[.ca] Network+TM Certification For Dummies, 2nd Edition (ISBN 0764516213)

Worth buying for the CD alone!:
This might not be the most comprehensive book on the subject, but Gilster's books have never let me down. I passed the A+ exam using his book as well. It was what I needed-no more, no less, which was good because my full-time job and kids keep me busy enough. I passed the test the first time with a 92%. One word of caution: there are a few typographical errors, but the easy reading and good study aids on the CD more than made up for them.

Passed:
This is a good book for whom it is intended for; networking dummies! I had no previous networking experience before taking the Net+, so this was a great introductory guide to the networking world. Emphasis on INTRODUCTORY! There is a lot that the book did not cover that is on the exam. The exam also expects one to know the information in much more detail than the book gives. I recommend using not only the dummies book, but also the Cram Session Guide, transcenders, and Self-Test Software. Also, as I said with the A+ for Dummies review, a great study partner can be one's greatest resource!

Okay:
I used this book to pass the Network+ certification book. I have had some experience in networking though and yes there were some inaccuracies in the book. It's a good book just to refresh some things before you take the test though.

Numerous content errors.:
I passed my Network+ 886/900. Which means I missed one question. But my high score had NOTHING to do with this title. I also would like to add to the other disappointed reviews that I emailed BOTH Ron Gilster AND the dummies press with several instances of factually incorrect information, asking if any errata was posted; as of today, 12 months later, I have received NO REPLY from either party from the 4 emails I sent. Ed Tittel from Exam Cram ALWAYS returns emails. Are they unwilling to live up to the same standards?
