5.0 out of 5 stars Network+ Fourth Edition, by Glen E. Clarke, September 9, 2009

I am an Associate professor at a community college and have been teaching Network+ for more than 10 years. After the recent certification exam change I had to review what was out there for the new exam. I am so glad this book was one I decided to take a look at. The book is to the point... check out the number of pages out there in some of the other study guides. Glen has a practical down-to-earth style of writing that makes it easier for students to get a handle on new concepts. The review questions at the end of the chapter are really good. I also love how the book has hands-on labs right in the chapters, and if that is not enough there is a whole lab manual that comes on the cd. Finally, if all this isn't enough there is a practice exam that comes on the cd as well. Wow, quite a bit for the money.

With that said there are a couple minor tweaks that need to be made in the next edition.

1. The requirements listed for the Network+ exam in the intro are for the old exam.

2. I would like to have seen "N10-004" or "Network+ 2009 exam" somewhere on the front or back cover. I had to look at the publishing date to make sure I had the

right book for the new exam.

3. The practice exam that came on the cd is good but there is no way to control what chapters or exam domains you want to pull questions from.

With that said, I am looking forward to using this book over the next few years and will be the first in line for the 5th Edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Go Wrong, September 23, 2008

I used A+ for Dummies to pass that exam, but apparently you can't be a dummy if studying for Net+. I used this edition for my study for this cert. Glen E. Clarke is a great conveyor of ideas. Very good use of analogy. He can be long winded at times, but he finds a way to be entertaining even covering this not-very-exciting material.

Long story short, I used this book, and (comfortably) passed the test!
