Product Description
Knowing how to install, configure, and troubleshoot a computer network is a highly marketable and exciting skill. This book first introduces the fundamental building blocks that form a modern network, such as protocols, topologies, hardware, and network operating systems. It then provides in-depth coverage of the most important concepts in contemporary networking, such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, wireless transmission, and security. After reading the book and completing the end-of-chapter exercises, you will be prepared to select the best network design, hardware, and software for your environment. You will also have the skills to build a network from scratch and maintain, upgrade, and troubleshoot an existing network. Finally, you will be well prepared to pass CompTIA's (the Computing Technology Industry Association's) Network+ certification exam. This book explains concepts logically and in a clear, approachable style. In addition, concepts are reinforced by real-world examples of networking issues from a professional's standpoint. Each chapter opens with an On the Job story from a network engineer. These real-world examples, along with Hands-on Projects and Case Projects in each chapter, make this book a practical learning tool. The numerous tables and illustrations, along with the glossaries, appendices, and study questions make the book a valuable reference for any networking professional

 Confusing book July 6, 2010

This text book is required for my Networking concept class. I find that this book is really hard to read and understand. A lot of the time, I find myself rereading certain paragraphs or sentences to try to figure out what the author is trying to say. It's time consuming and frustrating because I have to read 2 chapters of this book per week together with other books for other courses that I'm taking.
 Textbook Review July 2, 2010

I ordered this textbook for a college course that I am taking at Metropolitan Community College here in Omaha, NE. This textbook is well written. But, seriously, I am using it for a class, not something I would purchase on a 'just-because' basis. I was more impressed with the customer service for this order. The story goes a little something like this: I had originally ordered this textbook from one of Amazon's many vendors. The vendor ran out of this textbook and decided to send me the previous edition of Network+. As soon as I received the original shipment, I opened it and made the discovery. I immediately called Customer Service. The agent on the phone was EXCEPTIONAL!! She immediately offered to send me a replacement, which I told her was great, but I needed the textbook the next day because that's when my class began. The customer service agent suggested we ship it "Next Day". I'm thinking great, but I don't want to pay for the extra cost. The agent then let me know that Amazon would absorb that cost. Talk about a winning experience!

I ordered this book around May 15, still haven't received it as of June 24. I've been trying to contact the seller to no avail. Even though I only paid 7.00 for it, I want my dough back.

The book is very self explanatory, the CD that comes with it, helps test your knowledge and what you have read. If something is very VIP, for those people looking to become network + certified, the book will have a N+ next to the paragraph in question, letting the person know that inf. there is vip to pass the N+ certification. I believe there is a newer version that just came out a year ago, but if you don't want to spend that much money, this version covers 80% of items in the new book.
Book in excellent condition; quick shipping May 22, 2010

Ordered this book for a college networking course. It came quickly and in like-new condition! The price was right. Will buy from this merchant again. The book is easy to understand and an excellent resource for beginner networking students.
