Chapter Resources

These resources, no matter their source, are organized along the lines of the current official certification guide, written by Wendell Odom and published by Cisco Press in 2016. The obvious exception is Chapters 1-4, where I just couldn't cope with Mr. Odom's structure. Nothing on this site is official or endorsed; company names and trademarks are mentioned merely to factually acknowledge the role of those companies in standardizing and advancing the mentioned technologies.
