A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition (All-In-One) This is by far the best and most comprehensive guide for the A+ certification. I did the course with a college and their text books were often heavy on jargon and light on explanation. After i read this book i felt 100% ready to take the test, and i passed, and passed well. Thanks to this book. Now i'm studying the N+ and using the Meyers guide for that too.

Linux Pocket Guide (Pocket Guide: Essential Commands)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Networking and Security
by: Daniel Barrett

February 18, 2004
So many books are thick, wordy, and conceal their nuggets of wisdom, but not this one. It's not big, so you won't find full details on (eg) all of the many Linux email clients - but they get a mention.
Works well for me (ex BSD 4.x sysop in the 1980s) as well as friends with no previous knowledge of operating systems. It's the examples that are such a help - most of the things we've needed to do are covered with a brief, relevant example. We use it with Ubuntu mainly - Debian distros are not identical to Fedora but we've not seen a problem - both are Linux and conform to the POSIX standard.
Reading it cover-to-cover is logical, informative, and highly recommended. Three times, and the info is starting to stick..... Then keep it handy ... Read More:

Computer Networks (International Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Networking and Security
by: Andrew S. Tanenbaum

August 27, 2002
i bought this book from my uni book shop (popular chain store begining with W and end with "stones") - which cost me five pounds more. i could have saved the extra cost buying it from amazon, but would have had to pay p&p.

the content in short is: you would find this book interesting if you are the type who enjoys reading specifications and protocol documentations. if you dont, then this book doesnt attempt to make it any less painless.

however, i will comment on the cheapo low grade paper that this book is printed on... i mean COME ON! i paid near £50 for 891 page book, that's TWICE the amount i paid for my bruce schneier - cryptography applied; which incidentally is printed on PROPER paper. if the book was packed with colour ...

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Networking and Security
by: David Flanagan

August 17, 2006
I have owned this book for some time and I can honestly say it is unique. This is the only manual I have encountered that has been consistent in its inability to answer any query i have. Admitedly I am a Javascript novice but that's why I purchased this manual in the first place to help me understand javascript. The internet has quickly answered all my queries with ease and clarity, I really don't understand why this massive book is unable to do the same.
As I said above it's probably me, as you can see there are many glowing reports for this book. In my defense I have been involved in the IT world for many years and have relied on manuals to help successfully resolve issues.
This book continues to remain a mystery to me and I am seriously thinking ... Read More:

Learning ActionScript 3.0 (A Beginner's Guide)

by: Rich Shupe, Zevan Rosser

December 13, 2007
After endlessly searching for a decent AS3 book but having to settle with intermediate to advanced book I found this little gem and started some research. After finding reviews on the flashblog and other resources I decided to go ahead with the purchase.

not only is this book well illustrated in full colour, it also gives you a sense that your learning at a steady pace without feeling like your missing something as you progress.

The online resource site offers all of the files needed to sit and study the chapters in the book closer.

I have also recently embarked on what I thought was a problem with one of the resource files and emailed the support group, I was astonished to get a reply within 15 Minutes, pity that I was being ... Read More:
