Network+ Guide to Networks (MindTap Course List)

The book is written for the newest CompTIA Network + N10-007 Exam. These guys get it right every time. It's great to read a book that is simple, covers the exam topics, and straight to the point. There's no added fluff or extra talk between saying what needs to be said. The authors keep it simple, concise, and they move on. Solid explanations with "Very Well" organized content. You don't get the usual I'll cover this in a later chapter so much as you do with other books. What's covered in the chapter you're reading is in that chapter. This is specifically why I come back to their books as a study resource and a reference to brush off the rust. There's also quality pictures showing in detail the different cable connectors, cable types, patch panels, and so forth. If your looking for a book that keeps it simple, organized, easy to understand, easy to follow, stays on course, and gets straight to the point without straying off path, this is the book. Although it doesn't say it on the front cover, if you read the description under the buying options it tells you this book is written for the CompTIA Network + N10-007 Exam. Also, you can download the sample and read the first 14 pages of the material to give you an idea of what the rest of the book will be like. I hope this review helps.

For those that might not understand what this book is used for — it’s a college textbook, that’s meant to teach networking fundamentals. It’s true that it DOES cover the objectives listed in the Comptia Network + exam, but if you buy this book to “self study” for the exam you may be disappointed because there’s no answers to the review questions (which are crucial in helping you learn), nor are there answers to the end of the book “Sample Exam”, which is very disappointing. On the plus side, it’s well organized, to-the-point, and highly technical. Contrast this to the other Network + study materials (Myers and Lammle’s books) which contain a TON of rambling and unneeded information. There’s also plenty of great color pictures and graphs and study tips. Also, the end of chapter “labs” listed are excellent and I highly suggest doing them all. But don’t count on this as being your *only* source of study for the Network + exam; but it’s still quite good and “to the point”. I recommend it.

This is the best networking guidebook I ever read.

this was late about 5 days

This book was a requirement for a class. Shipping experience went well. Book arrived in the condition is was suppose to arrive in. Networks+ Guide to Networks has great information inside ! Five stars ! ! !

This is exactly what I was looking for and it came as described. My only error was I didn’t read that it was coming from overseas. That was my bad so definitely not taking points off for my error. The seller was great with communication and giving me a tracking number once it reached the states! I would recommend buying from this seller.

Rented it for a class one semester. Liked it so much that I purchased it. Well written book & easy to understand & will be a very handy referencing book for future use.

Buyer beware. It is possible to create a Cengage account, but don't expect on accessing content on the Cengage web site if you are not enrolled in a college course for which an instructor has given access. It is possible to register as a student using the access code on the text if it has not already been registered. However online content requires an additional ($100 to $250) purchase, and some of the purchased material is itself only a 1 month trial (ie Kaplan) requiring still more money. There is a CompTIA Network+ 90 question sample test in the book, but there are no answers provided in the text. Perhaps if I were enrolled in a college course with instructor access codes I could see them.

Brand new book, brand new condition, received when they said it would be and I’m very happy with the book
