Summary: Ridiculous
Review: I am enjoying the book immensely and I have reccomended it to many people. It was reccomended to me by a group of Cisco employees that were using it for the CID and CCIE written. They gave it a resounding "Buy" reccomendation. Much more interesting than a standard certification publication, I spent an hour comparing this CID book to the Cisco Press CID, and it is clearly an easier and more fun read. Also, it does not look like it was copied off of CCO. Most people that I know learn better when there are real world references to help relay a concept, and this book has many valuable tips and anecdotes. 5 pings !

Summary: Swear by these series!
Review: I bot this and found it difficult to get myself to read thru it.
So, I loaned it to a CCNP (v2) cert. friend, who read it throughly. He FAILED the ccdp exam, much to his surprize! Today, we were looking at the new Cisco Press CCIE written book, and my friend noticed the answers to the CCDP exam questions are well covered in that book (by Bruno). So, I'll try that one.

Summary: A good book to use with the Cisco course notes
Review: I purchased this text as a study preparation guide for the CID exam. The book covers some good material on network design and explains some useful design concepts and methodologies which I tend to use in my everyday work. Despite the fact that it does cover some nice extras like DSL and router commands, these are not examinable in the CID exam. I found the SNA section a little thin and was referring back to the course notes for addtional information on this topic. A nice (light) chapter on security makes interesting reading. A good reference text, but use with the course notes if you're preparing for the exam.

Summary: Not enough
Review: I read this book and the Cisco Press CID to pass the exam. The passing score on the test is now 75%, and at this point neither book on its own covers enough to pass the test.

Summary: A must read...
Review: I recommend the purchase of this book for all that seek any form of cisco certification. It is especially useful for people pursuing CCNP. I have found that when I did not know the exact answer, being able to know the concepts behind the task helped me come up with the right answer.

Summary: Not structured enough...
Review: I think this book is a bit messed up. It contains most topics in the exam, such as Stratacom, SNA. The problem is that all information is written in unstructured, messed up paragraphs throughout the book. CID is the first test I ever have failed (I prepared with this book only). Now I wait for the Cisco-book which I intend to read before the next tryout...
