Sams Teach Yourself Networking in 24 Hours, Third Edition

Sams Teach Yourself Networking in 24 Hours, Third Edition is very informative and very well designed to get a begginer up to speed with the networking principles.

Gets you started

Networking can be a frustrating experience. There used to be lots of grungy details to deal with, and all the debugging would be done on a command line. No GUIs to guide you. But here the authors hope to improve matters. Naturally, the network described in most of the book is TCP/IP, better known as the Internet. There are also brief descriptions of ATM, Token Ring, FDDI, IPX and Net BIOS. It's probably fair to say that...

Perfect book for total newbie.

This is a very well written book for a complete begginers who are going to study networking in Uni or college and wont to be familiar with topic. However, won't give you an understanding in depth.

Excellent for networking wanna-be's & home-LAN hobbyists

Hayden was entertaining and informative. This is an excellent reference for those interested in setting up home-based LANS with little or no prior experience. As an introduction to a complicated subject, Hayden succeeded in giving this reader plenty "ah-hahs" in each chapter. The book is limited in its coverage of the real world problems that make up the bulk of the networking profession, but these readers won't be trying...

Great book!!!

This book was absolutely the best I've read in a while. It is down to earth and simple to understand. Matt Hayden did an excellent job of making this book readable to dummies and techies alike.
