The ABCs of Network Administration

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns the world of network administration into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize. Each letter introduces a core concept of keeping networks alive, from Access Points and Bandwidth to Zero Downtime. With simple language, witty nods to server room realities, and a tour through everything from CAT6 Cables and DNS Servers to VLANs and WAN Links, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly accurate primer on what network admins actually do all day (and night - see O for On Call). Along the way, little ones will discover Firewalls, Gateways, Helpdesk Tickets, IP Addresses, Jumbo Frames, and more, while the grown-ups in the room quietly nod at jokes about Latency, Patch Panels, and the eternal quest for Uptime. Perfect as a gift for network engineers, sysadmins, IT professionals, and anyone who has ever filed a Helpdesk Ticket or searched a Knowledge Base at 2 a.m., this is an ABCs book with just enough truth to make you laugh - and just enough Redundancy to make sure the message gets through.
