Summary: AWESOME
Review: Having now read a mountain of IT books I know how lucky I was to have picked this one to be my first! A tie with Sybex's CCNA study guide by Lammle for the best networking book I have ever read! Even with the exam expired this is the best book I have ever read for someone getting started in networking. I am buying up some extra copies for friends and coworkers since they have worn out mine! For an subject where books are outdated as fast as they are printed this should be considered a classic for us old pro's and a must read for the novice.

Summary: Relevance for a non-professional
Review: I have read several books on networking essentials. I was sold on the book when I read his description of the OSI model. Concrete examples were used. His explanations reduced the need for rote memorization. The book is filled with practical knowledge and theory as well as exam tips.

Summary: Excellent reading!
Review: Step one in becoming the MCSE is to pass the Networking Essentials exam. In order to accomplish the feat you need the resources to study and this book should be among them. Jason Nash gives you the exam 70-058 in a format that will make learning a breeze.Nash covers each exam objective and covers it very well. From networking basics, OSI Model and media to design, protocols, administration and troubleshooting along with other topics, you have everything you need to make the grade. There are figures, diagrams, tables and even step-by-step instructions for the installation of certain items related to exam objectives. The author simplifies the terminology and the reading was very easy and fast. What I thought stood out the most the IDG's testing software. The software has 3 options, study, exam simulation and adaptive. The cd-rom also comes with Microsoft TECH NET trial version and Micro House Technical Library Demo version. Overall and excellent resource for study.
