5.0 out of 5 stars This Network+ set separates those who know, from those who don't., February 23, 2010

When it comes to technical writing, I'm extremely impressed with Sybex. I have read books from other publishers such as Cram Exam, McGraw/Hill ect., but Sybex sets a new standard. If you work in the IT field, then you know troubleshooting and unique problem solving is a must have. Just puking out exam facts and terms may get you past the test, but it won't get you a better job or advance your career. The Sybex group will give you knowledge well beyond the scope of CompTIA's Network+ objectives, and this is what will set you apart from your co-workers when it comes time for a promotion or a pay raise. Not only will you pass the test, but it will provide skills that can be used NOW! You'll be able to SHOW your employer that you didn't just "pass" a test; rather, you actually learned something that can be used on the job, and this increases your "worth" to that company. We've all met people who boast about knowing something, that they really know little to nothing about. Don't be that person; use Sybex materials for your studies.

As others have said before me, Todd Lammle's book gives you everything you need to pass the N10-004 exam, while giving you knowledge outside of the exam, which could surely come in handy in the professional world. I really like his style of writing, which was humorous at times, and explained things in an easy to understand manner. The chapter on subnetting was especially well done. I've read some other explanations of how to subnet, and his was by far the best. I also read Bill Ferguson's book, which really cemented the knowledge I needed to know for the exam. There were also some parts where I felt Bill did a better job of explaining things, like on the structure of MAC addresses. After I read Mr Furguson's book, I went back and reread Lammle's and was finally able to understand what he was he was trying to say. I haven't got into the street smarts book yet, but I intend to when I buy routers and switches to study for the CCNA cert. If you buy this book, and you take the time to learn it thoroughly you will definitely pass. I got a score of 829.

I purchased this book in July 2009. After thoroughly reading it for a month, I took the exam in Nairobi (Kenya) and passed with a high score. I'm greatly satisfied with its content and recommend it for Network+ exam preparation. Thanks, Daniel Kisembo Semire.
