Networking All-in-One For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

An excellent overview of networking fundamentals and implementation details. There is solid foundational material and surprisingly thorough information at a technical level. Although you won't be qualified for a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification when you are done reading the manual, you will have received nearly the same level of training as an introductory technical college course on the topic. I intentionally purchased the 8th edition rather than the 9th because it is significantly longer (1056 pages versus 960) and I could not easily tell any advantage with the newer edition. That is, other than being 150 pages lighter than its predecessor. If you have an interest in this topic and do not want to spend the money and time for technical training, this represents a superb investment.

Terrific work. Such a great reference.

Easy, walked me through everything I needed to know.

It only occasionally requires me to need t reread. There is enough repetition to enable you to pick it up as you read.Great book.

They aren't kidding when they said it's all the books. It's thicc and heavy. Has some humorous worded information on the pages. So far I love the movie references in the cyber security section. It is easy to read and great detail. Is some of it out dated, yea but it nothing that too detrimental. Will it help with your certifications? Yes.

Good overview of the different facets of networking and reference.

The book is very easy to understand. The author explains things very well.A great book for beginners, or anyone wanting to brush up on their knowledge.

This is exactly the info I wanted but the thickness of the physical book is a problem. It would be better in individual books, spiral bound.
