What Customers Say About Wiring Your Digital Home For Dummies (For Dummies (Home & Garden)):
|
|
It should be no surprise to a reader that a book with wiring as the first word in the title and when six of the chapters headings have the verb wiring in them directly and three more chapters by inferrence that the book just might be about wiring. The included CD makes this book a great value.
I agree with the other reviewer. This book covers too many topics that have nothing to do with a "digital home'. Sure a computer needs power but to have a lot of the book cover the layout of basic home wiring is too much. I wanted more detailed information on how to set up cat 5 or cat 6 connectors, or how to wire compression coax connectors, or how to choose cable, splitters etc, or specific information on how to control a light or outlet from the computer.
I have been rewiring my 30 year old home over the last five years replacing all the phone and cable TV wiring and adding a computer network all to a central hub. I would not buy this book if you have ever done anything on this subject yourself. I have read other For Dummies books on these subjects and they were rather good. These days I look for more information and I thought this new book would provide me with something I had not read of before. For some strange reason about half of the book involves wiring for lights and outlets, which I have also done a lot myself, but in my opinion has nothing to do with having a digital home. I am still waiting for one book that tells it all on this subject.
