Network Ninja

Network NinjaNetwork Ninja (book)

Print: $39.95

This book is about "the way things work." It's a quick, straight to the point reference for various networking concepts, targeted at the middle-level network engineer. Instead of memorizing tidbits of information to pass a test, gain a real understanding about the protocols and concepts you need to use. See Also: http://OmniTraining.net/networkninja

    After reading Network Ninja, you will:
  • Understand the protocols you work with, in a manner that actually makes them useful for solving real-world problems.
  • Be able to configure a switch, router, or OS, from any vendor, with little effort -- because you will understand what you're doing, not just one vendor's way of doing it.
  • Use your knowledge to explain previously mysterious phenomena.
  • Explain these concepts to junior network engineers, and become their mentor.

The book you can't afford to miss! If you're serious about networking, or being a network or systems administrator, you won't find a better book to help you along your way to success.

Ninjas think in terms of "what is this protocol supposed to do, and how can I use that?" instead of "what did they tell me would happen?" when designing and troubleshooting networks.

"It is rare that I run across something that is directed to that level of audience that is clear, balanced, and correct" -- John Klensin, IETF/ICANN
