Saying Hello World to Network Design

in CCDA & CCDP
Well, after a month of studying for the BSCI I got bored and decided to focus my attention on the CCDA. I'm powering through the following resources:

Authorized Self-Study Guide Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions
http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587052725

Internetwork Design Guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/design/guide/idg4.html

It's interesting to take a look at the network from a high-level perspective, although it's easy to get lost in the alphabet soup provided by the above texts.

Anyone else pursuing the CCDA? I've got a target test date of late December/early January so it would be nice to generate some discussion with other members who are actively pursuing this cert.

    I have started working on the CCDA and plan to complete the CCDP by taking ARCH after the CCDA. I completed the CCNP last week. I started reading last week, seems like most of the info so far is review for me. About 200 pages deep in the officical exam certification guide.
    I don't claim to be an expert, but I sure would like to become one someday.

    Quest for 11K pages read in 2011
    Page Count total to date - 1283

    Nice I think I may start reading some of the design material since i'm helping with it at work, the cisco doc will go nicely with the CCDA book. :D
