This is a deep-enough dive into the topics needed to sit down for the test with enough competence to be successful. I recommend keeping this or another reference on your shelf for when you hear a term you don't recognize in a meeting and need to go back and look it up.
I read this book three times cover to cover before taking my CASP exam, which I passed on my first attempt.
My first read, I read it just like any other book you would read through.
My second read, I read it very, very slowly... using a highlighter and identifying things that I felt were important on each page through all of the chapters.
My third read, I went through and skimmed the book very quickly, which is something I've never really done before.
The CASP was a very challenging exam for me, but as I said in my first sentence, I passed first time go and this was the only book I purchased prepping for the exam. One final note as well - the book has hands on labs at the end that I actually took the time to go through and they were very helpful when it came down to it as well.
Would highly recommend this book as an essential part of your journey towards passing the CASP.
Una buena guía para la certificación, aunque después de leer los anteriores considero que es muy repetitivo y hay varias cosas que ven de manera muy superficial
