5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book for Passing the iNet+ exam, October 4, 2000

This review is from: i-Net+ Certification Study System (Paperback)

I don't think some of these other reviewers actually read this book, or at least not very carefully. Mr. Byrne covers the entire exam objectives clearly and completely. His writing style is easy to understand and entertaining as well. I had very little Internet experience but I spent the time to read this book, study the information presented, and re-read the area that I wasn't very sure of. After properly preparing (with just this book and the BeachFront Quizzer included on the CD) I passed the exam with a 92%. Not only did I pass, but now I understand how to create my own Web, Email, and DNS servers! Pretty cool stuff! So if you failed the exam, don't blame this book, its more likely that you didn't prepare yourself enough. This book covers it all. Everything you need to know you'll find in this book and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource and preparation guide! A++, June 9, 2000

By 

Jim Mcfarland - See all my reviews

This review is from: i-Net+ Certification Study System (Paperback)

The iNet+ Certification Study System is a great resource for learning all about how Internet works! The topics match the exam objectives perfectly and completely. This is not just a good study guide however. Anyone interested in knowing how Internet technologies work should read this book. Its the only one I've found that is easy to read but at the same time gives an in-depth look into how the Internet operates. I passed the test using just this book and I had very little previous Internet experiance. I now feel capable of actually "doing" Internet related services for my company. The CD also contains a number of great software programs including a Web server, Web Page editor, and e-mail server that I have up and running in my home in less than 2 hours, thanks completely to Mr. Byrne's clear step-by-step explainations. A++

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book!, October 20, 2000

Joe Barns (Denver CO.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: i-Net+ Certification Study System (Paperback)

I can't say enough good things about this book. Everything you need for the exam is here, and clearly explained in an easy to read format. The examples are great. I really like the software (lots of FREE software) included so I could set up my own servers and see first hand how e-mail and the web works. I passed the exam on my first attempt using this book as my study guide. I've read both books by this author and trust him to give honest, easy to follow, and relevant information. Well worth the money...and then some!
