1) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. i like this book
but amazon sucks,
i think amazon is not good and fair to me.
amazon would not let me sell my book back that is not fair to me!¤ 2) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. This is/was the required textbook for a class on TCP/IP I am taking. At the moment, I am only about half way through, and can only give my estimation of it up to the half-way point.
Overall, the book is very good, breaking a vast subject into manageable chapters. The first chapter is kind of a history and overview of the OSI seven layer model. My primary complaint, however, is reserved for chapter two.
Subnetting and supernetting are presented well in concept, but the algorithms (process steps) presented, the binary math and logical operations (and, or, not, complement) are woefully muddled. This chapter requires re-reading a few times to kind of get the idea clumsily put forth. For anyone comfortable in programming low level computer functions, the chapter will seem almost silly.
Among the saving graces of the book are frequent tables and illustrations, a glossary at the end of each chapter, review questions, exercises and class projects to reinforce the skills and concepts just presented. For network programmers, the bit maps of different data packets are a valuable resource. And the book comes with a CD of some fairly good trial-ware.
Overall, I like the book, and appreciate why it was chosen as the textbook. Hopefully future editions can parse down the verbage while clarifying some of the murkier presentations. I expect to keep it as a valuable reference.¤ 3) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. Please be aware that this book is published to be used as a TEXTBOOK for college (or trade schools) and thus the answers to problems, labs, etc are available ONLY to INSTRUCTORS. It is thus terrible for self-study or for certification preparation. Furthermore, neither the authors nor the publisher has produced a listing of errata, so you are on your own if something seems wrong but you do not yet possess the knowledge to determine whether the book is in error or not.¤ 4) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. for the most part, this book was a pretty decent reference. I was forced to buy the book for our tcp/ip protocol analysis class. The hands on projects were kinda lame considering they focused on analysing packets using the trial version of etherpeek which was included with the book which had so many frustrating limitations. The content in the chapters is kinda scattered and hard to find... The security section is pretty cool though.¤ 5) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. I was forced to take a class (requirement for school) that used this book. I have been working with TCP/IP for the last 8 years and I was surprised how in-depth the book covered TCP/IP (the protocol). I did not learn anything new from the book, but approached the class as a refresher course and ended up liking the book. If your looking to get into networking, the book is excellent. It has in depth explaination of TCP/IP and it covers the basics of TCP/IP services (DNS, DHCP, routing).¤ 6) Paperback Book Guide to TCP/IP by Course Technology. Learn the concepts, terminology, protocols and services that the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite uses to make the Internet work! This book clearly displays and demonstrates TCP/IP capabilities while encouraging readers to interact with the protocols as well as to read and learn about them. It provides both the knowledge and tools would-be network administrators and analysts need to understand what´s happening on their networks, and to appreciate that behavior from the perspectives of traffic analysis and characterization, error detection and troubleshooting, security analysis and remedial action, and more.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
