Summary: Excellent breakdown for INET+, but a little to late.
Review: Inet+ is an exam that has been around for about 6 months and there are several books to help you study from. Jean Andrews has put together a great study and reference manual, however the timing is what may keep this from becoming more widely accepted. In 675 pages the entire set of INET+ objectives are covered completely, but again this book is just a little short in the timing area. With the material covered this book should and can help anyone who has yet to take the exam. One thing I noticed was the book does not cover the exam in any certain order and some of the chapters appear to be out to objective order. There are hands-on labs that will help you understand the concepts more clearly. This book is made for a classroom environment as it assumes you have certain equipment available. Also include are tips and review questions and it is fairly easy to follow the chapters and material. There is no doubt that Jean Andrews has a tremendous grasp of the subject matter. Overall a good value for the money.

Summary: excellent reference on the i-net exam, except...
Review: This book has a ton of pertinent information on the I-net+ exam. The format, however, kind of needed help. In the back of the book is a chart for which chapter covers certain information on sections of the exam. I hate jumping back and forth, so I ended up just reading the whole darn thing and going back and reviewing. Also, it needed more information on JDBC, Audio-files, troubleshooting and plug-ins. Also, a little more on graphic formats (which it covers, but doesn't go into the difference between GIF87 and GIF89, etc...) would have been nice. This book does have an excellent CD in the back of the book that has a pretty good pre-test. After having taken the exam, I realized that this book had a few small holes. one was that not enough information on application of certain functions, such as what type of audio file would be the best under certain conditions, and other things that would have been helpful. Still, it covers a massive amount of information. I would recommend this book, but you might want to combine it with something else to round out your education.
