I’ve decided to take charge of my technical development, I’d like to progress my cisco knowledge. As a CCSP I’ve got two choices: CCIE Security or CCNP. Now the CCIE is the better one, but I’ve looked through the material, and although I’ve got 5yrs security experience, I’m not confident I know enough general networking (especially for the practical lab), so I’m finking I’ll do both

Seriously, I’ve been reading the CCNP material, and it gives some really good foundation knowledge for the CCIE; so I’m finking start them both, and drop out the CCIE revision when my “non-security” knowledge needs topping up. Now anyone reading this, whom has done either or both exams is probably thinking “He has no idea how much work is involved” - and I guess they’re partly right, since I’d not done either it’s true, but I’m not expecting to do them in a month (or even 6).

So, can you blog revision ? I’ve had a quick google and I’ve not really been able to find what I mean (or want), they are mostly blogs with cisco content, but not revision guides or material. Now the biggest problem with revision blogs would be copyrights , in order to study you need to read someone else’s material, but you can’t publish that. I don’t see this as a problem tho’ since true revision is being able to explain what you’ve learned in your own words…. any way to be safe I’ve updated my copyright, since I think my blog could be a really good revision tool

I guess only time will tell, I’ve already got a lot on so I guess the next issue will be finding the time, but having a plan is always a good start
