5.0 out of 5 stars
Exceptional!,
By Judith Jenkins MCSE, CNA, A+, N+ (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TCP/IP Jumpstart: Internet Protocol Basics (Paperback)
In the past year since I began studying for my Networking certifications I have read dozens of books about computers and networking. Some were childishly simplistic and others were mind numbingly technical. What impressed me about TCP/IP Jumpstart by Andrew G Blank is that it took a relatively complicated subject and broke it down so that it was very understandable and easy to learn from. I was especially impressed by the section on Custom Subnetting. I have seen this topic explained some half dozen ways and have never really got a grasp on it until now. Mr. Blank had a simple and easy to use method of creating custom subnets that was beautifully explained. I finally get it!!! I am confidant that I can do it without having to recreate a complicated chart or do tons of calculations. Another thing that made this book so enjoyable was all of the illustrations the author used to relate the way things worked to real life experiences like mailing a package or a telephone call. It really brought what goes on in the secretive world of computers to life so that I can now picture in my mind what happens when computers communicate. When I pass my Cisco exam I will have TCP/IP Jumpstart by Andrew G. Blank to thank for teaching me to custom subnet.

Great Book for Learning about TCP/IP !,
By Debra Dale (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TCP/IP Jumpstart: Internet Protocol Basics (Paperback)
I found TCP/IP JumpStart very helpful on a topic that is new to me. Computer networking field is a new topic that adds dimension to my portfolio. Andrew Blank has a wonderful way of teaching so a novice can understand yet an intermediate doesn't get bored. He brings examples and illustrations to the text enabling you to understand or actually visualize the technology concept. TCP/IP JumpStart brings technology into terms for beginners, also more advanced students can collect new ideas and concepts. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is about to take a class or would like to learn about TCP/IP. This is a book that I can highly recommend to anyone.

TCP/IP JumpStart,
By Ivory Johnson (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TCP/IP Jumpstart: Internet Protocol Basics (Paperback)
I am enjoying this book. It is helping me to brush up on my TCP/IP skills. The writer does a good job to relate the protocol without making it too simple. The only thing I would like is more coverage of subnetting. I am not saying it is not covered well but it would be nice to have more subnetting practice questions. As most people know that is showing up more and more on certification tests
