    This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
    1 - An introduction to databases involves understanding their role in storing, organizing, and managing data. Databases are structured collections of data that enable efficient retrieval, insertion, updating, and deletion of information. They serve as the foundation for various applications, from simple contact lists to complex enterprise systems. Key concepts include tables, which organize data into rows and columns; relationships, which define connections between tables; and SQL (Structured Query Language), used to interact with databases by querying and manipulating data. 
    2 - Operating systems (OS) are like the conductors of a digital orchestra, managing hardware resources, providing a user interface, and running applications. They handle tasks like memory management, process scheduling, and file management, ensuring smooth operation of a device. Different OS types, like Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile OS like iOS and Android, cater to various devices and user needs. Understanding their role helps appreciate how our devices function seamlessly.

    This is a breakdown of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2.

    Although the main focus is on implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications such as the ISC2 CGRC.

    Do you want to learn all the knowledge you’ll need to know to maintain, design, and implement your own functional networks? 
    Do you want to understand how to troubleshoot your network problems? 
    Then this is the guide for you! 
    In this 3rd installment of the CompTIA Network+ guides, we’ll be bringing all of the knowledge you gained from the first two full circle and tie everything together for you. Furthermore, we’ll take some of the subjects that we haven’t quite explored entirely and go in even more depth. 
    By the end of this book, you’ll be able to walk into any test and pass it with flying colors. 
    If you want to be able to confidently not only say that you passed the CompTIA Network+ certification exam, but that you are a true IT professional, then this is the right series for you.
