Average Rating:

Rating: - Extremely Hard to Read
What a book! I found it almost impossible to motivate myself to read this monster!

The text is very long winded, with a lot of fluff that can be taken out w/o harming the intent of the book.

I did not take the exam yet but if I do take it I will update the review then.

Rating: - A good study guide for non-technical domains

Those domains happen to be rigoursly technical of the bunch. In other words I learned well only the not-so-technical ... Read More

Rating: - Take the exam and forget
Poorly written, but, nevertheless, suitable for the advertised purpose.

Observations:
1. Peculiar sense of humor (see subtitle italics; "Can I spread these signals with a butter knife?
Response: Whatever.");
2. Watery contents (p 514: "The smart people had to gather into small rooms and hit the whiteboards with ideas, calculations, and new technologies. The result of these meetings, computations, engineering designs, and testing was Fast Ethernet.");
3. Unimaginative ... Read More
