First Step to CCNA certification--CCENT:
As a first step toward achieving the CCNA, the new Cisco certification CCENT tests basics (using Cisco equipment)expected of entry-level technicians entering the networking field. The title of the book states exactly what is: SELF-STUDY GUIDE TO INTERCONNECTING CISCO NETWORK DEVICES, PART 1, ICND1. This is the second edition; no CD was included. Even though this text is for the new entry-level CCENT exam, I think the candidate should have a solid computer background coming into this. Any self-study... more info

McQuerry, begins by describing the principles on which basic networks operate. Then, the author explores the operation and configuration of LANs. The author also describes how to extend... more info
Another great one:
Can't wait for it to arrive, pre-ordered, and pumped-up, because I fully expect that it will be like all his other books; you know you are learning from a battle tested CCIE, (Steve probably built part of the actual intenet), and he still makes the time to write books on the "first-ever" exams for many people; and yet he does not talk down to you, or dumb it down, this is no book for dummies, apparently based on both the official courseware, and also fully covers all the official exam published objectives,... more info
