Hucaby R-O-C-K-S!!! This one is a winner., By Darby B Weaver Jr. (Orlando, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cisco Firewall Video Mentor (Video Learning) (Paperback)
I'm a fairly seasoned Cisco PIX/ASA Firewall Administrator. I've been around for a few years supporting several enterprise/campus networks and worked for a few Fortune 500 companies as the Firewall Administrator.I love this product. Especially the clear and concise explanations for using multiple contexts. These explanations are very clear and very much build on the previous topic. The author is clear and smooth in his expert delivery of the topic. This is excellent. I own most of his books and I've used them on the job. But I never heard Huccaby deliver this material. He's top notch and clearly an expert's expert. I think this product is an excellent value and would highly recommend it to anyone who supports with the Cisco ASA or the Cisco FWSM (Firewall Service Module). Good job David. Thanks for an excellent product I can easily recommend to others. My sincerest compliments. Darby Weaver

Excellent learning tool for the cisco firewall devices,
This review is from: Cisco Firewall Video Mentor (Video Learning) (Paperback)
The Cisco Firewall Video Mentor (ISBN:1587201984) by David Hucaby is a step-by-step video training guide for configuring the PIX or ASA firewall and is a must for beginner and intermediate level engineers. Hucaby is a natural at teaching and the video and audio make for a smooth learning experience. It comes with a handy 90 page book that follows labs but is also a great command and process reference guide to keep at your desk.Hucaby moves along fairly quickly so you never get bored and it's easy to stop the video if you need to do a bit more research. Because he moves at a perfect speed, I found myself watching areas that I was already familiar with because I wanted to see if there was something he might do differently. I never felt as though I had wasted my time after finishing any of the sections. One thing I really like about this is you can be completely new to Cisco and he gives you the essential tools you need to know to hit the ground running. I feel... Read more |
