As the back of the book says, “This book begins where certification exams leave off…”. I’ve just stepped off my first real Network Engineering contract job, and is still studying for that elusive CCNA. I have been a Sys Admin for over ten years and I must say – the World of Networks is the “true” IT. I’ve had a Network + cert for almost a decade, but I was NOT prepared for some of the things required on the real job arena. Some engineers that worked with me didn’t yet have their CCNA either, but they knew their stuff.
If you are studying for a CCNA certification yourself, you have to ask yourself one question – are studying to pass a test, or do you want to learn something? If you want to learn, get a Network Engineering job, or go to a GOOD school. If you want to pass a test, then read the book(s), and study the practice exams. There’s no short cuts around either road. This book, by Gary Donahue, promises to bridge that missing link between the classroom and the server room. I haven’t read all of it of course (I just got it today), but I had breezed through a digital copy of the book before I actually bought a physical copy from Amazon. This book is 1.25 inches thick and comes with a 45-Day access to the digital version from Safari. However, there just is no comparison between a solid book you can hold in your hands and a digital book. A REAL book is something you can mark with notes and highlights – that’s how you can truly own a book.
But I also live in a small apartment in New York City, so shelve space is also an issue. Plus digital books make great reference materials, searches take seconds. It’s a balance, there is no panacea for all situations.
My order from Amazon.com came in TWO days, and I only chose the FREE Super Saver Shipping option, so I didn’t even pay extra. Only the New York sales tax (Arrgh!). I’m very happy with my purchase, and is very pleased with the U.S. government for building the internet for Amazon.com to do business in. I’m giving this book FOUR stars, because there is not even a single mention of “ROLLOVER cable” in it. Yes, I am deliberately being picky.

I like this book, but I found it was weak on the contents of routing, it seems that the author’s knowledge limited for routing, the reader will be easily confused for this part. I recommend “routing tcp/ip” for routing.
