Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Internet Book, The: Everything You Need to Know About Computer Networking and How the Internet Works (Textbook Binding) He's the leader in his field. I've used his books for teaching and as referrals. He's so readable but does not talk down to you like the silly "dummy" stuff. You'll be so glad you gave this a try.
