the time and still buy them to review them for newer Comptia users. Glad to have you here! And thank you for stopping in and officially saying 'hi'

Mr. Meyers,

Good to have you here.

Hopefully McGraw-Hill will get you more involved in the Passport series. Some of those books were less than the quality I'd expect with your name on them.

"All the time" is an understatement; she should get some commission

Welcome to the forums!

Hey Mike, welcome to the forums ('un'-incognito). I've read more than one of your books, and I've beaten. . . 'talked' many of my friends into reading them as well.

Well...I've encourage my 'friends' to buy the books and driven them to the store so they could

just kidding

I will keep my first edition A-I-O book and have given away the other copies while retaining the newest one. Just don't have the shelf space in the library for all the versions.

Thanks for the plug dynamik...it's good material, and real tough to beat it, especially the A+ stuff, always been real thorough and lead the way for over a decade.

Okay wrong Mike but the fact remains.

Your input will just make an already great site even better! welcome.

Was kinda skeptical at first, but saw your Facebook page and realized it really was you.

Great to have you aboard Mike!

I purchased your new A+ book a week ago and starting it soon. I Heard it was great.

Welcome, and thanks for coming out of the shadows!

This will probably be the longest "welcome" thread ever.

More importantly though did you bring the Fembots with you?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to TE!

That's pretty cool to have an author of some of the books recommended here at TE.

motogpman

Welcome to TE Mike. I have used your books in the past, hopefully you keep writing. Your name pops up in many circles when it comes to Certifications and training material.

What are your plans for future writings?
