Introduction to Local Area Networks

Readers of this book will learn about Local Area Networks (LAN) through the analysis of case studies that explore common operating systems, network services, security, and more! Each chapter of this innovative book develops a concrete foundation in LAN concepts and applications by exposing readers to a variety of situations and networks. A back-of-book CD-ROM that contains PowerPoint Presentations gives detailed examples of what a business presentation for each case study would look like. Excel spreadsheets are also included so that users can input costs and other data to fashion their own "real world" presentations for a hands-on learning experience.
