Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good introductory book - easy to read but can be a bit wordy at times Comment: This is a good introductory book. It gives board coverage of all important areas of computer networking. Easy to read and it has been kept up-to-date with every edition with the changes in the field. My minor complaints are (i) that each chapter is quite long; (ii) it gets overly wordy at times but it does help to reinforce what you just learned; (iii) it is hard to review the material (after you have read through it once) because too many materials are crammed into each topic. Customer Rating: Summary: Greate book, Computer networking Comment: This is a very good book for someone who is thinking of going into computer networking. The price was right,the service was great. Bought this book for my grandson who is thinking of going into this field. He has been reading it ever since. Customer Rating: Summary: Good book and good seller Comment: The book was required for computer networking course. Good book to know the basics. Book delivered on time and in good condition. Would like to buy more stuff from this seller. Customer Rating: Summary: Most readable book in my entire CS curriculum Comment: Lots of other reviewers have said it so I won't go on at length, but this is a fantastic book. Very easy to read, while still presenting gobs of information. Authors have a great sense of humor. They are able to make the broad concepts as well as the nitty gritty of networking crystal clear, without undue effort from the reader. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: reference Comment: I am a very beginning student in computer networking and find the chapters dense but clearly written. My instructor has encouraged us to keep the book for future classes because even though we may not cover all the material in this course, it will be a handy reference for us in more advanced ones. The labs and Java applets are great for visualizing a lot of the more tricky concepts. The top down approach of working from the things you know (applications) helps you not feel totally lost right at the beginning before you get hit with all the acronyms. I would recommend this book to networking students at any level of expertise. More Reviews
