It all depends, how much do you really love computers and technology? Do you get a stiffy when you find some new cool proggie, or a fast piece of equipment? How long do you want to stay in it, are you a geek at heart, or are you here for the cash, if your here for cash go to a bootcamp, and fake your way along, if you are a bit nut, read, read, play, read, experiment, beg borrow, and steal for a new router to learn the system.

It is a wonderfull life, you will get exploited by recruiters, and cheap shop owners, but the core of it is the technology.

Get the books if yo are going to take classes you will need them anyway, if you dont you will have the information close either way you cant lose
