Networking for Beginners: An Easy Guide to Learning Computer Network Basics. Take Your First Step, Master Wireless Technology, the OSI Model, IP Subnetting, Routing Protocols and Internet Essentials.

As a complete tech novice I liked that this books starts at the very beginning. It explains what networking is, different protocals, different routing options, etc. I liked the simple, straightforward way the author explained everything. Like I could very easily get lost in the discussion of routing. But, the author explains the pros and cons of each, so I can pick the one best for my business. I think this book will be helpful.

Going back to the beginning in this book and you get to learn the connections. Not just what they do but how they operate. Which I find really helpful in being better able to understanding the whole network.

As a beginner getting into the IT field do not pick up this book It’s filled with errors that will further confused you especially when trying to learn about binary math. The book would be great if they had proof-read everything.

I loved this guide. It is one of the best I have read. All explanations and topics are perfectly covered. It is a book that is perfectly understood. If you are interested in learning about computer networks, look no further, this guide will be perfect for you.

Provides a simplistic overview of network theory and protocols. Not useful as a “how to” book. Wasn’t useful in helping me design my home network with wired and wireless devices. Not worth the money spent.

I read this book to gain an understanding of basic networking. This book walks you through the essentials of networking, so you get to know just enough about the LANs/WANs, the OSI model, and networking components. This book really made it easy to understand!

Excellent book to learn from the beginning how computer networks work. Everything you need to know you will find in this guide. From the most basic, to the most complicated. I am sure it will be very useful for you.

If you need assistance understanding computer network this book is for you. It has user friendly instructions and language. I recommend this book.
