New Network Warrior out in May 2011

Orvar

I was about to buy Donahues' 'Network Warrior' on amazon when I noticed there's a new one out in May, has anyone heard anything about this new release? Would it be worth waiting for the new one or should I just get the current edition?

I'd say get it now -- or at least keep an eye on the O'Reilly site for one of their eBook deals.

And then upgrade in May if you are working with the latest/greatest Cisco Technology like the Nexus 7000.

Hey great find! I loved the book, i wonder what new updates it truly has, other than the nexus 7000 material. Here are some links if anyone wants further information.

Amazon.com: Network Warrior (9781449387860): Gary A. Donahue: Books

Get a free trial on Safari Books Online and read it on your PC

Then when the new one comes out, buy the hard copy (or keep Safari and read it there, your choice)

And thanks for letting us know about it, that's a cool book and I've always wanted the actual book. Now I will wait until May.

What a great book...i'm still reading the current version but i would love to see what topics they have expanded on. I use this book for troubleshooting all the time because it is written from the perspective of a Network Engineer that has to deal with day to day issues. It will stay on my bookshelf for years to come. I am using it as a primer to get started in my ROUTE studies for the CCNP.

Sounds like a book I need to pick up.

Everyone seems to rave about this book....

Parts of the NW book will seem noobish on first read, but if you take the time to read the whole thing you will find it worthwhile

And one of these days I will actually read the whole book, but after this thread I think I will wait until May

Orvar

If it is an updated edition I think I'll wait till May as well. No info on the authors website tho.
Wasn't sure if it was ok to post links to amazon.

I'm only a CCNA but I can see that being one of those books that will always stay on my desk all dogeared and full of post-it's.

I can't find the new Network Warrior book.
If it comes out, I might get the ebook version of it.

I currently have the 2nd edition. I haven't finished it yet.

According to O'Reilly the 2nd edition will be published in May 2011

Either you are a time traveller or the O'Reilly site is wrong

the last section of Network Warrior (the one on not being the IT jerk and how to deal with management) should be required reading for anyone entering an IT profession

I think I'm honestly missing the boat on this IT thing. Maybe I should be writing books,lol.

Oh crap, you are right. I have the 1st edition. That was my mistake.
