Hi friends,

       Recently I have joined coaching for Info tech. On going through the syllabus I doubt whether there is any need for this syllabus in our CA field???? I mean, the  portion is like Networking... now which CA need to have knowledge of what is Peer to peer or what is Router?? Also the portion related with Decision table is quite outdated.... the data in the books is limited to windows 98 and 2000, while we have reached the phase where we are using XP, Vista, windows 7 and mac....the syllabus has descripttion about VPN, ADSL and LAN,WAN and MAN... where today we have Broadband, 3G, wifi, wimax....... 

       Don't you think instead of all these we should have Tally , Excel, Access and some portion related to SAP, ERP softwares????
