Good work and easy to comprehend.
Becoming a successful network engineer takes several years and lots of hands-on. Getting started requires training and good sources of material to learn from. This book provides and excellent foundation to break into the world of networking and it's from a name you can trust - Mike Meyers.This book covers all the areas of networking from the hardware to the management. You be covering all the requirements of the A+ exam. While the book does talk about the net+ exam, I think you'll need more information and material to pass that exam. I like the pictures of the older network technologies like coax cabling, these areas give a visual learning tool. Also the quizzes and labs are very helpful, as I have already used several of them in my A+ classes. I was pleasantly surprised to see a section on the installation of Netware 6 and Windows 2000 Server; certainly a plus as not too many books like this cover that topic. I found the information to be technically accurate and I was able to pick up a couple of tips along the way. If you are looking for a good starting place than this may be the book for you. I can see this book in several classrooms as an added value to the networking course(s). Overall a good choice for the networking student.
