    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.

    If you’re like me, one of those ‘dummie’ PC users that has never been able to speak the language of the MIS people, this author does a great job of putting stuff in a language you can understand. Mysterious and intimidating acronyms like LAN and ASKII suddenly seem so simple. Why is this kind of person, who can translate between the language of MIS people and the rest of us, so hard to come by? I hope this author writes a whole lot more stuff for “the rest of us” who’d really like to “get it”, but can’t find anyone “bi-lingual”. I picked up this book in hopes of gleaning understanding of the internet, but ended up getting much more out of it. By going back to the basics, and assuming no computer literacy, this author filled in a lot of holes in my understanding. Granted there are a lot more holes to fill, but it’s refreshing to know that at least one person has figured out how to bridge the language gap

    This book was required reading for an MBA class. The simplicity of the technical explanations, as well as the simple diagrams make it an easy book to understand. There are a few places where I wish the author would delve a bit deeper, on the topic of security as one example. Overall though, a good book for those who need a basic understanding of internet technology.

    Based on the glowing praise of previous editions of this book and reviews of this book I purchased. I am very new to networking and was very excited to purchase based on all the outstanding reviews.

    Unfortunately I am disappointed overall. While the author does have a very good way of presenting the information and provides tremendous analogies to illustrate concepts, there really is no “meat” to the book. I found myself excited to grasp the basic idea of each chapter only to be disappointed that the author does not take it further. It really does not teach you how things work. It is too much of an overview. I would also agree with other reviews that there is a lot of useless historical info that is very interesting but is really just filler.

    At $50+, this book really does not deliver on the expectation. The authors writing style and examples are excellent but the ultimate information content is lacking. At the end I found myself with far more questions than I had before reading it. Unless you are extraordinarily new to computers I think readers will find this to be a disappointment.
