Professor Creates His Own Cisco Manual

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the a-manual-manual dept.

yootje writes "ZDnet is running a story about a professor who made his own Cisco networking textbook, with 800 pages: "Computing instructor Matt Basham's suggestions for improving Cisco Systems' official training manuals fell on deaf ears for years. But he appears to have the networking giant's attention now." The professor made his book available for free on his website."

    Once you're done slashdotting it, I'll see what I can do to convert it.

    OpenOffice save as PDF rocks.

    Networks need manuals? I thought you just had to make sure no-one knocked the patch cables out.

      It's not hard fixing a disconnected cable, I am sure the majority of the book is probably a guide to hunting and finding lost token's (best hiding spots, migratory patterns, reactions of cornered tokens, ect)

    "It's a 5.1MB Microsoft Word file."

    So it's only three pages long? Somehow I expected more.

    I can't agree more, Doyle's TCP/IP I&II are two of the best books I have ever read. Don't mod me funny, I am not kidding.
