My honest opinion of Cisco Networking for Dummies

What a fantastic book with a lot of detail, written in an easy, understandable everyday language. Surprisingly, book was very comprehensive: Covered information about routers, of course, but also switches, bridges and hubs. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is serious about getting a good grasp on Cisco networking.

Just the right book for us beginners

Like many others working in small businesses, I assumed the duty of overseeing our network, which has a Cisco router. I was totally lost and the cost (and technical level) of the training available was much too high. So, on the chance it could help me, I purchased this book. I must say that Mr. Gilster has the knack for writing about very technical information at a very non-technical way. Not that I understand all of what he's telling me, but I assume that in time, given more study, I'll soon be able to speak intelligently with our Cisco and network service technicians. Truly Great Job, Mr. Gilster and Thanks!

Cisco Networking for Dummies: Everything you wanted to know

I recently enrolled in a Internetworking class and was not impressed with some of the books available for someone new to this field. Some books had too much or not enough information. I happened to read a friends copy and decided to purchase one for myself. This book is perfect for those of us that are new to Cisco Internetworking and being introduced to the ever challenging Internetworking world. I like the way the information is presented in a straight, but humorous manner that keeps me going back for more. Although this book may not appeal to those that may already have the knowledge, this book is well suited for anyone wanting to start from the beginning as well as those that have aquired CCNA. Great book to use in combination with course recommended materials. Excellent!
