那么，IT专业人员“必须”具备哪些认证?

如果这还不能引起轰动的话!这对所有程序员或DBA类型的人都不是小意思——这篇文章和其他一些博客将涵盖我认为IT专业人士应该拥有的课程和证书(将所有关于实际经验的讨论排除在本文之外——我将在其他博客中讨论这个主题)。但是，你有一个IT领域的新人，你想给他们一些建议，关于他们应该首先参加什么课程和获得什么证书?同学们，有什么猜想吗?是的，你穿着黑色t恤，手里拿着露珠，你有什么建议吗?“嗯——A+和Net+怎么样?””“好建议!——于是它开始了“我同意Mt Dew先生。”如果有人是IT领域的新人，我的意思是全新的，那么他们应该参加A+和Network+课程和认证考试。这些课程将帮助他们为进一步的进步做好准备。你不能指望一个正在改变职业的人或者一个刚从高中毕业的人对计算机和网络是如何工作的有很扎实的理解。有太多的背景知识需要吸收——就像我们在这一领域中很容易知道的那样。 Having taught numerous A+ and network+ classes over the years with new people on them – I can attest that you really must do a fantastic job in order for the information to be conveyed in easy to digest chunks and give it time to assimilate. Pointing out what the different components of a computer and how they work is straight forward – now toss in a side dish of IRQs and a helping of wiring and you have completed the smorgasbord of IT knowledge for the newbie. Once our erstwhile IT Pros pass their A+ tests, it is off to Network+. What a great way of learning how networks function from the ground up – the different networking equipment, protocols etc – until they meet subnetting. If there is one subject that causes more heartache for our newest members it is subnetting. Either they understand and can configure a class-C subnet or they don’t – there is rarely anything in-between with subnetting. Now that our newest members have successfully passed A+ and Network+ - it is off to a job someplace where they can use their new skill sets and develop new ones. Hopefully they are given a chance to grow and learn new things and want to move into other areas of the IT Field – such as becoming a Network Administrator, Enterprise Administrator or a Security guru - given time. So – I believe that the first step should be with the A+ and Network+ as it gives the grounding required, without overwhelming the student.
