Written by experienced instructors who present material using their own voices and some of their own examples, this new edition augments student understanding of course material. The new edition incorporates recently improved features to aid instructors and enhance student comprehension. Chapters align with course modules in both name and number, and chapter objectives are stated as questions to encourage students to think about and find answers as they read chapters. End-of-chapter Check Your Understanding questions and Summaries align with chapter objectives to emphasize key topics, while key terms are listed in each chapter opener in the order of occurrence to alert students to upcoming vocabulary words. In addition, key features include "How To" quick references for step-by-step tasks; real-world examples and all-new illustrations; concise explanations with a focus on word usage and sentence structure for improved readability; and Packet Tracer activities throughout.
For use within the Cisco Networking Academy Program, CCNA (Semesters 3 and 4) program of study.
Cisco Networking Academy Program CCNA 3 and 4 Companion Guide, Third Edition is a companion and supplement to the third and fourth semesters of Cisco Systems Networking Academy classes. This book will support and reinforce the Web-based training materials for the Cisco Systems Network Academy, along with topics pertaining to CCNA certification. The Networking Academy is completing a major revision of the online course (3.0) to be available in the late spring/early summer 2003. The Companion Guide will mirror these changes and enhancements. The second year course focuses on the practical applications of the topics covered in the first year course. New topics covered include Single-Area OSPF configuration, VLSM, Switch CLI commands, and additional WAN terminology and technology. The instructional materials for CCNA 3 and 4 follows the instructional style and format that Cisco has created for the Cisco Systems Networking Academy. Developed with and approved by Cisco Systems, Cisco Program Networking Academy CCNA 3 and 4 Companion Guide will provide information and presentation unmatchable by any other publisher.
For use within the Cisco Networking Academy Program, Fundamental of Java Programming course, sponsored by Sun® Microsystems. The course will offer the Networking Academies the opportunity to provide students with a course on the conceptual understanding of object-oriented programming. The course also teaches students how to use the Java language's object-oriented technologies to solve business problems. Students will learn how to create classes, objects, and applications using the language. Topics also include language fundamentals and the Java language API (application programming interface). Additionally, the course will address the demand for training and preparation for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform.
The Fundamentals of Java Programming Companion Guide book and the Web-based course will provide the student with the knowledge and understanding of the popular Java programming language.
