About Get Certified Get Ahead
Hello. I created this site as a reference for people that wanted to get certified and get ahead in their career. It started from my original CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead study guide for exam SY0-201 and it has grown from there.
If you want specific information on certifications or more information about Darril Gibson, check out the main Get Certified Get Ahead site or Darril Gibson’s main page.
If you’re using any of the books that I’ve written or helped others write, I would love to hear from you. I especially enjoy hearing from people that have successfully passed a certification exam after using one of my books. You can send me a note from here.
Best of luck in all of your adventures,
Darril Gibson
Hi Darril,
I’m very much a newbie to the Network and Cyber Security world – my professional background was law, then IT business, and now I finally ave a Cyber Security/compliance role. Ultimately, I want a technical career path where I end up a CyberSecurity Manager or a Cybercrime Forensics specialist. I want very much to gain the Security+ certification and have been studying using your book – I love the practice questions and concise, clear descriptions of the terms, but I have no hands-on Network experience. Should I start with A+ and Network+ to gain that understanding and then move onto the Security+ cert? Thanks for any advice.
Happy New Year. Sorry, but I don’t want to rush this. I’m curious. What is it that you value or like about the Kindle version?
A couple of reasons,
1. I move around quite a lot; so having an option to access and read it on my iPad kindle app is preferred over having to haul my books along with me.
2. I live in India at the moment; the cost for getting the book shipped here is pretty much close to the price of the book itself.
Hope that helps.
BTW – when is the kindle version version planned for release? Feb end?

Thanks. I expect it out sometime in February but don’t have a firm date.
Darril,
I hope you’ll get the kindle version of the 301 study guide fast tracked. Thanks much.

Just curious if you have a .pdf version (Adobe) version of your books “Security + SYO-301 Study Guide” and “Practice Test Questions” on CD ? This would be handy to study anyplace at anytime.
Hi Walter,
Sorry but no PDF versions are available for any of the books and to keep costs down, I have not done any CDs with the books. However, there are several other alternatives.

This book is also available for free via the Kindle Lending Library for Kindle Owners that have Amazon Prime. You can read about this program here: http://amzn.to/rXmMca
