Do not waste your time with the 3524 switches. Purchase the 2950 and if possible purchase 2. The 2950 is a newer switch which runs a newer version of IOS.
Here is the example of the only way to configure VLANs on the 3500 series switch. As you can see, it is still available on the 2950 or 3550 in my case, but it is telling you this is not the way to do it. The CCNA will teach you and ultimately test you on the new way to configure VLANs. The 3500 series switches were never/and never will be updated to configure them in the new way.
DLS1#vlan data
% Warning: It is recommended to configure VLAN from config mode,
as VLAN database mode is being deprecated. Please consult user
documentation for configuring VTP/VLAN in config mode.I don't claim to be an expert, but I sure would like to become one someday.
