• Make the connections: The Chapter Map aligns chapters in Applied Networking Labs to chapters from several popular networking textbooks so instructors and students can see which projects correlate to the content being presented in class.
• Gain real-world experience: Approximately 80 hands-on projects give students real-world experience using actual software that may not be presented in a traditional textbook.
• Get the picture: Project Screenshots will be unique due to who is taking it and when it is taken—any sharing or cheating will be obvious.
• Access further resources: The Website for this book contains useful resources, links, and files.
• Keep your course up-to-date: This edition is Microsoft Windows 7® Professional compliant, contains a Microsoft Windows Server 2012® chapter, expanded Linux coverage, and updated software versions for all projects.
