He can write this book for it, as he is a member of CompTIA he gets information about its objectives before the exam so he CAN have a book for it. I have this book in my possesion and I assure you it is NOT rushed in any way. And useless? How can you possibly say that?

Having asked Mike myself (email) he was almost done with an updated version when the new test was annouced, so very little had to be added to cover the new objectives.

Please, read the book before making such bold accusations that it is worthless. I find it very informative and useful.

This is a good book. If you are a beginner to networking this is a great place to start. I disagree that you can pass the Net+ exam with this book only though.

I did not buy the extra exam questions that the author sells. Maybe with those and this book you could pass the exam.

I used this book and Exam Cram to pass my Net + exam. I would suggest using this book, exam cram, and self test to make sure you are ready and know the material.

In this book the self test questions were too easy. They were not even close to what I seen on the exam. Combine this book with other resources and you will be happy.

Mike Meyers once again has come out with a comprehensive certification book and CD ROM to help Techs get through the Network Plus Exam. Mr.Meyers was able to come out with a book on time for the Beta Exam release. There is a technique to using the authors books, and while he does suggest a technique in the beginning, I would suggest giving his book a read through two to three times not challenging yourself until the final reading. This book makes an excellent precursor to Passport or Exam Cram.

This was the first IT book that I truly enjoyed reading. First off, this book IS for the current exam (ignore previous posting). Mike Meyers has an outstanding writing style. If you need to study networking for the Network+ cert, and/or want to learn to build a network from scratch, this book is a must have!! Outstanding work, this book belongs in a gallery.

Mike writes "discussionally" (that's my term Mike, you can't have it). It's like he's sitting across the table from you during dinner, trust me, I've been there with Mike. His writing style makes it easy to read, learn and retain the information. In fairness, I took my Network+ exam just to see what it was like after more than a decade in the industry, but I enjoyed reading Mike's book and learning things I didn't know while seeing old knowledge in a new light.

If you don't read this book, you won't know everything you need to know to pass the Network+ exam.

I used this book as my main study guide for the Network+ exam, along with his Network+ Passport. Mike says that you will pass the exam, not that you will score a 900 on it, and I think this is probably accurate. I studied this book, taking notes and reviewing as well as using the practice exams. I also bought my test voucher from Mike's company which gave me additional practice exams. I passed with a decent score (763)and most of the material I saw on the test was in the All In One book.

Ok, having said that, I think it would be a good idea to use either his Network+ Passport, or the Sybex Network+ book ( which I haven't seen but gets good review as well ) because there are some topics that are skipped over very lightly in the All In One that are covered in more detail in the other books. The Network+ Passport is NOT comprehensive enough to get you a pass on it's own though, at least not based on the questions I had to answer. If you want to score in the 800's then I think the All In One, coupled with the Sybex book would do it but since the questions are drawn from a pool, if you happen to be unlucky you could skill end up in the 700's.

this is a good book.
the main con for this book is that it lacks detailed security protocal function. make sure you read on ipsec, l2 and kerberos before you go take the exam, if you want to get a high score.
i used this book and examcram2's practice exam and those questions are too easy. i passed but with only a decent score.

I bought this book based on the recommendations of recent reviewers. Unfortunately, the contents of this book are outdated. There is very little information on MAC OS X or UNIX in this book. I took the Network + Exam on March 1, 2007 and barely passed with a score of 662. During the exam, I answered approximately 20 questions pertaining to the interconnectivity of OS X and UNIX to other operating systems. This book comes with a 4 practice exams, but these questions are nothing like the questions on the actual exam. I do not recommend this book as a study guide for the Network + Exam.

I really enjoyed Mike's A+ guide, which was the reason that I picked up his Network+ guide as well. This was the only book that I used in studying for my Network+ exam, and it turned out to be all that I needed. Mike has a good writing style that helps to convey technical concepts using analogies of everyday concepts. All of the topics that CompTIA specifies for the test are covered. Mike sometimes explains beyond what you need to know, but is usually good about letting you know what is needed for the test and what is extra.

In addition to his book, I also purchased my exam voucher through his company, which came with additional practice tests than what is contained on the book's CD. The tests were decent, but asked the questions a bit differently than the actual test does. As a result, I did feel at times that I was taking shots in the dark during the actual exam.

In the end, the book and test questions did the trick, as I passed the exam with an 800 score (need 554 on a 100-900 score range to pass). Though I haven't read other Network+ books, I have no problem recommending this book as your primary study source.

I like this book, it's easy to understand and it makes you understand the networking world. This is the book that I used to prepare for the exam wich I passed on the first try. It helped me understand all about networking, I can recommend this book for everyone that wants either to pass the network+ exam or just to get aquainted with networking.
