I am using this book for a college credit. The option to be able to read it online is awsome. All my tests are open book but it has been a challenge to find the material quickly but with the reading of the material online, this is no longer a problem. As for the material, it flows very well and has covered a strong base of the material I am supposed to learn. The writter interjects his own thoughts to help you understand the more complex ideas.
Basic and thorough

This is a very complete overview of networking in general. The authors have done a very good job of describing needed networking principles in laymen's language. It is focused on the beginner and has a liitle bit of a Novell bent to it but after reading this anyone should be able to hold their own in a networking type of conversation. This is definatlely going on a permanent spot on the book shelf so that at the very least I can translate my own geek-speak to something humanly meaningfull.
Introduction to Networking: Its all in the title
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This is a great intro to networking. It is well formatted and presents the subject at just the right pace for someone getting to know what networking is all about. As a reader and technical writer who is beyond the introductory stages, I found it a compelling piece of work because of the way the authors were able to discreetly frame topics without blurring the big picture. The book makes a for a good read at the intro level but also at an advanced level if you are searching for a coherent way to deliver information to people without your skill set.
Excellent Primer

I am currently undergoing CNE and MCSE training at a technical school. I had no knowledge or experience with Networks prior to reading this book. However, this no nonsense, just the facts introduction to Networking helped me to glide right through my first three months of training. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has no prior knowledge of Networks but would like to learn quickly.
