Todd Lammle's CompTIA Network+ Study Guide

shyguyIT

Hello,

I recently passed my A+ exam and going for my Network+ next. I would like to know if anyone has used this book as their primary source for study before I buy it. Also any other books I should take a look at would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just finished Mike Meyers' book last week and should be testing by the end of this week. I find his writing / instructional style perfect for my taste.

I will say there are a lot of *Note* sections with additional info that is not relevant for the test. You can just skip this stuff, but for me, I really enjoy the deeper understanding of how some standards, etc have evolved. For this reason, I really enjoyed his book.

I used Todd Lammle's book (Sybex) and it is a good resource.
Remember to check out the Professor Messer's Network+ training videos as well.

Thanks Trashman after looking at both Lammle's and Meyer's books I decided to go with Lammle. I will definitely watch Professor Messer's Network+ videos as well.

I take the Net+ this Friday and the videos the Professor Messer has on the Net+ helped clarify much of the material for me.

I also used Testout and the Exam Cram book. The Exam Cram was more useful as a quick reference. I used Testout for my Sec+ also. I liked it.

I have also only heard good things about Todd Lammle's books.

I think CompTIA study guide should do you justice and i agree with Trashman's advise you should watch professor messor's videos.

Good luck all the best!!!

I am using the sybex book as well. Its seems in depth enough and is a rather short read. Let me know what you think of the other book. I may go through that one next week after I'm done with lammle. I am sure you can't go wrong with either.

I liked Mike Meyers for Net+ as opposed to Todd Lammle's. However, Todd Lammle's does go in more depth. It also probably better prepares you for the CCENT/CCNA if you plan to take it soon after.
