Free Stuff,
IT Books,
Networking
It's like this, except with books instead of gold and possibly fewer pirates.
Ok, so we’re going to make you work a little bit for them, but not too hard, I promise.
All you need to do to get a free copy of one of the below books is:
- Ask and/or Answer three (3) quality questions tagged “Networking in 2010″. Here, I’ll even give you a link to the current questions. If you’re answering, the questions should be unanswered.
- Agree to do a review to be featured on the Bookworm Blog.
Offer to do both, and I’ll scrounge around the office for the best extra swag we have, guaranteed. Once you’ve picked your path to free book greatness, just e-mail me which you chose, your book preference and where you want the book shipped to.
*Usual contest shipping rules apply, but if you’re out of our normal range, I might be able to negotiate something to get you the books anyways. Also, only valid while supplies last.
The Books:
A Practical Guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Jeffrey S. Beasley’s Networking
IT Systems Management
Why New Systems Fail
Computer and Communication Networks
Security the Borderless Network
Deploying and Troubleshooting Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

Featured Site,
IT Blogger of the Week
IT Knowledge Exchange members have asked hundreds of project management questions over the years, so when Ty Kiisel of the @task blog suggested I take a look at what he and his cohorts had to say on the subject I had a good feeling. Ty didn’t let me down.
A self-described “accidental project manager” (aren’t we all?), Ty has offered advice on improving team efficiency, the danger of silos and much, much more, illustrated with great examples and amusing anecdotes. It’s definitely one of the more readable project management blogs out there, and it might provide some quality food for thought if you find yourself as an accidental project manager.
Even better, Ty’s agreed to write a guest post for the Enterprise IT Watch Blog, so keep your eyes out for his thoughts on how to deal with complaining departments that always want your valuable resources devoted to them – no matter what it might cost the rest of the company.
