CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Cert Guide (Certification Guide) 1st Edition

I was interested in learning about networking, but not really planning to take the test.It turns out that this is an excellent book.There are three things I like:1. A full chapter on command line2. Efficiently organized to make the book small & compact(For many other books, new contents are added up like a "patch work" after each edition,eventually causing contents to be scattered over many places and repeated)3. Good tempo, by skipping common-sense stuff and focusing more on technical contents.I am not sure how well this book prepares the Comptia Network+ test,but this book is excellent for self-studying textbook.(Much better than college textbooks on "computer network", which only covers endless list of protocols)

My friend is an IT Manager with my employer suggested I study this specific book and get certification. I have started but not finished. I am learning a lot. I also purchased book for A+ certification. I truly recommend this book. If your just starting to be IT department, buy both and get certification. There are more such as Security.

The codes didn't work for me either, but I called the publisher up who let me know that they had made a printing error. The codes in the booklet are actually correct but they switched them around, meaning the code under the simulator software should be entered into the prep test and the code under prep test should be the one entered under simulator software.

I found this book to be a useful resource but one that focused a bit too much on “teaching to the test” at the expense of teaching moments. Case in point, the book devotes six pages to discussing command line options for traceroute/tracert but never stops to explain how a traceroute actually works, i.e., incrementing TTL/Hop Limit fields and ICMP Time Exceeded replies. I may not be the real target audience for this book (existing IT Profssional rather than a newcomer), but even so, it seems to me that this would be useful knowledge to share.All in all, the book is a useful resource, particularly with included the video/test prep add-ons from the webpage, and I would highly recommend it, with tha caveat that it should be the starting point for aspiring network administrators, not an authoritative reference.P.S., I did have the issue with swapped codes, noted in other reviews; kudos to the publisher for the prompt replies to affected customers.

This book was a serious God send. Its immensely thorough with the information and it goes over everything in a detailed fashion but a common speak manner. I'm getting ready to take my exam soon and I'm nervous but with this this book I feel good.

Great book, very pleased with his approach. Lots of extras added for practice. I feel confident that I will be successful passing the test. Will be buying other books in the future. Thanks!

Excellent examples, easy to read, good end-of-chapter quizzes and great real-world use case stories featured at the end of every chapter to bring into context some of the materials covered. All certification books should follow this template.

This book was exactly what I needed for my class this semester. It came with no damages, everything was in the book & it’s an easy read...if you don’t mind reading. Recommended if needed.
