Personally, I think the author omits too
much information that would give a fuller
appreciation and comprehension of IP
addressing. I can understand choosing not to
determine IP addresses via the binary
method, but some of the things the author
does are quicker if you have a strong
understanding of the binary relationships in
IP addressing. The author takes the multiple
addition route of a subnet's base number to
determine the subnetwork address. My belief
is that if you have a strong understanding
of binary relationships, you won't have to
whip out a calculator to add up subnet base
numbers, i.e. it will come naturally (27 =
128, 26 = 64, etc.).
Created at the time to give people resources to learn
from on their own.
With all the questions I used to field from PC
novices, this document became an efficient
educational resource.
While in
DeVry's
A+ Certification Prep-Course "COMP128 PC Systems & Networks",
I received
an 82% score on a 100
question preliminary PC knowledge test. It was a
gauge as to whether a student needed to take the
course. Along with receiving the highest score
in the class, this
document helped me test out
of the course. Because of my previous
computer research and experience, I also
received
Credit by Evaluation for Glendale Community
College's A+ Certification Prep-Course "BPC170
- Computer Maintenance I: A+ Prep".
Checklist of things to know and
do when buying a computer that I created because
no such list was included at the end of the book
for easy reference.
Also created to give people buying tips to consider before
buying a computer
Back in 1996, when I was researching information for my first
computer system, I met other computer shoppers
that didn’t know much about
computers. To add to their problem, I would
overhear sales people telling
computer shoppers
misleading or incorrect information. So, I
created this document and kept a few in my car
glove compartment to give to novice computer
buyers as I met them.
