Let's give Todd a break. My personal experience has
been that when I convinced my school to switch from
the Cisco Press ICRC book to Lammle's study notes for
CCNA, interest in the reading went up enormously.
Every comment on the Cisco ICRC book was "boring,
unreadable", while the Lammle book seems to be written
by a human being. The whole purpose of these tests is
not to show mastery of a program or device, but to
show that a person is TRAINABLE. This is what
companies are looking for. Personally, I could give
all my students the answers to the CCNA in the first
two weeks of my class, but that would be true
dilution. I make them earn it by doing labs that
encompass all the concepts on the test, as well as
assigned reading from Lammle. The ones who get the
certs are the ones who deserve it, not the ones who
just try to take the shortest and easiest path.
Also, one more thing on Cisco Press: How many pages
are there in ICRC on the important test topic of ISDN?
Answer: 1 sentence.
At least Lammle has four or five pages.....
