I&#8217;ve also studied <a href=\"http:\/\/www.professormesser.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professor Messer&#8217;s<\/a> A+ material and have passed the first exam (1001) for the A+ certification.  After passing that, I decided to skip ahead to the Security+ instead of spending time on the 2nd (1002) half of the A+ certification.  That may have been a mistake, I don&#8217;t know.  Either way, I have enjoyed the journey and hope to work in the Information Security field someday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am studying Python as well.
