IP Intermission …

Hey out there. Today I want to take a break from my series of posts about the CompTIA Network+ Course to talk a little bit about this site, Train Signal Training.

If you’re here, you probably already know this, but Train Signal Training is kind of like our community presence here on “ye olde inter-webs.” Some of the special features that you’ll only find here include:

  • News posts by Train Signal staff and contributing tech authors
  • Special offers from Train Signal (like this one: Our CCNA Sponsorship contest)
  • Staff blog posts (like what you are reading, obviously)
  • User feedback in the form of the comments section (want to leave me a comment? please?)
  • Web 2.0 features like RSS feeds (subscribe and you get my geekiness sent directly to you)
  • And best of all, you get FREE samples of the best IT training videos on the planet! (you can’t beat free stuff!)
  • I just watched the TCP/IP training series, which you can find right here. Our guide in these videos is Scott Skinger, who just so happens to be the owner of a little company we like to call Train Signal. Mr. Skinger is a great instructor for these types of videos, because his style is very conversational, and he always shows exactly what he is talking about on the screen. He even writes notes on the “board” while he is talking. (How does he write like that with a mouse? My mouse writing always looks like crap.) When I started, I had only meant to watch one or two, out of the five in the series, but they are engaging enough that I ended up just watching all five in one sitting. If you are setting up a home or even a small office network, I really recommend these videos. They could save you a couple of the headaches that Windows has a habit of causing.

    I think I’m going to try and do the impossible … re-build my home network without making my family go crazy (they can’t be without the net for more than half an hour) based on what I saw today. Wish me luck.

    Oh by the way, we are constantly thinking of ways to improve TST (thats Train Signal Training, but you knew that). So if you have any feedback regarding something you’d like to see here, please let me know in the comments section. Next time, I’ll be back to my reviews of the Network+ videos, so stay tuned here at Train Signal Training so you don’t miss a thing.
