Title: Not up to normal Dummies par
Review: I used the CISSP for Dummies to assist a friend in studying for his CISSP cert, which he got.So, when looking at Security+, I opted to purchase the Dummies book.I'm on page 32 and have found some troubling errors.1) The description of a switch (layer 2 switch) is incorrect. Drawing a comparison to a bridge would have been more accurate than saying a "smart hub."2) SQL is NOT an example of a Session Layer. SQL is a syntax interface for an RDBMS (relational database management system), which uses a solution specific connector.If I keep finding these minor fudges, I'm going to doubt how useful this book will be to me.In the past, I've found that despite the "dummies" moniker, the technical books are usually well written and accurate. More importantly, they often span skill levels, talking to audiences of all levels.This was a disappointment. I normally wait to review a book until I finish, but I'm a tad annoyed with this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
