How This Book Is Organized

Each hour in Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 24 Hours, Third Edition begins with a quick introduction and a list of goals for the hour. You'll also find the following elements.

Main Section

Each hour contains a main section that provides a clear and accessible discussion of the hour's topic. You'll find figures and tables helping to explain the concepts described in the text. Interspersed with the text are special elements called By The Way, New Terms, and Did You Know?. These elements come with definitions, descriptions, or warnings that will help you build a better understanding of the material.

By the Way

These boxes clarify a concept that is being discussed in the text. A By The Way might add some additional information or provide an example, but they typically aren't essential for a basic understanding of the subject. If you're in a hurry, or if you only want to know the bare essentials, you can bypass these sidebars.


New Terms are definitions. You might see a New Term element with an important word or concept that can't be easily described in the main text or isn't directly related to the main text.

Did you Know?

A Did You Know? is a shortcut designed to save you time.


Q&A

Each hour ends with some questions designed to help you explore and test your understanding of the concepts described in the hour. Complete answers to the questions are also provided.

Workshops

Some of the hours that are oriented around real-life configuration topics include Workshops exercises designed to help you through the details or give you practice with a particular task. Not all hours have Workshops. You'll find them only in hours where a little real-world exploration will help build a better understanding of the material. Even if you don't have the necessary software and hardware to undertake some of the exercises in the Workshop, you might benefit from reading through the exercises to see how to proceed in a real network implementation.

Key Terms

Each hour includes a summary of important key terms that are introduced in the hour. The key terms are compiled into an alphabetized list at the end of each hour.
