This Book is full of great information, breakdown of the various modules, and provided a great study sheet to go over. I strongly recommend having an understanding of the concept/modules as this book will assume that you have an idea on what this certification is asking for. You will have great references, but do not expect to be taught something that you do not know.
It's a good book, and is a good start. I'd get another book to study for the 201 test. There aren't many practice tests out yet for the 201, so it was pretty difficult taking the test with just this book. I *DID* pass, but just barely. REALLY study the cryptography stuff. A lot. A REALLY lot.
