| I don't have either. I have the Cisco Press Study kit so I can't comment on them. But I do have the Sybex CCNA study book and saw his video. The video was AWFUL (glad a coworker bought it and not me), and I found the CCNA study guide "Lite". In addition to my Cisco Press books, I have the CCDA study guide by Syngress (sp?) and find that I REALLY LIKE the format of that book.

| I don't have either book, but I did have Todd Lammle's CCNA book, and I didn't like it. His writing style did not make it easy for me.
I work with two other people that are working on Cisco Certifications and both recommend the Cisco Press Top-Down Network Design. One of these guys passed his CCDA using this book and the Cisco Press Designing Cisco Networks.
I own both of the Cisco Press books. I'm just starting Top-Down Network Design, and I finished Designing Cisco Networks.
I found Designing Cisco Networks a fairly easy read, but the case studies could be somewhat confusing.
Good luck

| I thought the Sybex book was decent for CCNA, though a bit on the lite side. However, I've read both Sybex and Cisco for the exam and the Cisco is better for CCDA. | |

| You can buy the Poplar book directly from the publisher (http://www.bfq.com/insidescoop) for about $30 plus $5 shipping. Or you can get a .pdf version for $20 and use your company's printer to make a book 
It has the beachfront quizzer test engine included.
I'm just getting to this exam, so I will definitely know in a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned! |
