I'm doing this so I can say to you dumb motherfuckers that I passed this shit after a week of preparation and call you all stupid.

I don't know how good of a complement it would be for a programmer. Honestly, programming would make a better complement for a network person. :P

And if you want to cheese the test you can probably pass in a week. I did all 7 MCSE exams for Windows 2003 in 3 days without studying anything beforehand. But I didn't learn jack shit. No way you're going to learn all the concepts you're being tested on in the CCNA in a week, which makes the piece of paper worthless.

"Programmer" that wants to broaden horizons with a CCNA? Lol! Full of shit. Dumb.




Stick to keeping track of my elf kills and sucking at sports.

I am already familiar with a lot of the topics as I took a 400-level networking class in college - we just had no hands-on experience. Each lab in the class was solvable by brute force (client/server applications). I believe the book learning part of the CCNA should be easy enough given my background. I am good with algorithms and still remember all the Graph Theory stuff like it was yesterday, for the most part, so I really just want to make sure I can get my hands on some actual equipment and set this shit up for real. My roommate said he can get me a Cisco switch from work so that will be a good start. So yes, obviously I won't be as qualified as someone with a CCNA and months or years of hands-on experience, but I'm a pretty quick learner and so far most of this stuff has been pretty intuitive. I consider this a relatively easy challenge and it'd be stupid for someone who is as good a learner and test taker as I am to not get a few easy certs.

I'm going to spend the next few days going through this entire course - https://www.cybrary.it/course/cisco-ccna/ - and once I think I'm at least decent with Packet Tracer (gonna find another resource), I think I'll try out your Nuggets.

has absolutely jack shit to do with programming, if you want to challenge yourself do it, i got my second MCSE After i had left IT completely just to say i finished, i did 6 exams then took a long break.

Also lol at kergan and tassador in this thread, two of the servers biggest butthurts in history.

Pretend harder you have real careers ahah

You are literally 100% wrong in everything you just said.

This should just be the default response to all Pumped posts.
