in CCNA & CCENT
Passed my second Cisco exam this morning and got my CCNA certification!! My score was an 850 on the exam and what a great feeling. The end of a six month journey that I started back in January. I probably could have taken it sooner but I wanted to make sure I understood the material.

Books/resources:
CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide 7th edition by Todd Lammle
CBT Nuggets by Jeremy Cioara
INE videos (somewhat dry but informative)
TechExams TechNotes
Exam Cram- Third Edition
College hands-on experience with routers/switches

I'm not sure what is next moving forward I'm thinking about Linux/Server Virtualization and will start in the near future but I'm taking the rest of the summer off to enjoy some rest and relaxation with family and friends for now. I'll be celebrating by drinking and playing Last of Us!! icon_thumright.gif

I'll be starting my BS:IT Security at WGU this Fall if everything goes according to plan.

    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Congratulations! I've got mine in about a week. Enjoy your break! I'm doing the same (beer, gaming - although I don't have a PS3 so it'll be Company of Heroes 2 for me) after my pass.
