While we are at it can someone also help me by providing tips on how to prepare for COMPTIA Security + certification please?

I took the one offered by Johns Hopkins on coursera and didn't find it too useful for actually learning R. Maybe edX is better. Looking for suggestions from other members. Last edited: 22-Feb-17 10:47 AM

looser ,the comp tia is very basic certification , there are plenty of tools available online to learn about it.

Fd power thanks I have been watching Professor Messer videos on Youtube and reading Darril Gibson's book. I was wondering if there was any other tools that I am missing.

Do you have any IT background ? Also is the cert a requirement for a job or something you want get for your self ? If not a requirement I would not get it and replace it with some better certification instead. Only entry level jobs might require a compTIA . Even though I hate cisco , CCENT or CCNA would probably get you to better places. They do cover a lot of security stuff in the CCENT i believe, CCNA security is more geared towards security. I recommend a Linux certification more than a compTIA. Linux is very widely used and most of the security architecture are built around a linux kernel.

My job requires me to get it within the first 6 months.Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will start off with the Security + for now and will get CCNA down the road.

looser , if I may ask what kind of job is it ?

fdpower · Feb 22, 2017 2:24 PM

IT Specialist

Haha that doesn't mean anything at all .... what do you have to do ...is it internal IT environment or for customers. If so what kind of technology do you have to get into. Sorry to the R learning folks for hijacking the thread. I took a R class last year and I did not like it a bit. I think R won't stay around for that long anyways.

Datacamp.com may b good to learn R and Python. I have learnt couple of R courses on Datacamp.

I enrolled and in two weeks I lost interest. May be I will try agin.

MaGorkhe1 · Feb 22, 2017 10:28 PM

R is somewhat weird kind of programming, feels like mathematic equation and gets extremely boring. I tried it but could never get a grip . I quit after a week or so. SAS is interesting
