Re: CCNA books Sybex or Cisco press ?
I used only the Sybex book and passed the CCNA with a 944. On the CCDA I again used only the Sybex book and passed with a 834. Those books seem to work for me so I'm going to stick with them. I've heard that other's who posted here don't care for the Sybex books and swear by Cisco Press. I guess you just need to look through both and select the one that appeals to you.

Re: CCNA books Sybex or Cisco press ?
Sybex v/s Cisco Press.. interesting debate... and I think we haven't had enough of it. I used both - the Todd Lammle book as well as the CCNA Exam Certification Guide (Wendell Odom, Cisco Press) for CCNA 1.0. Believe me, it pays off to read both. For Microsoft certifications, the MS Press books were sufficient, more or less. For Cisco certifications, the Cisco Press books are a big help. Mostly, the language is remarkably similar to the Cisco tests, imho. So if you've read the Cisco Press books, you are bound to immediately recollect stuff from the book when you read the test questions. Correct me if I'm wrong folks - but that's been my experience. I understood switching concepts like Spanning Tree & VLANs much better form the Cisco Press book than Lammle. Not to belittle the Lammle book - it's an excellent and focussed book, highly recommended for the test. You could pass the test by reading the Lammle book alone. Maybe being inundated with material isn't such a bad thing afterall... Now only if I could find something to soothe my nerves... I tend to get real nervous starting 2-3 days before the test... any tips ? (And this is happening only for the Cisco tests. MS was a breeze comparatively... :-) Bharat Suneja "ian gomeche" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 013401bffa13$59fae240$f6bc49c2@oemcomputer">news:013401bffa13$59fae240$f6bc49c2@oemcomputer... > Luther wrote: > > Subject: passed CCNA.. now what? any recommendations? > > Hi I recently passed CCNA v1.0 .. and was wondering if anyone could help me > interms of what I should be doing next?

Re: CCNA books Sybex or Cisco press ?
Personally I am studying to take the CCNA WAN Switching exam next fall, were some of the material learned will cross over to the CCNP WAN Switching exam for specialization after completion of the CCNP exams. I have heard a good place to start studing for the CCNP exams is the BSCN. I figure I will study the old ACRC books by Cisco Press and Todd Lamle, then save up and buy the other newer books. I am also going to buy the older CLSC book since I know that has good material in it. ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CCNA books Sybex or Cisco press ?
Luther wrote: Subject: passed CCNA.. now what? any recommendations? Hi I recently passed CCNA v1.0 .. and was wondering if anyone could help me interms of what I should be doing next? I gather CCNP v2.0 is the most logical step I should be taking. Which exam should I take first? .. and what text books can anyone recommend to me? For my CCNA i used: 1. CCNA by Sybex (i didnt like this book very much) 2. Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices by Cisco Press - I loved this book!.. yes I know this is geared towards CCNA v2.0.. but I found it excellent in my studies for v1.0 (which i scored 925/1000 on). I really prefer to invest my money in cisco press books from now on.. -- Well that is an interesting observation Luther. As someone who has just ordered the Sybex Lammle CCNA study guide (latest 507 edition note folks) , exam guide and e-lab simulator thing, I was very interested in what Luther had to say. I have now ordered the CISCO press internetworking book as well but am thinking of cancelling Lammle's books. Perhaps I should stick with both as I am sure each has useful stuff in which the other does not have and a lot of people seem to rate Lammle Any comments anyone on the relative merits of the two books? Thanks everyone. BTW someone (i won't say who but he knows) posted what a star he was for passing CCNA ...in HTML therefore also telling the whole list what a pillock he is.
