How to Network was devised by Paul Browning back in 2003. Paul worked as a police officer in the UK from 1989 to 2000 and then left to pursue a career in the IT industry.  He started out on a helpdesk doing basic desktop support.  He studied hard and passed his CCNA and MCSE and was quickly offered a role working at Cisco TAC in the UK.  Paul worked there for two years until it was moved out to India. By this time Paul had passed his CCNP and CCIE written exams.

Frustrated by the poor quality of most CCNA books and courses Paul began work on CCNA Simplifed - Your Complete Guide to passing the CCNA exam which took three years to write and was finished in 2005.  CCNA Simplified has helped hundreds of people pass their CCNA exam and more importantly go onto enjoy a successful career in the IT industry.

Pauls company is Networks Inc. Ltd which runs Cisco CCNA and CCNP training courses in the UK.  During 2007 he finally got round to writing the content for howtonetwork.net.  The site is the only one of its kind in the world because it is written by a person just like you.  Somebody who was baffled at the sheer amount of jargon and misleading information out there written by companies only interested in ripping you off.  Somebody who wanted to pass his CCNA but also be able to pass interviews with confidence and be a valuable member of any network team.

Pauls autobiography is now out. It is called The Good Guys Wear Blue and is a story about the 12 years he worked as a police officer in the UK. Famous Coventry author and BAFTA award winner Geoff Thompon said 'What a shock..what a revelation. I love this book..' Just click on the above book title to see the page.
