I've just finished reviewing the following: Cisco Networking Academy Program: First Year Companion Guide (Second Edition) ISBN 1587130254 and Cisco Networking Academy Program: Second Year Companion Guide (Second Edition) ISBN 1587130297 Both come with CD-ROM and as a complete course for CCNA 2.0 #640-507 are excellent in both the book and the CD. For people new to Cisco they are not only concise but will allow you to get through the CompTIA Network + Exam as a confidence builder for the CCNA Exam. In the UK I bought both books from a small specialist store in UK (www.pcbooks.co.uk) for #25-99 each (about $42 US each Volume). One of the nice things about both books is the CD-ROM leads you through the CLI Commands interactively. The CD is quite a piece of Interactive and Multi-Media Learning. Having looked through many resources for CCNA its nice to see that Cisco itself is thinking about the manner and presentation of its education and of course these books dovetail nicely with other courses i.e. ICND and other Web (E-Learning) Offerings. Before anyone says it - no I have no shares in the Cisco or Cisco Press.......not ideal just at this time chaps is it, better days ahead.
