Although I agree with your other statements, I can't agree that the text and figures at their site are obtainable for free from anywhere else. Howard and many of the other authors at www.certificationzone.com have an entirely unique way of explaining technologies. They make it fun to learn the material and they are dedicated to making sure the material is accurate and relevant. Not only that, but many of the www.certification.com authors have had unique experiences involving the development of some of the protocols covered. As just one example, there isn't another person on the planet who lived so intimately with the development of AppleTalk (at least I hope not! ;-) See my paper on AppleTalk at the Zone. Of course, not many people care about AppleTalk any more, but perhaps they should. A lot of AppleTalk themes (dynamic configuration, automated service location) are finally coming around to the IP world too. Many of the other authors have even more direct experience with the development and deployment of the technologies covered in the white papers. I do wish CertificationZone would fix the ARP paper though. An ARP packet does not have an IP header. I bugged and bugged them about this and they never fixed it.
