As part of my preparation for the VCAP6-DCV Design exam, I red different official documents and came across with a bunch of notes written, mainly, in a very informal format that could be rapidly understood by me when I needed to review them.

It is only a month until we will be in Berlin for Cisco Live! Submissions are still open for TechTalks from community members.

A vBrownBag TechTalk is a 10-12 minute presentation on a technical topic. Most presenters use slides, some simply talk and some bring a friend to present as a team. The brave presenters do live demonstrations to illustrate their point, we love these presentations. Presentations are in front of a small live audience but are live streamed and the video is published to YouTube.

You can sign up using the form below and I will be in touch to get your session scheduled.
