Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
CompTIA, the A+, Network+, Server+, i-Net+ – and the vast array of other pluses – certification outfit has revised its certification program for the hard-working network technician with an excellent general knowledge of networks and internetworking technologies. However, unlike other networking certifications, such as MCSE, CNE, or CCNA, Network+ covers all kinds of general network technology knowledge and practices, instead of revolving around just the brand-specific stuff. Apple, Microsoft, Novell, and other manufacturers and their products are included on the Network+ test, making it the true measure of a networking technician's overall grasp of networking and internetworking technology. Obviously, you're considering Network+ certification for one of the following reasons: - You're planning to become Network+ certified no matter what, but you don't quite know how to achieve your goal.
- You know how valuable Network+ certification is to a network technician's career and advancement.

It focuses on the areas likely to be on the exam, plus it gives you a little background information here and there to help you understand some of the more complex concepts and technologies.

A good starter book that will not go over your head!

• Not Worth The Paper It Was Written On And Way Overpriced.
02 June, 2006
The information in this book is worse than incomplete. The practice questions in the book and on the CD are nothing like those on the EXAM. There are many practice questions that are poorly worded, and have WRONG answers. There are also many questions with TYPO's. Example there was a question comparing DIMMS and RIMMS, but all the the answers referenced SIMMS. Stay away from this please!!!!
Jokes are not funny and if this book was written by an 30 year + IT professional... well frankly that is sad. He should have had to knowledge and resources to create a book that is accruately geared toward the exam. Like other for dummy books, this book was probably written by underpaid, barely expierenced kids, with a limited review process as to maximize publisher profits.
If you are taking this exam I suggest that you obtain study materials from Testking or Realexams. Stay away from this book, it will not help you pass. The information it concentrates on such as DMA/IRQ/BIOS settings/codes etc., can be found for free on the internet.
In retrospect, I would buy this book only if they didn't charge me, and shipped it for free. At least I have a coaster for my drinks at work.

• Network Review Is Dated
05 December, 2009
I didn't title this review outdated because there is still a lot of good information here. At only $10 you get what you pay for. But much of the technology on the new Network+ (N10-004) exam is not included in this book. There is no current Network book for dummies. For an up to date Network study guide you will need something like Exam Cram.

• If You Want To Pass The Test, Read This.
09 July, 2006
This book is the antidote to boring or overwhelming text books. In actuality, you need to learn and memorize the same facts and figures but the author's style makes it much less of a chore. In addition, the included CD allows you to get comfortable with the taking of the certification test. The book and the CD allowed me to confidently and successfully pass my certification test.
