Editorial Reviews
Review
“I have been very fortunate to personally know Dale Meredith for the better part of a decade, for he has that unique gift of teaching while making it fun. I call it edutainment, and every time I watch one of his courses or read an article he has published, I learn something. It could be a piece of technical detail I was not aware of (or had forgotten about) or something about the way he delivers material. Keeping a listener engaged while delivering training is no easy task, and in this Dale excels.
Dale has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world to learn everything from hardware and networking to cybersecurity and ethical hacking. I am excited to see the impact this book will have on people’s careers, and ultimately their lives. This book will provide the knowledge necessary to develop critical cybersecurity skills and will empower you to act, all while having fun in the process.”
