So, it's been almost a week since my last post. I've been buried deep in my studies, this stuff REALLY interests me. And while I may have not had as much trouble understanding some of the earlier chapters and the network foundations, I realize some people may not have the same industry experience as me, and it doesn't just click on the first read. I will be posting about major topics leading up to the actual hands-on stuff in hopes of being able to help everyone, and also further ground my understanding of these concepts. So I'm off to write my next post, the OSI Model and TCP/IP Model.
PS. I picked up a copy of CCENT/CCNA ICND1 640-822 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom from http://www.ciscopress.com/ It's great stuff, I read the PDF on my iPad in places where I can't watch my CBTNuggets videos. Only $20 for the ICND1 book, and I think it's ~$40 for a bundle with the ICND1/ICND2 book. It also comes with some exam practice software that mimics the real Cisco exam, I feel like it gave me a nice overview of the style of questions on the Cisco exam.
