CCNA Study Guide Rip Off!:
There seems to be a lot of sales hype in the form of apparent 'customers' recommending this with testimonials, but I've found the materials are incomplete and loaded with errors; the testimonials are obviously bogus! Then comes the added insult of trying to communicate, but Mr. Lammle refuses to try to correct his materials, or even discuss this; no, he has 'banned' criticism! Beware!
Good enough to be a school text:
Which, for me, it was. I used this book as a text in a routing class, and wanting to get certified later, I decided to buy it. Highly recommended.
Great read for CCNA:
Great for anyone looking to become CCNA certified. Todd is a proven author in the IT field.
A great overview:
This book has consistently been one of the most accessible overviews of the CCNA material. I have been using these books since the 3rd edition and I have yet to be disappointed. Although the book may not go into as much depth as some of the other books on the market, it presents the ideas in a very clear language. If you are looking to get a good idea of how IP networks are put together and a basic introduciton to configuring cisco routers, this book will be a huge help.
