IPexpert vs Internetwork Expert
I have to start by saying that the announcement from Internetwork Expert yesterday was well worth the wait. In fact, I couldn’t believe how much press they were getting. Brad Reese speculated that they had been bought by Cisco. Others thought that they would be announcing their involvement with the new Cisco 360 program. That wasn’t the case at all. In fact the announcement was far from all speculation. In essence I understood to be the general message to be that the way training is delivered today is getting old and stagnant and that needs to change, and is going to change. People are becoming more dynamic and as a company so is Internetwork Expert.
The good news for me is that I own the end-to-end program. That means that everything I have will be upgraded at no cost. The bad news is that I am going on my third attempt, which by the way is the average, and the CCIE Security track is third on their list. No matter though, its still exciting news.
I waited till this morning to finish this post because I wanted to see what Matt Brooks over at IPexpert had to say on the IPexpert blog. Matt Brooks has a really good way of pointing out the flaws in Brian Dennis’ Announcement. And by-the-way, I have had a few conversations with Matt Brooks and he really is a nice guy! Still I wanted to put some of the thoughts in my mind down in print, not to point out flaws, but to express my thoughts, my likes, my hopes, and my disappointments.
Ill work in no particular order here. But lets begin with the claim of certifying the most people.
