Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIf you're pursuing a career in networking, Cisco certification remains invaluable. Exam 640-821 ("CCNA Intro") is the place to start, and Todd Lammle's CCNA Intro is your definitive study resource.
Longtime networking pros know Lammle well: Odds are, he's the one who helped them master Cisco networking and get certified in the first place. His prep guides have been translated into 12 languages; his company trains thousands of Cisco certification candidates every year. No exaggeration: Lammle and his colleagues know more about CCNA certification than anyone outside (or maybe inside) Cisco.
This polished, efficient book reflects all that knowledge. And it comes with all the tools you'll need to prepare quickly and effectively. Loads of carefully crafted sample questions. Two complete sample exams. Hundreds of take-anywhere electronic flashcards. There's even some bonus video training. Bill Camarda, from the December 2006 Read Only
