Video Instruction: A certified instructor introduces every learning module and previews the topics that are covered. Rather than relying on written introductions, click on the video presentations for an interesting summary of the concepts you will be learning from an instructor that really knows the material.
Animations: Animations & illustrative graphics combine to explain complex topics and tasks. Concepts that are not easily explained, are clearly presented using TestOut multimedia elements. Everyone has their own learning style, and by using a variety of multimedia learning exercises, CourseSimTM helps you learn in the way you are most comfortable.
Fact Sheets: These facts sheets present useful tables and supplemental information to help you review key concepts and to round off the topics covered in the section.
Instructional Graphics: A picture can speak a thousand words. Difficult concepts are presented in animated or graphical form.
Technical Glossary: Not familiar with a technical term you find in the course? You have instant access to hundreds of technical terms & definitions, all in a searchable database with the technical glossary. There are hundreds of new terms associated with information technology, and the CourseSim glossary helps you learn their meanings in a quick and efficient manner.
Bookmarks: Need to exit your training for a while? You can quickly reference areas of study you wish to revisit at a later time using bookmarks. If there is a particular topic that you need to pay special attention to, simply use the bookmark feature so you can spend the time you need to master the concept.
Notepad: Record notes or questions for later reference with the useful notepad feature. If you need to remind yourself of something while studying, click on the notepad and type your thoughts without ever having to lift a pencil.
** LabSim Learning Resources **
Demonstrations: Demonstrations are designed to teach students how to perform certain tasks. They are powerful instructional tools when combined with open simulations
Animations: Animations & illustrative graphics combine to explain complex topics and tasks. Concepts that are not easily explained, are clearly presented using TestOut multimedia elements. Everyone has their own learning style, and by using a variety of multimedia learning exercises, CourseSimTM helps you learn in the way you are most comfortable.
Real-world Scenarios: These scenarios require you to think through a difficult problem. They are designed to improve troubleshooting skills
Intelligent Simulations: Open simulations are critical to the learning process. They model a real system and let students perform the same tasks they would perform on the real system. Open simulations let students explore alternate solutions for completing a task, and view the consequences of specific actions. Students learn through trial and error instead of being guided through specific steps.
Detailed Reporting: While you are attempting to perform the assigned tasks our simulations are watching what you do. Once you click the done button, a report is generated which identifies which of the critical tasks you completed and which you did not.
Explanation and Expert Steps: If you need additional help accomplishing the tasks our expert steps can help. These explanations walk you through steps to accomplish the task - based on the advice of our technical experts.

The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide: Programmer’s and Developers Exams
Publisher Sybex Inc
ISBN 0782128254
Release Date 14 September 2000
Newly revised and updated for Java 2 standards, the second edition of The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide is packed with information on what you’ll need to know to pass both the Sun Java Programmer and Developer Exams. With Java certification becoming ever more popular, this title is an essential resource for anyone who’s preparing for it.
The cover of the book asserts that one of its team authors actually contributes questions to Sun’s tests.
The goal here isn’t so much to beat the testmakers (although the book has plenty to say about test-taking strategy) as it is to master the finer points of Java that you’ll need to understand to succeed on the exam. The focus is on the areas that Sun has defined as important. The Programmer Exam–the first level of Sun certification–is covered first. Basic language features are reviewed, such as access specifiers, operators, and other keywords that will help make you an expert. (Some sections explain with great clarity the mysteries of Java’s “extra” shift operator and other features.) Other chapters cover threads and multithreading strategies, as well as user-interface design with layout managers (which Sun considers important).
The second half of the volume concentrates on the Developer Exam, a more free-form exercise in which programmers write custom code, based on a specification from Sun. Two case studies, one for a room-scheduling application and another for a trouble-ticket system that tracks requests for technical support, illustrate this test. As the solution is presented, you’ll learn how to build custom client/server software, and how to use Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and other advanced techniques. There’s also advice for the best programming styles and choices for passing this challenging exam.
As in the previous edition, each chapter in this book concludes with sample questions (about 10 each) to help you study. In the new edition, there’s now a full sample Programmer Exam (both printed and on the accompanying CD-ROM), which simulates the length and format of the real thing. In all, the new edition of this previously bestselling title will continue to provide helpful preparation for anyone who seeks Sun certification.
Despite the bulk (over 900 pages), this book actually makes for quick reading, and will help anyone decipher some of the more difficult aspects of the Java programming language. –Richard Dragan

Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition
Publisher Sybex Inc
Author(s) Toby Skandier
ISBN 0782144063
Release Date 14 April 2005
The Network Study Guide explains all you need to know about computer networking to pass CompTIA’s Network exam. The book covers the fundamentals of local area networks (LANs), the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) network model, and network operating systems (including NetWare, Windows NT, and to a lesser degree Unix variants). Readers will find considerable coverage of the TCP/IP protocol suite, including some of the utility programs used to configure it locally and remotely. There’s also a lot of “softer” material about the duties of a network administrator, good troubleshooting practices, and the issues involved in network security. Organized to match CompTIA’s stated objectives for the Network exam, this guide will prepare you for that test as well as Microsoft’s Networking Essentials exam (70-058).
The presentation style is dense with prose, and tables are inserted where there are options or variations to memorize. More and larger conceptual diagrams would make this book better, since networking concepts are sometimes hard to grasp. There are quite a few stepped procedures though–most of them geared toward networked Windows machines. Each chapter concludes with a selection of multiple-choice review questions, the answers to which appear–without discussion, unfortunately–in an appendix. Additional questions appear in a drill program on the companion CD-ROM. –David Wall
