Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am disappointed with this book!! Full of mistakes!Example lab 1: Advertising a route into RIP ver 1 does not work if the major net on the interface has a different subnet mask then the subnet he tries to advertise to R5. What he is trying to accomplish is nonsense! You cant advertise a route if it...

Network+ Certification Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 (Exam N10-003) (2nd Edition) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book which has these reviews posted under it is 2 edition (June 7, 2005) and the most recent review is dated April 22, 2005. So, my question is... How can these reviews be about this book? Looks like Amazon just took the reviews from a previous edition, but how accurate is that? Not very accurate...

Securing Business Information: Strategies to Protect the Enterprise and Its Network (IT Best Practices series) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Of all the security books I've read this one stands out as the best for two reasons: (1) it lays out what is needed and the steps to take to develop an enterprise security policy in a clear, logical sequence, and (2) there no gaps in the proposed process. Indeed, it appears that the authors had 'due...

Computer Security: Principles and Practice Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Stallings and Brown directs the book at a computer professional, who might be a programmer or system administrator. The book deliberately minimises the mathematical aspects. Much of the topic consists of layers above sophisticated encryption algorithms. Alas, a detailed treatment of the latter often...

CCNA 640-802 Network Simulator Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just installed this software, and so far - it's just what I was expecting. I have the unique position of having tried both Boson's NetSim and RouterSim's Network Visualizer simulation software packages, and although both are excellent products (and getting better) I find Wendell Odom's product to be...

E-Learning in the 21st Century: A Framework for Research and Practice Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Perhaps it is not surprising that the authors of a book on e-learning are Canadian. Canada, like Australia, has had perennial problems with educating a population spread over vast distances. It is natural that Canada would have an intense interest in a means of providing remote higher education.The authors...

The Basics of Information Security: Understanding the Fundamentals of InfoSec in Theory and Practice Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are a million basic security books out there and I've read a bunch of them at one time or another. This book does a great job of explaining the basics without getting bogged down with too much detail. I think one of the problems that I see in some of the other books is that they are either aimed...

Cloud Security and Privacy: An Enterprise Perspective on Risks and Compliance (Theory in Practice) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I want to be fair here. I bought this book not to read hype on what looks like an emerging technology, albeit massively overhyped but, rather, to read about legal and business issues that might moderate its acceptance. To be fair, I will return to give my appraisal after I have finished but I was forced...

Bayesian Networks: A Practical Guide to Applications (Statistics in Practice) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Publisher's description exaggerates the book's pedagogical value; it is a collection of short essays describing applications, and authors do not seem especially concerned with theory. Quality is variable, editorial effort missing-in-action (typos galore) - a typical Wiley book, and an easy return decision.Click...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After trying to prepare for the CCNA on my own I came to the conclusion that I needed a book if I were going to understand the material enough to receive my CCNA.
