The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I want to get my Net+ cert. I have A+ and know some of the important stuff for networking but I'm definitely in need a good book to fill in the blanks. I have a "Guide to Networking Essentials" that a coworker let me borrow, it's a good 600 pages long and I fall asleep as soon as I look at it.
I guess I'm not really looking envelope myself in everything that is or ever was networking, I just want to learn what I need to pass the test, I'm sure I'll pick up the rest later.
Anyone know a good book for getting what I need and cramming it into my brain? Thanks.
But, if you are after mere parlor tricks, you will be sorely disappointed. For if I reach behind your ear, it will not be a nickel I pull out, but your very soul!
I'm in the same boat as you, just passed my A+ certification and now working on my Network+. The author I use is pretty popular (Mike Meyers) and his books are good. This book comes highly recommended.
