Summary: Excellent introduction for beginners or untrained techs
Comment: Very good book for beginners and professionals with spotty formal training for the following reasons:

-it uses a special Q&A format, where questions are asked and then answered from the simplest to the complex all in sequential, relational order. The author explains many tough concepts using analogies, whereas most books tend to be lists of facts. This makes it especially friendly to non-experts, or jr. administrators. No unexplained acronyms here.

-one of the authors has 25 years of networking experience and it shows in his statements, since he shares angles and opinions one would truly value from someone with his experience. To me this makes it especially worthy buying. There are way too many guides compiled by certification mill graduates.

- there is a enough detail to make this an excellent supplement to, say, those studying for Network+ certification who actually want to learn something rather than just test. They cover the important subjects like TCP-IP and the OSI model with at more than enough detail.

Negative points:

- expensive and does not contain any supplemntal CD-ROM

- I wish the obviously very experienced authors would have added about 100 more pages of in-depth material. I would buy "Advanced Networking Explained" if it ever comes out.

Summary: Networking Explained
Comment: This book is a must both for the novice as well as for the seasoned technician. While the new-comer with little subject- knowledge will find even difficult themes well explained, Networking Explained is a very good resource for the professional. It brings technical matters to the point. The question / answer-mode used in the book is an interesting approach to transfer rather difficult knowledge. A must for persons dealing with networks, and certainly worth its money.

Summary: Excellent book for entry & intermediate levels
Comment: I've worked at various high-tech Internet companies like: Nortel Networks, Intel, Cisco Systems, and Inktomi. I am also an instructor and this book is one of the suggested readings for my class "Introduction to the Internet & Data Networking."

The authors' style of Question & Answer development is very helpful for both learning and teaching of entry level and intermediate level users in the networking arenas. The background information on the development of the Internet and many various internetworking technologies are explained in great detail in this book.

If you enjoy talking about the Internet and internetworking, I believe this book is great one to have in your collection.
