    5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up - newest CCDA study guide, August 9, 2011
    This review is from: CCDA 640-864 Official Cert Guide (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
    I used the newest revision of the CCDA study guide to pass the 640-864 exam in mid July. I found the updates to the Cisco design models to reflect the current state of networks and more importantly I thought the book was a great introduction/update for anyone in a network design capacity. I found the book easy to read and full of useful content! Strong recommendation here.

    This review is from: CCDA 640-864 Official Cert Guide (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
    A couple of months ago I had the privilege to read an advance e-book version of this new certification guide for the Cisco Certified Design Associate written by Anthony Bruno and Steve Jordan. Cisco Press is bundling this e-book with a new test engine. Unlike previous certification guides, this new test engine is not from Boson. The test engine was very user friendly and the test material was well designed.

    The book itself is very well laid out. Although it is thick with theory about network design to meet the needs of those studying for the CCDA exam, it also has many real world examples. These examples make the theory easier to understand and internalize.

    As with most of the Cisco Press certification guides, there are plenty of questions within the chapters to help the reader self assess their progress. My favorite feature is the memory table appendix. These are a great way to prepare for the test. My goal when I prepare for a test is to use the memory... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Compare vs 3rd Edition, October 27, 2011
    This review is from: CCDA 640-864 Official Cert Guide (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
    I'm able to review the 4th edition versus the 3rd edition. The new edition contains the additional topics: Data Center, Video (included with VoIP), Final Prep at the back of the book, and "Memory Tables". "Memory Tables" are interesting in that they would be the 50 or so pages I would print out and use as my "Book Notes". My study method includes the writing out the notes from the book, and my notes would go on those pages. The new edition has dropped IS-IS (just in case you were looking for that topic).
