Head First Networking, eh? I'm familiar with the Head First series, having reviewed a number of such books before. Head First books are generally successful at teaching a technical topic to a moderately to severely distractable person. I was curious how teaching networking would fit the bill, particularly since "networking" as a technology, is so vast. Head First books tend to be beginners books, so I wasn't expecting a huge amount of detail or advanced knowledge. The typical audience for this series is late high school/early college, so I thought at best, the content would more or less map to CompTIA's Network+ certification.
The authors both have "day jobs" at Salish Kootenai College, but I was surprised to discover only one of them currently works in IT. Al Anderson is the Director of Academic IT Services at the college, but Ryan Benedetti teaches Liberal Arts. I suppose one was responsible for the technical content, and the other was responsible for knowing how to write. That's just a guess, though. Actually, Benedetti was Department Head for an IT group in a previous life, according to his bio, so he does indeed know that side of the street.
