This was a good read, not a great one. My concern was more with the practical part of the certification. There was a chapter that discussed this, but would have liked a more. I find it to be a usefull resource eitherway.
Good Book

Very good book. A lot of history of certification, why certain things are required, etc., and a rundown of what is required at certain levels. It also talks about how to prepare for the test. I would like there to be more specific preparation material, but overall it's good to read if you are preparing for certification.
