For newbies to Networking - 2006-04-25
Reviewer Rating:
If you are brand new to the world of network administration this is the book for you. It covers everything IN DEPTH, and will give you enough knowledge to function as a Junior Network Admin. It will give you the answers to questions most other books will not. This book is more of a text book for Network Administration as well as a cert guide. For those who are looking for a more "refresher book" or have been in the field for awhile, I recommend something that gets more down to the necessities of the test. I found this book a long read and since I have been in the Networking field for well over 4 years I switched to the Sybex 4th. edition. I still use this book as a reference book for things I don't understand and for real life issues.

Excellent Preparation - 2007-10-02
Reviewer Rating:
I am multi-certified and also teach networking technology. This book is a very good introduction to networking and very well organized and reasoned. It does have a few typos, but I have never seen a technical book that did not (and I am a technical editor as well).

This book is good prep for the exam. If you are a very experienced and trained IT pro (with perhaps two or three years under your belt) there are better choices, but if you are trying to enter the field with only home computing skills or desktop skills you cant go wrong with this book.

Excellent self study resource - 2007-08-20
Reviewer Rating:
This book, combined with Network+ 2005 Q&A, was my primary resource for Network+ certification prep. Prior to picking up this book, my knowledge of networking was virtually zero. Upon completion of this book, I was able to passed the Network+ certification exam first time out. This book is not an easy read, but contains all the information you will need to know to achieve certification. I recommend it highly.

An enjoyable and thorough read - 2007-12-18
Reviewer Rating:
I used this book as one of my study resources for the Network+ certification exam. To be honest, I didn't do much studying from this text, I just read through it to get an overview of the subject matter, before getting into a more rigorous study routine.

Whether you are planning on taking the certification exam or not, this book is a fantastic read with all kinds of useful information on IT and Telecommunications Networking. Because it is intended to be a study guide, it is also laid out very well and gives enough depth to be interesting but is not overbearing.

If you are a home-enthusiast or a network professional, this book servers as a great desktop reference, and also looks pretty sweet wedged between all your other IT books. Trust me on this one.
