Question

Books on Networking?

Aug 29, 2016 3:17AM PDT

Hi
Would anyone be able to recommend a good book for beginners on Computer Networking. I see that there are For Dummies books out there but not sure what they're like.

Any suggestions.
Thanks

I suggest you spend a little time at book stores if the web isn't cutting it for you.

Google this: YouTube Networking Tutorials.

My son does this a lot now. He's 23 and doesn't want to ask for help.

YouTube is your new public library.

I have a few "dummies" book. I really like them for beginner. It's easy reading, easy to understand. Of course it might not cover all the latest technology though.
