Learning about networks
 

Does anyone know a good place to start if I wanna start reading up on networks and how all the techy stuff works

All depends on how indepth you wanna go?

Most 'newbie' guides often point to here:

But they do go deeper than that.

I would suggest starting with Network+ then moving onto Cisco courses (CCENT / CCNA).

There are a wealth of different courses available on Springboard.

If you fancy doing Comptia Network+ course then would say get the learnkey Cd's and just watch the video's, very interesting and informative they cost £140 for the set. Yes you do get a goofy American (Mike Meyers AKA Alphageek) talking you through it all but he is the best at explaining stuff in a way you can relate to. You can get these from here www.october-systems.co.uk
