Too basic
If you dont know anything about network but you dont need take important information about this in your working environment... buy it.
met expectations
good book, much like all the others, this one is actually 10 books in one (its pretty thick), I purchased for a quick review of networking. this book met that need, and went into more detail than i needed, such as specific instructions for configuring servers, etc. the last couple of chapters/books weren't applicable to me, so I didn't read them. Otherwise, this is a great book for getting up to speed on the terms and processes around networking, unless you are already a techie in which case it will probably be too basic. If you like the other dummies books, you'll like this one too.
Excellent Book!
This helped me learn a lot and have a grip on things in the avast world of networking, This is the perfect book for beginners and it will help anyone get started. This book touches on all the subjects and gives you a basic view of how everything works from internet protocol,wireless networking, to Linux to server 03, and so on so that you can determine what path you want to specialize in but it also gives you enough info to "get you by" on any hands on project or job that requires it. Those who complain about this not having enough info are not seeing the clearer picture because if this truly contained all in one material it would have to be between 3000 to 5000 pages long and this book is already a heavy weight at 800. This book really helped me put my foot on the door with a job at a data storage company, I was able to "get by" thanks to this book and I am on the road to learn more "ccna by todd lammle" So far that book is great too, had I not read this book first, the ccna 1000 page book would be impossible to understand.
Para principiantes... pero no tanto
Si bien estoy en el mundillo de las TI, por mucho tiempo mi contacto con las redes era prácticamente nulo, y los dos últimos años estuve más bien alejado de temas tecnológicos. Este año estoy enfrentándome a estos temas, y el impacto inicial es duro.
Este libro es un excelente comienzo para cada uno de los temas que trata, y a mi modo de ver cubre los principales. Siempre te va a dejar gusto a poco, y vas a tener que recurrir a lecturas adicionales o a Internet, pero su objetivo principal (después de todo está pensado para nosotros, los "Dummies") lo cumple a cabalidad: te permite entender los conceptos básicos, hacer o emprender algunas cosillas, y luego ya debes seguir tu camino. El libro es de lectura fácil, tiene algo de humor, y es muy directo.
Lo bueno: ES para Dummies. Es práctico, simple, directo, y es muy bueno como introducción a los temas.
Lo malo: Dado su objetivo, no le encuentro faltas, pero si tú no estás en este negocio, y no tienes manera de practicar de alguna forma lo que este libro trata de explicar... olvídalo.
Lo feo: Hubo momentos en que consideré que faltó un mejor apoyo gráfico, pero igual está bien.
Satisfied...
This book has a ton of information. Mostly for the beginner, but veterans in the trade may also benefit. I've only used the book as a reference, but I plan on reading cover to cover.
