I wonder if there's a brain surgery for dummies.

FWIW, I'm personally fond of the ...For Dummies books. I don't consider them cheat books; they're books that assume you have no foreknowledge of the topic or jargon you're wanting to learn about, and they teach them in a very approachable way so that you can get a leg up and actually understand regular books or seminars or whatever on the topic from there. I have home buying, home selling, and mortgages for dummies, photography for dummies, and I think Java for dummies. I like them. *shrug*

I know where you're coming from. But seriously, I don't like the idea of "dummy" books for job certification testing. If you don't know the terminology, the practices etc etc etc ... you've business trying to go for the cert.

I admit, I used the Linux for Dummies to refresh myself with it. But that doesn't mean I would put Linux Expert on a resume if I was going to a IT job.

That should read as "you have NO business trying to go for the cert."

Well, there's always this.
Although I'm of the mind that, if you need such a book, you shouldn't get any.

At the basics ... Insert Tab A into Slot B, C or D. Withdraw. Repeat as needed.
