CID: Cisco Internetwork Design

Rating:
Summary: Huh?
Review: So, my first question is, why don't the authors ever explain what the CID is, and what the CCDP (Cisco Certified Professional Designer) certification is?

This isn't such a bad book, it's just not really right for McGraw-Hill to sell it as an exam prep text.

I quite liked it as a general overview to the principles of internet design, but the authors would have been better served with a better publisher. The fact that this 800 page book is as fat as some books twice the page count irks me no end (think of the trees!), as does the gratuitous CD ROM (as near as I can tell, it just has the same "review" questions as are included at the end of each chapter).

Well-worth reading if you can borrow this one from a library or a friend, but if you have to shell out 60 skins you may not be thrilled with the value.
