Customer Rating: Summary: If you're looking for 1 book to cover it all, it's this! Comment: I'll keep this short and simple: this book has more than enough information to pass the Network+ exam. I agree with a prior reviewer that it was designed for mid-level IT people, but if you're already consider Network+ as a stepping stone to other network certifications, you should be comfortable with the terminology and setup of this book.
I used this as my main resource in 2006 and passed it with ease, and I expect the same for others. The practice tests were enough to test your knowledge as well. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Learning Tool Comment: I am about half way through this book, and it is really easy to read and learn the material you need to pass the exam. Customer Rating: Summary: Great information! Comment: I have gone to school for the last two and a half years. This book covers information in such a clear way that I have learned more from it than from the textbooks I have read and the IT classes I have taken.
Customer Rating: Summary: This is the one! Comment: Recently passed the Net+ exam and using this book alone , i ll have to say this is the one!
Customer Rating: Summary: Agree with "Dumb Guy." Comment: I'm a mid-40s, blue-collar type undergoing career change. I'm taking computer classes to prepare for A+, Network+, Server+, and Security+ certification testings. The writing was intended for those with a bachelor degree level of education/comprehension. I have ISBN 0782144314 by Mark Minasi, and his writing is easy to follow (and humorous to break monotony of study/memorize/regurgitate). Others in my Network class who are struggling agree with me that the writing format is for IT intermediate level (or above) students. I ordered ISBN 061921743X by Tamara Dean. Her approach/presentation is easy to follow along. I've shown the book to my instructor and he has agreed to go with this text next semester.
The Network+ Study Guide covers all the objectives on the CompTIA exam, including the features and functions of networking components, and ensuring that readers have the knowledge and skills needed to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols and services. It covers exam topics such as media and topologies, protocols and standards, network implementation, and network support, as well as new exam topics on technologies such as wireless networking and Ethernet.
