CompTIA Network+ Deluxe Study Guide: Exam N10-004 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is very readable. The author's personal touch makes it more enjoyable. This makes going through a dry subject easier. A special strength for this book is when it deals with subnetting in much detail. There is one chapter and an appendix on this subject.
The annoying part is all the typos, misstatements, and wrong answers. The text has a few wrong answers, but the practice exams and flashcards on the CD have numerous wrong answers (about 13) along with all the typos. The book and accompanying materials should have been proof-read before being published. Because of this, I would rate this book below average. The cool thing about all this is that the majority of the text material taught me what was wrong in those conflicting areas. I'd prefer a guide book that's more reliable, though.

CCENT: Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician Study Guide: ICND1 (Exam 640-822) (Exam 640-822 With CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used Todd Lammle's books for several certification exams and I can attest to this book as another notch in that process. I passed my CCENT exam today with a 925 and I could not have done it without this book.
The other book that I used was Ciscos CCENT/CCNA ICND1 book written by Wendell Odem. This book and the free CD that comes with it closely resemble what the exam entails.
With that said, why buy Todd Lammle's book? Easy. Todd explains the Cisco concepts, theory, in understandable terms that you walk away with knowledge and not scratching you head saying, huh?
Now that I have taken a Cisco exam I know what to look for. I have both Todd Lammle's CCNA book and the Cisco CCENT\CCNA ICND2 for the second part of the certification exam.
Transcender was a waste of money in preparing for this exam. The free CD that comes with the Cisco Book has the Boson testing format and it was very helpful in taking the exam.

MCTS Windows 7 Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-680 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having read the other reviews I was quite surprised to find that that this book does not delve deeply enough into the details, especially in the non-GUI commands, to be adequate preparation for the current exam. It mentions some key concepts only briefly while leaving others out entirely, it tends to introduce concepts generally rather than specifically, and it fails to explain how these concepts are intended to be used in a live environment, and provides little or no insight into troubleshooting procedures. In the past this would have been sufficient for the exam but current certification exams rely very heavily on the application of understanding rather than on rote memorization of facts. Something else that was particularly troublesome was how this book tends to uses the self-tests and chapter reviews to introduce new material which is not elaborated on in the text, and in some instances the 'correct' answer on these quizzes is wrong (for example, there is no Windows 7 Business edition, yet that is the correct answer in one of the self tests).
I found other books (the Microsoft self-paced guide for example) to be much more thorough in this regard, covering everything that I encountered in the live exam in sufficient detail to pass without difficulty, as well as (and more importantly) imparting a solid understanding of how to effectively use the various functions, tools, and utilities included in Windows 7 in a live production environment. When this book provides detail it is generally well presented, but because it leaves out too many important aspects of Windows 7, many of which I encountered on the exam, I could not recommend it to anyone as the sole source of information to prepare for the exam.

CompTIA Network+ Review Guide: (Exam: N10-004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I studied this book and did the review questions at the end of each chapter, along with the flashcards and practice exams on the CD. I consistently got 85-90% on the practice exams in two weeks. I then ordered Lammle's Study guide as I wanted something more in depth. After three more weeks of study, I passed the exam with a score of 845.
I am not an IT guy by trade, but I am considering it. This review guide was a good starting point for me to learn what the exam entailed. If you are an IT person, then this may be all you need to pass the test. I wanted a little more knowledge since I don't get that as an IT person would on the job.

CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator Study Guide (Exam PW0-100) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm using this book as reference material in a wireless LAN course I'm teaching at a local college. I started out using the official CWNA study guide but I like this one better and have switched to it for the following reasons:
1. It is more up to date.
2. It has lots fewer typo errors.
3. The CD adds value to the book.
4. I like the end of chapter multiple choice questions (and the answers are in the book).
5. The authors explain concepts in a clear and concise manner.
I wish the authors could have done more with Security. But security is such a complex topic, it really needs a book of its own and one or two chapters in any book is not enough to really cover this topic.
The students like this book and actually like it better than the books selected by the previous instructor. All in all I think it's a great value. If you want to learn the basics of wireless networking, get this book and a wireless access point and wireless adapter card for your computer and go for it.
