 Excellent resource. Scored high and passed Security+ 2008 March 1, 2010

Mark Ciampa's Security+ Guide to Network Fundamentals 3rd edition, is an excellent resource for new users or novices who need to understand Security concepts and succeed. We used this as a college textbook, and worked exclusively from the book.
The book is a very easy read, and is written well. The book keeps things moving with the hands on labs and very easy to use. The end of chapter questions make it easy to solidify the chapter topics. The exam engine included in the book is very intuitive, and allows you to work on your weak areas by identifying the topics that need work.
Scoring 100% on all the chapter questions, and the CertBlaster exam engine allowed me to pass the Security+ 2008 exam with ease with plenty of time to spare. I highly recommend this book.
Note: To succeed in passing the exam, you must read, do the labs, understand your subject matter, and practice, practice, practice. No shortcuts here.

This book was required for an online course and i found it to be very adequate and informative. if one does the exercises and labs that are associated with the book they can gain a valuable insight into the field of network technology and skills to protect themselves and their organizations.

Needed the book for school but was too expensive from B&N and my schools book store, so I checked Amazon and found it for $30 less. Its a great book, very up to date, gives great examples and comes with a CD I still haven't checked out.

Book in great condition and priced well. Seems informative so far but no other material to compare it with to say how informative it is.

This is a book about network security. It's in-depth, and informative. Like any good book out there, it has lots of pages. You can read these pages and learn information about things. Really cool.
Doesn't seem like it would break. It may be flammable, so watch out while you're smoking and reading it. I recall hearing a problem with moisture as well from another review. Pages' ink have a tendency to smear if wet. That can be avoided by not getting the book wet. Doesn't really stand up to bending. I had a dog-eared page in mine when it arrived. Almost returned it for being defective.
What do you want me to say?
It's a book. A pricey schoolbook. Would've been a fun review if I didn't NEED it and simply bought it on a whim.
In all seriousness, it's a really well written book with lots of great information. Helped me pass my class. BUY USED, SAVE COIN!
