1) Paperback Book A Guide to Designing and Implementing Local and Wide Area Networks by Course Technology. I was required to use this book (2nd edition) for a class at American Sentinel University. The book is dated but still has useful information. It covers all major areas of networking briefly. I found the book to be a bit boring but I am sure it will be a decent reference book. Unless you have to buy this book for school I would recommend skipping it. I am giving this book three stars because it has useful information and lots of hands on activities. Two plus years ago it would be 4.5 stars. I really like the Thomson Course Technology books but this one is just too dated.¤ 2) Paperback Book A Guide to Designing and Implementing Local and Wide Area Networks by Course Technology. This book has been a big delusion. Of course it depends on what I was looking for.
The book teaches network concepts from the basis and it doesn´t cover more advanced topics.
I already learnt many concepts presented in the book from internet tutorials or from other books (Tanenbaum). I think this book would have been useful to me two years ago. The only innovative chapter that tought me better how to "Design And Implement Networks" is "Lan/Wan/Lan Connection". Almost all other chapters are introductory explanations of existing protocols and technologies. I find the title misleading.
Well explained. A good book to start from but insufficient as a second read.¤ 3) Paperback Book A Guide to Designing and Implementing Local and Wide Area Networks by Course Technology. Although outdated in some areas (minimal) this book is great! We use it for our Networking Essentials class. One of the advantages of this book is that is is cross-platform. The terms apply to networks and technologies irrelevant of the vendor or operating system. The case studies and the projects provide a great opportunity for developing hands on experience in each of the chapters. I highly recommend this book since it complements very well the Cisco Academy Semesters 1-2 Book!!¤ 4) Paperback Book A Guide to Designing and Implementing Local and Wide Area Networks by Course Technology. Great book and explains all elements of LAN and WANs fully. Good diagrams to illustrate network topography. Authors have done great work putting together such a great book. Highly recommended.¤ 5) Paperback Book A Guide to Designing and Implementing Local and Wide Area Networks by Course Technology. Offers a unique approach to learning about network design, by providing both the theories behind networks and a practical, hands-on method for putting those theories to work.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
