# Reference Materials Intake
|
|
|
|
Drop Core 2 reference files into this folder:
|
|
|
|
`/home/kenpatmonk/comptia-a-plus-core2/reference-materials/`
|
|
|
|
Supported or likely usable formats:
|
|
- PDF
|
|
- EPUB
|
|
- HTML
|
|
- TXT
|
|
- Markdown
|
|
- Images/screenshots
|
|
- Unknown formats, after inspection with `file`
|
|
|
|
## How References Will Be Used
|
|
|
|
Reference materials are used to improve:
|
|
- Small study sections
|
|
- Memory tricks
|
|
- Windows and Linux labs
|
|
- Post-section quizzes
|
|
- Wrong-answer explanations
|
|
- HTML objective status mind map
|
|
|
|
Reference materials are not copied directly into study notes. Notes should be original summaries, explanations, examples, labs, and quiz questions.
|
|
|
|
## Intake Steps
|
|
|
|
When new files are added:
|
|
1. List filenames.
|
|
2. Run `file` on unknown formats.
|
|
3. Extract readable text from PDFs/EPUBs when possible.
|
|
4. Identify which Core 2 objective topics the material covers.
|
|
5. Update `REFERENCE_INDEX.md`.
|
|
6. Update lessons, labs, quizzes, and `mind-maps/core2-status.html` as needed.
|
|
|
|
## User Notes
|
|
|
|
The user does not personally have a Mac, but can sometimes use a friend's Mac.
|
|
|
|
For macOS material:
|
|
- Include real Mac labs when the objective is exam-relevant.
|
|
- Include Windows/Linux comparison notes so progress is not blocked when the Mac is unavailable.
|
|
- Keep macOS labs safe and read-only unless a change is explicitly part of the lab.
