Hi, I will start the master of Networking Engineering next semester 2011 at RMIT. As I want to well-prepared to successuflly complete the program, I would like to have some preparation. I received my associate in computer science about 5 years ago. So, I am faimilar with C++, Java, .. etc. However, my bachelor is in economics. My 3 years as sales engineer, I have worked with IP-based CCTV system. The work provide the experience in configuring IP address. I completed CCNA 1 (Exploration), and hope to get my CCNA certified. So, in light of my experiences and what are required to succesully complete the program, what should I prepare to fill the skills gap? What course sequence should I take? Upon completion of the program, I hope to work in telco operators or ISP in Cambodia. Any comments are appreciated.

Regards,

Ravuth

Hi Mark,

Here is my reading list: 1) Certified Wireless Network AdministratorTM Official Study Guide by Planet3 Wireless. 2) JNCIA: Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate Study Guide by Joseph M. Soricelli et al.  3) Mobile Communications by Jochen H. Schiller 4) Computer Networking A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet by James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross. Are these good start books? Do you have others to recommend?
