Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK
Comment: I finished the first CCNA class with the new 3.0 curriculum. It was a nightmare. Nearly every student was failing because they made the mistake of reading the book. We soon figured out that the book was useless in preparation for the academy tests. Cisco was "worki8ng the bugs out". One of the complaints I had was Cisco-last semester- would take one sentence from the book and have it on the test. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. If you are in the Cisco Academy, spend the money on ink and paper and print out the online curriculum, which by the way, is totally different than the book-more focused to the test objectives. The first few weeks of the new curriculum found several hundred students at my school near failing because of "the bugs".

Summary: Do not buy this book!!!
Comment: I cannot believe Cisco Press even allowed this book to be printed. The community college I attend started using this book in August for their Cisco classes and even though I am fairly new to networking, I know enough to recognize obvious errors when I read them. At this point in the semester we have covered the first five chapters of the book and we have discovered numerous, and I do mean numerous errors. In addition to the errors, the book just goes into to much detail. This amount of detail is not a bad thing but if you are trying to focus on the exam objectives it is not necessary. If someone didnt know better and used this book to begin their networking education they are going to be very overwhelmed by the amount of detail presented in each chapter and misinformed on various concepts and technologies. I have looked through the Sybex CCNA book and found that it is much more accurate and easier to follow.

Comment: I ordered this title through Borders in P.R., I waited 12 weeks for it to get it, and I need to make a full review before starting with this new version at our Cisco Regional Academy, just because it's very important to see how it matches the curriculum, searching for errors...and I found from the beginning more than 32 pertaining the section of optics...it really dissapoints me to recommend this for my students, just because is not a good starting point to learn concepts or descriptions with those mistakes...I am actually teaching this at the Aspira Cisco Academy in P.R., I think it was to fast to develop this new version and its not the first time I found such things, I got a lot of titles with the same problems, instead of those books that are not fully revised, when thinking from the point of view of the people who are making a large investments in their educational preparation to keep them up to date, that's why I like to review them before any...recomendation.
