Cisco Networking Academy Program: Second-Year Companion Guide (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: The Best Guide of them all.
Review: A brilliant guide and very under-rated. The best quality at the lowest price, back up your studies from other sources but the core is here. The actual quality of the paper in book itself says it all, a pleasure to read and easy to follow with a masterful CD. Cisco Press can be really proud of this one.

Review: I received a confirmation then an e-mail initiating a refund because the book was out of stock. That's ok but why is the seller still on the list indicating the book is available?

Review: I've seen better books on the market. This book has several mistakes and explanations are generic.....not enough detail. In some parts the writer just rambles and the points are unclear. Also lots of redundancy...the same explanation of the same topic three or four times...I usually understand the topic after the first explanation. The first year companion was worse plus the book binding came unglued. Though most of the information is useful, you'll need other books to broaden the information base. I expected more from Cisco.

Review: This book is a great compliment when taking the 2nd half of the Cisco Networking Academy classes (semester 3 and 4). I mainly rely on this book rather than going online to follow the course. The CD-ROM is an extra bonus with examples about the topics and provides practice to learn certain IOS commands.

Summary: A lot better............
Review: Well, if you are one of the poor souls half way through the CCNA course then you will be pleased to know that Cisco have greatly improved this 3/4 semester book compared to the 1/2 sem. book which was simply awful. This book's contents are is in the exact order of the online course, no jumping around... good questions, good CD with videos, flash cards and lab excercises. Know this book well and you could probably miss the class stuff altogether.
