Cisco book for beginners

There are so many Cisco books out there, which one do you recommend for someone starting out on the Cisco path?
I have the book "Cisco Intro" which is quite basic, what is the next level?

Actually, a good place to get a good basic understanding on a Cisco site:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/
This is the online version of Cisco's Internetworking book. It covers most topis at a basic level, but still gives you a good idea of how all the various technologies and protocols relate to each other.
Beyond that, most / any of the CCNA study books would be good. Which one works best for you is going to depend on you ... of the spectrum of available books, you need to find one that fits your preference.
Many people find the Todd Lammie books very good, some don't like his style of presentation. It's an individual thing.
Go to a book store when you have some spare time, read a similar chapter from several CCNA books, and decide which one works best for you.
Good Luck
Scott

  • DVD start menus and books for beginners

    I would like to make a custom start menu using a jpg graphic and my own music.  It would just have 2 options start video and scene selection.
    I was fumbling around with PE11 yesterday and did it by accident.  I added the picture and then added the audio with drag and drop....but when I tried to do it again, I could not remember what I selected.
    Also is there a good book for beginners?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Pending further information, this is what I came up with using
    Premiere Elements 11 Windows
    General/Grid
    and its matrix_pal_s_mm.psd (for main menu) and its matrix_pal_s_sm.psd (for scene menu)
    My Photoshop Elements is presently not allowing me to open the Photoshop Layer Sets in the .psd files, so I picked the above theme so I could get around having to do that.
    This is the first try result
    Main Menu....
    Scene Menu
    I tried it out in a DVD-VIDEO standard on DVD, and it did not look that bad.
    My advice is to look at the theme as is to see what it is all about, and, if interested in getting a look like above, I will give you the step by step. But, you will need Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for the background exchanges. I did not find a theme where I could get a clean enough background replacement with just the customization within the Movie Theme section of the program. Again, Photoshop Elements that will not open the Layers Sets is OK in this instance since we are not opening any Layers Sets, we are just replacing backgrounds at the .psd level rather than within the project.
    If interested, I will post further details which should be quick and easy to follow.
    Thanks.

  • Books for beginners

    Hi is there any good books for beginners in java i would like to buy one for reading over the holidays. To go over what i have learn during the year.Thank you.

    I'm sure that there are a great many books on the subject..... one book that I never see among lists that are available on Q/A forums like this is "Introduction To Java Programming 7ed by Y. Daniel Liang." I am still just a beginner like most on this forum, so why would I be so biased? Well I do not own the majority of books on any list, but I can say that my book explains things on an elementary level, up to very advanced. How do I know that? The chapters are many, from; Chap 1, "Intro to computers, programs, and Java programming," to chap 37, "Java Database Programming." Practically every chapter is supplemented with a breadth of work using the current Java classes that are available to anyone, but also many end of chapter questions that reflect reasonable "leaps" form basic to advanced. It includes much more from the companion website as well. In short, you write the programs in the chapter questions, and in doing so become very acquainted with the API. I like the "Head First" book, because it can give a nice angle on a complex subject as well. However, the "Head First" book is kinda written for a separate contingency. If you want to learn to program, you must have many problems to try and destroy. This seems to be the key. You must have the means to try something and try again in order to know where your prior mistakes are. When you realize how you made a mistake, you simply correct it, and this is the very biggest part of learning anything about programming. You have to screw things up on your own!
    Again, I am just a beginner like you. But by learning basics, with appropriate chunks of the API, I wind up with an expanding toolkit from chapter to chapter. Get a book that will do this for you. Many books will give you examples for things that you should never be worrying about at first. Then you get used to a "cut/paste" type of situation. Do you really know what you are doing then? Do you think you will get a fantastic response from a learners forum like this? Take it seriously and get the best book you can. It should be very broad reaching and explanatory as well. When I flip through the book that I own, I wonder how I will get to those places. Yet every time that I finish a chapter, I am prepared for the next..... and on it goes. It takes time, and a short book is unrealistic. No book is perfect, but a wise first choice will be priceless.
    Hope this helps. Peace.

  • A good Java book for beginners?

    Hello
    I am new to Java language. This year I will go in university (computer science major) so I thought I could study a bit during the summer. So I have choosen to learn the basics (or more) of the Java language. I dont know any other programming languages (So I am completely new to programming too).
    I would like to know which is the best online-downloadable book with which I could start to learn the basics of Java (using the Sun's SDK or Borland's JBuilder Personal)? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
    P.S. Is it good to learn programming using Java as the first language? A friend of mine told me that is better to start with C, then continue with Java.

    Everyone will say that the language they first learnt is the language you should start off with. Java is a good as any language to start with. Whether to by a book or use an online tutorial depends on you.
    Online tutorial are up-to-date, but require a good internet connection and plenty of access to a computer.
    Books can be carried around (read in bed etc.) but learning about computers away from a computer is weird.
    A good book (to download in PDF or buy in a shop) is "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel. It takes you from beginner to expert, in only 1,125 pages!!
    If that's not your thing, try the sun tutorials, links on your left.
    good luck

  • Good JSP book for beginners to intermediate level

    Hi:
    I want to buy one book, could you suggest one?
    how is "JSP 2.0: The Complete Reference, Second Edition"?
    thanks.
    -Z

    well, that depends very much on your background. If you are really new to JSP and Java, I would suggset 'SAMS Teach Yourself JavaServer Pages in 21 days' by Steven Holzner. It is very simplified and easy to understand. However, note that since it is some basic, it doesn't cover a lot of in-depth details.

  • Best Practical JSP Book for PHP developer

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to JSP and want learn basics of JSP so that I can do simple web page works.
    I am a PHP developer with one and half years of experience.
    Can anybody tell me what is the best JSP book for beginners or any web link with lots of simple jsp example?
    --Sujoy                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

    Before you learn JSP, you need to learn Java. I heard 'Head First in Java' is a good book. Install Eclipse IDE (its free) and work through some of the book's examples in it (as you read the book from cover to cover). Then Install Tomcat (its free) and the tomcat plugin for Eclipse (its free). Then read a book on JSP (cover to cover). I like the book 'JSP in action'. It covers both JSP and servlets. Then, create a hello world JSP in Eclipse, then a hello world servlet in Eclipse.

  • What is the best up-to-date, reliablely accurate book for learning PowerShell?

    Hi,
    In my previous thread, I asked why "get-disk" gave me an exception.  Thanks to this forum, I found out that WIN 7, doesn't support the cmdlet.  The book I'm using did not mention this information.  In fact, he distinctly lists
    Windows 7, SP 1 as a viable OS for the commands he wants the reader to perform.  I lost hours on this error. 
    Se la vie. 
    However, I now doubt the book and don't have time to ferret out additional errata.  So, if anyone has a suggestion for a trustworthy book for beginners, please share your knowledge.
    Many thanks!
