Hello my fellow nerds it's your buddy Mike Myers welcoming you to my CompTIA Network+ N10-007

1
00:09.150 --> 00:16.530
series for you to go ahead understand and learn and pass the CompTIA Network+ exam. I've got

2
00:16.530 --> 00:22.530
to tell you I teach lots and lots of courses but for me doing networking like this is probably the single

3
00:22.560 --> 00:26.340
most fun course that I teach there's a lot of reasons for that.

4
00:26.370 --> 00:31.560
First of all I'm a hardware nerd and there's few things I like better than taking some time and playing

5
00:31.560 --> 00:37.400
with switches and routers and wireless access points and intrusion detection systems.

6
00:37.470 --> 00:41.680
And man we get to play with all that stuff right here in this series.

7
00:41.730 --> 00:46.530
So just to give you an idea of some of the stuff we'll be covering like cabling and topology so you'll

8
00:46.530 --> 00:51.540
know the difference tween single mode and multi-mode fiber and what really is the difference between Cat 5 E and

9
00:51.540 --> 00:52.780
Cat 6 A.

10
00:52.800 --> 00:58.440
Not only do you understand IP addressing and when I say IP I'm talking about IP version 4 and IP version

11
00:58.440 --> 01:04.870
6 but all of the different ports knowing what TCP versus UDP versus IGMP and all that stuff. You're

12
01:04.870 --> 01:06.330
going to have that down.

13
01:06.330 --> 01:10.040
We also cover routing and I'm not just talking about little SOHO routers here.

14
01:10.140 --> 01:12.770
We're gonna get to an enterprise level on this as well.

15
01:12.840 --> 01:18.810
So dealing with things like OSPF, RIP, BGP that's all in this course as well.

16
01:18.810 --> 01:21.300
Now everybody likes wireless networking and I don't blame you.

17
01:21.570 --> 01:25.730
We're going to be looking at it from an enterprise level as well as within a SOHO level.

18
01:25.890 --> 01:30.250
And of course we've got to be talking about virtualization and cloud computing today.

19
01:30.300 --> 01:36.150
So get ready to get virtualized as we go into different types of hyper visors and setting up real virtual

20
01:36.150 --> 01:38.640
networks and making them work for a living.

21
01:38.640 --> 01:42.360
And while we're talking about things that really ought to be covered of course we're going to do plenty

22
01:42.360 --> 01:43.390
of mobile in here.

23
01:43.470 --> 01:45.920
So bring out your smartphones and your tablets.

24
01:45.960 --> 01:47.810
We're going to get those devices on a  network.

25
01:47.820 --> 01:52.630
We're going to get them configured the way you need to make sure they're running well. And last,

26
01:52.740 --> 01:59.330
and this is a big part of this course, is the concept of security and in particular not just how to do

27
01:59.330 --> 02:05.060
security but getting into the zen of security so concepts like risk management and things like that are

28
02:05.060 --> 02:07.590
also a really big part of this course.

29
02:07.610 --> 02:13.610
I love this course and I feel that this course by itself is everything you need to pass the Network+

30
02:13.610 --> 02:14.240
exam.

31
02:14.240 --> 02:22.960
However I would recommend that you also pick up a copy of my McGraw-Hill CompTIA Network+

32
02:23.290 --> 02:23.800
book.

33
02:23.830 --> 02:25.350
This book is really helpful.

34
02:25.390 --> 02:28.540
And the book and the video work very very closely together.

35
02:28.540 --> 02:30.490
They're not exact but they're pretty close.

36
02:30.580 --> 02:34.740
And if you're the type of person who enjoys reading I think you'll find this to be extremely helpful.

37
02:36.200 --> 02:41.150
The last thing you have to remember is that you're going to be taking a certification exam and if you're

38
02:41.150 --> 02:44.770
taking a certification exam you need practice questions.

39
02:44.840 --> 02:49.770
And my company Total Seminars also provides our TotalTester Online product.

40
02:49.790 --> 02:51.740
Now it's going to cost you a little extra money.

41
02:51.770 --> 02:53.320
Capitalism what can I say.

42
02:53.420 --> 02:59.840
But you'll find that good practice questions that copy the look and feel of the real exam are probably

43
02:59.840 --> 03:05.150
really helpful for you to go ahead and make sure that you pass the network plus on the first try.

44
03:05.510 --> 03:09.850
So folks you've got to get ready for this. This is a very high energy course.

45
03:09.950 --> 03:13.850
So grab your screwdrivers and let's get started learning network plus.
