Cisco CCNA Self Study Guide: Routing and Switching Exam 640-607

Rating:
Summary: CCNA made easy.
Review: This is easily the best self-study technical book I've read in a long while. Chiarella explains CCNA topics in a way that makes you think he's personally talking to YOU. Although it is not an all inclusive "newbie" book, it's not supposed to be. If you already have a basic foundation in networking topics and technologies, this book can take you the extra step to fully understanding CCNA requirements. I found the subnet explanations to be especially impressive. While understanding subnets is not the most difficult thing, Chiarella makes it second nature. If you feel you're ready for the CCNA, I would definitely give this book a read. Oh, and the price is an outstanding bargain, while not a bookend like most of the texts out there today, this book is invaluable and has earned a permanent spot on my bookshelf.
