Why I am preparing the CCNA exam

I’ve recently wanted to get a deeper understanding of computer networking. I started with some Udemy course. I was really just interested in socket programming, but curiouristy eventually led me to Jeremy’s IT Lab. I am sure most people preparing the CCNA are aware of this course. It is an impressive free course. The structure is a lecture, quiz, lab and anki deck. Sometimes the lectures are a split into multiple videos. I think the real attraction of CCNA is configuring multiple systems and making them work. Also, the debugging part is enticing for software developers. I don’t think it is something I will use professionally, but it is nice, well defined goal and I am learning a lot on the journey. I don’t know if I will take the CCNA in the end, but I will continue to prepare like I will.
