Illustrated Tcp/Ip (Wiley Illustrated Network Series) Review by anonymous
Errors Aside - A Great Book
If what you need is a detailed reference of the bits and bytes, this is not the right book. If what you need is familiarization with the concepts and basics of TCP/IP buy this book.
In general, I find very few technical books that are error free. Most of the errors could best be caught by the editing and publishing process. This book, as pointed out, has a few errors. None of these errors detract from its value as a top level reference and explanation of the spectrum of functions and facilities provided by TCP/IP.
The included PowerPoint slides are generally error free, and are worth the price of the book. These slides are made from the illustrations in the book (wish they were visio, but ...). The book provides the equivalent of notes, or facing page text for these illustrations.
Get Comer or Stevens if you need the technical details. Get this if you need to figure out what TCP/IP is and how to use it.
