Both authorities in the field.  I've coauthored RFC2071 with Paul,
who is a consulting engineer for Cisco, and Geoff is another author
in the Wiley Networking Council series. He's the technical guru for
Telstra in Australia.

Geoff has a newer book that goes beyond the Quality of Service book,
dealing with ISP performance issues.

Since I'm in the process of turning in the final copy edit today for
my new book, The WAN Survival Guide, believe me, I know there can be
errors. And I caught a few things my copy editor didn't. My technical
reviewer is Scott Bradner, but there are some things that even he
didn't spot.  Frankly, this is one reason I prefer writing things on
the design side -- the concepts are important, and there's less of a
danger of screwing up things by getting a command syntax wrong.

There's no simple answer. An author can proof his own work only to a
certain extent.  Your eye sees what you meant, not necessarily what
you wrote. At the larger publishers, you can't expect the copy editor
to spot technical problems.  One of the nice things about
CertificationZone is that Erik Roy, Ken Fleming, and Rob Roy, who are
at varying stages of the editing process, are getting familiar enough
with the subject matter to backstop me.

Even though RFCs literally are read by dozens of experts while being
drafted, there can be bugs that don't show up until implementation.

It certainly doesn't help when the real exam is looking for an answer
that is technically wrong, but was taken from the Cisco courseware.

The best I can suggest, in exam studies, is never to rely on one
source alone.  If for no other than it's easier to learn something
presented from one viewpoint, it's a good idea not to depend on a
single book.  Don't be afraid to go back and verify things in the
original standards.

Technical Book Editing - WAS: CCNA v2.0 Todd Lammle Book

2000-08-06 Thread Chuck Larrieu

This is a topic maddening to all involved. Some things are preventable. Some
aren't. Some things there is no excuse for.

Long past history, but the first edition of the Syngress CCNA book had some
rather egregious errors - wrong network numbers and the like. I no longer
have the book, but I recall one where the question talked about subnet X and
the only answers were subnets A, B, and C. And I mean whole classes of
networks wrong.

I'm currently reading a very good book called Quality of Service by Paul
Ferguson and Geoff Huston. What mars my enjoyment are a number of simple
spelling errors - fat finger kinds of things. It is as if the editor just
decided not to use his spell checker  because of all the technical terms it
would choke on. The result is quite unprofessional.

I have even found a technical error or two in books by some rather well
known participants in this group.

These things do not necessarily diminish the value of these sources. But
they can lead to a lot of frustration, particularly among folks just
starting out.

I wish that I had a copy of 507 here to see the error
- can you provide the specifics for all? Todd did not
include an RJ-45 pinout in 407. I have a feeling that
the error is not in 407 regarding F/R - a quick look
failed to note it.

As an author I appreciate the concession regarding
typos - unfortunately they can still confuse new
readers - but I can say that with the authors,
technical editors, copy editors, and proofreaders that
every attempt is made to prevent them.

there's one more I just saw right now:

Re: CCNA v2.0 Todd Lammle Book

2000-08-06 Thread Kenneth

Yeah, it's the 507 and here are the pages:
1) page 40 = RJ-45 connector pinouts --> it shows from 8-1, should've been
1-8. It's ok if it was done this way with a straight cable (although
unrecommended) but he showed the crossover cable pinouts in the non-reversed
order.
2) page 499 = int s0.16 point-to-point --> I think this should have been
multi-point...
3) page 457 = router(config)#ipx input-sap-filter ---> he should have
included the access-list number as in: ipx input-sap-filter list# to show
the reader that there is parameters to be entered after the command.

Hope this helps.

There are a lot of errors on this book I agree. Here's 2 of them I
can think of off the top of my head without looking at the book:

1) The pinouts on the RJ-45
2) The frame relay example on multi-point (i think, or was it
point-to-point).

I think it's mostly typo but someone who's not familiar with it might
take it as it is. Other than occassional typos, I think the book is
very good.

Marco -

Would you please provide an example or two to the
group. I have worked with Todd for many years, and
while folks may take issue with writing styles, I find
it difficult to believe that 'Mr. CCNA' would have
many errors. The guy has trained hundreds to pass the
test and understand the material. If there are errors,
then please do all of us a favor and call them out to
augment the learning process.

Thanks.

I would recommend reading Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices for
the 507 exam.  Also, if you didn't purchase the Lammle book as "an
actual informative source" then what did you buy it for?  Expensive paper
weight I'd say! :)

CCNA v2.0 Todd Lammle Book

2000-08-05 Thread Marco Rodrigues

Not be to rude or anything, but this book is very poorly
written. Luckily I have some previous experience and wasn't relying on
this as an actual informative source. There are some many mistakes, that
are not even in the errata.

Can anyone out there recommend another source of information for
the 507 exam? I'm reading all the white papers on certificationzone.com
and they are very well written and informative.

Thanks!
