Reader Reviews
This review is from: Cisco Networking Academy Program: First-Year Companion Guide (Hardcover) I found the content within this book is an excellent aid to the CCNA online courseware (version 2.1). Further, without this book I would be unable to study all the material offline, because courseware (version 2.1) is designed to restrict printing. The book doesn't follow the courseware, chapter to lesson; but the order is still the same, and the contect is mostly word for word. The Flash Card software, found on the CD, tests your knowledge, and when you fail a question the software directs you to the chapter where you need to review. This software can be downloaded for free from Cisco. The courseware movies, also found on the CD, are the same found online. Having them on the CD reduces the time waiting for the download to complete. The Additional content found after the chapters can aid in your training, and is not easily found anywhere within the online courseware. If you want these resources, you'll need this book. Be warned, there is a great difference in courseware between version 1.0 and 2.0 (version 2.1 is a cleaned up and slightly modified revision of 2.0). If you are taking the version 1.0 course, this book will not follow your training as well as you might want. Comment | | (Report this)
