I was having trouble reading it on my devices because there were 2 pages squeezed onto each page side-by-side which made the print appear more than twice as small as standard, and was nearly impossible to read on my mobile devices without excessive zooming and scrolling. Well the book has recently been reformatted and is much better. Now that I am able to read it, I am finding it to be interesting, relevant, concise, well organized, and well written. Chris has provided good examples which really help the reader understand the concepts, and he has a great way of simplifying the denser content of the Cisco books and extracting the most important points to focus on for the exam. Thanks for such an "on target" book, and I'm updating my review as promised.
I've been a CCNP R&S and CCNP Security for a few years now, having used TBA for my R&S. I purchased this book to keep current with the latest exam changes, and I must say I find it much better than Cisco documentation. Hopefully CCNP ROUTE will follow, and I'm sure I'll grab it as well.
Hi,I purchased it on the UK site and while content is great as always with Chris efforts, the decision to display 2 pages on the screen of the electronic device without any means of changing the display setting is a strange one basically making it unreadable on anything smaller that full size tablet.There is a workaround though: just convert to PDF format and use freeware like "A-PDF Page Cut" to split pages vertically.The document will have a split first page and watermark on the first page plus the size will treble, but it will display as single page on the screen of my 8" table making it readable without printing.Edit: I just noticed that Chris replied to original review complaining about the format and promised that new, "single page" version of the book will be available in February.I am not sure whether this happened already, but I think that those of us who purchased the book in the previous format, should be able to download amended version free of charge.
Excellent book...Everything was written in plain words..Better than the Cisco books that are WAAAY complicated..The only issue is that it doesn't have an index neither a summary to look for an specific information, but so far is the best CCNP Switch book I've seen...Easy to understand, cutting to the chase, straight forward information..No nonsense technical issue without a very simple explanation,,Well done..
I love Chris Bryant and his material but this format is just not good. I am reading the book on Kindle for PC. It shows 2 pages at a time squeezed onto the screen. I don't see a way to make it a single page. The print is kind of small and actual CLI commands in the book are faint. I have a 22 inch monitor and still struggle to read this at times. You can make the print larger but then you have to scroll up and down and sideways to read everything. I am a tech guy and don't like paper but I almost wish I had ordered the hard copy.
Chris is a great teacher, i like the way he presents the content, which is ready good. My only problem with it is the side-by-side 2 page display, I have to turn my tablet sideways to read it, makes for shorter pages and not as easy to read.Update - 21 April 16Just downloaded the new version and I like the formatting. If the content is the same I know it will be great.BTW Chris, it's a Dell Venue 10 running Android.
As always, Chris provides good stuff that is easy to follow and in my mind blows CBT Nuggets away. His stuff is even above Ken Wallace that does the Cisco sponsored videos. Find Chris's 300-115 video course and you will have what it takes to pass the exam the first time.
Very Good read. I like the fact that he got straight to the point cutting off all of the extra bs you get from reading Cisco books. Really entertaining book, I'm planning on take the exam around the end of June. I would give the Book Five Stars but feel that he used to much abbreviations where sometimes I don't know what he's talking about, but other than that this is a excellent book.
