CIW Foundations Exam Cram (Exam: 1D0-410) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)keep this book from being as useful as it could otherwise be.
In particular, the sections on the OSI model and DNS contain contradictory information, and a number of the sample questions patently record the wrong answers (i.e., you can tell because the answers in the questions don't correspond to the explanations provided). The section on subnet masking would be inadequate for anyone who doesn't already understand how to generate subnet masks. The book's discussion of HTML includes patently incorrect markup - don't rely on the book for any HTML coding. Finally, the book goes into intricate detail on many areas covered only very superficially on the exam, and leaves out some areas the exam requires (i.e., don't worry about most of those command line discussions for various programs, but do seek out additional information on, say, hacking and evaluating security risks).
Taken with a grain of salt - and read critically and carefully, checking all important sections against tutorials available on the web or other reference materials - this book can help you structure your study for the Foundations exam. At present, it's the only thing out there on the exam, and it does provide a systematic overview of many exam topics. Under the circumstances (since it's the only book on the market) I'm not unhappy to have bought it - but if I were planning to take the exam a few months from now, I might well have bought something else instead...
