RE: Passed the CCDA, finally... [1:1796] posted 02/01/2001

Well, I'm doing the CID course first to get that out of the way, I feel
the CID is more theoretical then hands-on so reading the Sybex CID book
by Todd Lammle should help and of course any training exams.  Once I
have completed and hopefully passed, I will concentrate on CIT which is
required for the CCNP.  

Because the CCNP and CCDP share three similar courses, BSCN, BMSCN,
BCRAN, I can concentrate on the first one and work my way down and that
would then give all the course required for both certifications, CCDP
and CCNP.  

That's the plan, hopefully I can get it completed by this year.
