ok thanks im about to get that book now. Do you feel the certmaster program was needed? that price is crazy so I just signed up for the free trial for now. Im a systems admin right now with a A+ and MCSA server 2012 cert. Studying for the MCSE Server 2012 since @bdizzle recommended I do since it covers a lot of AD info. After I get my 5 years experience Im going for that CISSP
If anyone needs any info on MCSA2012 study material/tips let me know

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
Include some Windows hosts as well. You can probably find a Windows 7/10 ISO on torrent sites. Just make sure you don't install any of the security updates so you can test vulnerabilities easier

The only reason I got the certmaster program is because it was bundled with the exam voucher AND retake voucher. I don't think it's worth the standalone price. All it does is quiz you on the exam objectives. It's helpful but you could probably do without it as long as you can find some practice exams to test yourself. The practice tests in the Gibson book are solid.
This dudes tutorials are pretty good for Java
This book Head First Java explains all the basic concepts of Java pretty easily (You can probably find a better version of the pdf on google)

The following book is probably over kill for a MIS major
