A Good Text Book for Computer Science & Engineering Students
Network is boring. But this book seems to be the first one that explains tedious network acronyms with easy language, combines fundamental theory with practical programming applications: telephone, telecommunications, TCP/IP, wireless, optical, switching, management, performance, security, and network programming.
The mixture of Linux and Window platforms also fit well with the project-oriented approach. Lots and lots of figures and examples definitely help, too.
This is also the first computer/network book with a curriculum sponsored by the NSF. (Forgive me if I am wrong);
Complaint? Well, still, network is still boring, at least compared to rock-'n'-roll.

A good book for both hands-on experiences and knowledge.
The book illustrates the fundamental theory and the state of art technologies in network and communication area. The most attractive is that it provides thoughtfully designed laboratory projects which are very useful to get hands-on experiences. The step by step instructions and trouble-shooting for the projects are extremely helpful for both beginners and experienced readers. What to be learned from this book can be utilized in a real world environment easily.
