Being that Microsoft has partnered with CompTia and allowed the Network+ exam to be used in the MSCA track, it is no surprise that they have updated the Network+ Training Guide to meet the new exam.

However in this 700 page manual there is a definitive slant in the material to Microsoft. While every objective is covered and this is also a useful tool for the MCSA exams, be aware that the material is geared to the Microsoft environment.

Overall you have over 45 exercises and a perfect tool for the classroom. What are missing are practice exams and for those not able to have equipment to work on, a simulator of some type would be a nice addition as well.

It is well documented and the cd does have an e-book of the Encyclopedia of Networking and few improvements are needed in order to make this book a winner.

Found the book helpful to pass the exam with a high score. The cd isn't all that valuable. Would have appreciated a simulated test on the cd. As with most cert books, you may want to look at multiple sources (test sites, other books, videos, etc.) to get a more complete grasp on the topic.

I am using this book to prepare for the Network + test and I must say that it is one of the best technical books I have read. MS Press has outdone themselves with this book, maybe it's even better than the stuff they write for their own products!

This book is a good study tool as well as a reference.
