Excellent introduction to the essentials, 2009-01-27
Reviewer rating:
I've been an application developer and architect for several years and lack of in-depth knowledge about TCP/IP networking has always limited my effectiveness. I bought this book with the goal of gaining a decent foundational knowledge of TCP/IP networking. I can honestly say that this book fulfilled that goal. It is a very good introduction to all the core and closely related technologies that encompass the TCP/IP networking stack. The book covers things like firewalling, DNS, and other critical topics that are a must-know in today's networked world. It does a great job of introducing the core essential information on each topic but does not get carried away with a myriad of non-essential details. The topic of the book is very technical and thus the book is as well, so if you already have a technical background and want to add a good working knowledge of TCP/IP then this book is for you. If you are not a computer techie already, then you might want to look at more basic networking books instead.
Computer libraries catering to advanced learners need this, 2008-11-10
Reviewer rating:
In just 24 hour lessons of an hour or less you can discover the workings of TCP/IP in this step-by-step lesson plan which builds a stepping stone of achievement. Instructions guide through many common tasks while the introductions to TCP/IP protocols are precise, well organized and key to understanding the shortcuts and solutions that streamline operations and avoid common problems. Computer libraries catering to advanced learners need this.
