Review: Well written and structured, clear and concise - This is an excellent resource for a beginner to learn about networking. It is written in clear English, and explains jargon step by step, using easily understood language and applied real world examples of how the internet works. Its structured logically, starting right at the beginning - don't get impatient when it starts with early telephone lines and how they worked. At first, I was slightly impatient and couldn't really see how relevant to the internet this info would be, but it is all tied in and explained, and the author doesn't spend too long on the preliminaries, quickly moving on the point. The background helps give historical perspective and serves to better explain later concepts. Info is recapped nicely at the beginning of each new chapter or section, and tied in well to the next part, so that you can see how it all hangs together. I've not finished it yet, as am going slowly and taking notes, as won't remember all the jargon and terms, if I just read straight through it, although you could well also do that, and give yourself an overview. The book would also be suitable to look up specific terms, if you didn't want to know all the details, but to just understand one aspect, as the recapping at the start of each section gives enough background to be able understand the content, although you'd obviously miss some context. This an "old-school" book, so isn't jazzed up with unnecessary images and diagrammes, those included serve to help explain the content, rather than just add to the file size, as I find with some ebooks. I had no problems with the images not loading (I opened the book in Adobe Reader, Calibre Library and Apple's ibooks, as well as the Kindle Desktop app). Even without any of the images, you would be able to read the book and understand the content very well, the images used are not essential to the learning, just enhance it. Also, there are no spelling and grammar mistakes, as so often found in cheap ebooks, the lay-out works very well for an ebook, too. Overall, am very impressed with this book for the price and would definitely recommend.
Review: A Useful Introduction to the basic concept as per Title. - This book is a useful Introduction to the basic concepts of IT networking as per it's Title. However, it does not go beyond that to the practicalities of setting up and configuring a network effectively.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simple and very good introduction to Networks
*by G***N on 13 April 2017*

I have read a number of books in order to grasp the basics of Networks and seemingly wasted a small fortune. This is the 1st title I have read to present the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model through a different lens - the TCP/IP model. This title explains the various layers of the OSI model using an approach for building network hardware/software. I feel I have a better understanding of the Domain Name System (DNS), IP routing, the Transport Layer and the Application Layer. Various topics are explained using helpful illustrations and drawing parallels with other life examples. Recommended reading for the curious about networks or anyone about to start a networking course for the basics.
