Reliable and Credible Resources

As an IT professional, you must remain current with changes in technology, including the dynamics of hardware and software and how they interact with each other.

A trusted network of resources helps you remain current. To build your network of resources, choose reputable and credible sites that provide unbiased and accurate information. Multiple sites expand your knowledge of technology and its capabilities. For example, a manufacturer site is credible and reliable for information related to that manufacturer's

products only. The same site may not be reliable for comparison information to other manufacturers.
