Cisco Portable Command Reference - or similar - recommended???

BadBoy House

Since I've been working my way through the CCENT book and whilst I've been playing around with my home lab I've been keeping a list of all the commands I've learned in a little notebook. I've found it quite useful but noticed that cisco press do a Command Reference book.

Is the book well worth buying or am I better of sticking to my current method of noting down commands and what they do as and when I learn them?

I was browsing around a book store the other day and came across this. I don't know it compares to any of the other command books but I was quite pleased with it. However, I personally prefer typing the commands in myself and viewing the output as well as writing them down. It just sinks in better for me that way.

The book is great for review -- and a week or month later when you come back to your notes and can't read them. But it doesn't replace doing what it takes to learn the commands in the first place.
