Customer Reviews

One of the best CNE books out there!

I like the way Clarke organized the relevant topics in passing the CNE exam---adding Humor to a boring concept. This book also contains stuff that would help you even for MCSE. It is really a good source of knowledge for both CNE, CNAs etc. wannabees.

This is the book to understand networking fundamentals!

As an MCSE who has been teaching Networking Essentials to systems engineering students I figured that I would breeze through the Novell Networking Technologies course. Whoa! The Novell course goes into substantially more detail than the Microsoft course. I found Clarke's book to be an excellent guide through the maze of material that Novell requires familiarity with. And it was a pleasure to notice that this book seems to be the foundation of many other guides and lectures that I have been exposed to both in Novell and Microsoft curriculums. The author does go overboard on Zen commercials, puzzles, brain teasers, and the like but it is easy to skip over these parts when you have time only to study material you will need for an exam (or in my case, for my next lecture).

Best book I have ever seen.

It does not matter if you are studying for your CNE or CCIE, this book covers the basics of the OSI model and it will get you passing your CNE exams and get your on your way to the more superior Cisco certifications easily.I got my CNE with this book and I did not use any others. It was not boring like other books I glanced at. This book not only helped me with my CNE and is helping me with my Cisco certifications, but it also helped me review for my A+ certification.Absolutely wonderful book, great to use for MCSEs wanting to catch up to the knowledge level of a CNE too.

Excellent book!

Look forward to meeting Mr. Clarke. This book has to be the basis for the Student Textbooks that students receive when they go through Courses 200 and 801. As such, this book can substitue for both Student Textbooks.

The best !!

I have read the entire book twice since I bought this book ! Amazingly I still think it's the best written technical book - not dull and not too playful; everything is just nice. Most important, I am able to use this book to consolidate all the networking technologies I learn in university into practice. No books does that like this one does. Great Book !! Not only CNE, everyone who is serious about computer networking should have a copy. YES ! get it and don't wait
