Getting VCP-NV without taking the required class through the CCNA/CCNP program

Please check out this blog entry from VMware Education and Certification

http://blogs.vmware.com/education/2015/12/extending-the-cisco-certification-credit-for-network-virtualization-certification.html

You still have to take the VCP-NV exam but if you have an active CCNA/CCNP you don't need to go to the required class to achieve the certification. There is now no time limit on this path. This is significantly cheaper :)

Free eBook - NSX for vSphere - A Foundation of the SDDC

Earlier this month the following very smart guys (I put their twitter links so you can follow them) released a free ebook for learning and implementing NSX

Prasenjit Sarkar and his blog http://stretch-cloud.info
Michael Haines (same blog as Prasenjit)
Roie Ben Haim and his blog http://www.routetocloud.com
Anuj Modi and his blog https://anujmodi.wordpress.com
Ajit Sharma and his blog https://nsxsummit.wordpress.com

The book is totally DIY - they just made a PDF with no publisher, no copyright - grab this knowledge source and learn. You have to admire them because co-authoring a book is never easy and it's more than 200 pages.

I've seen two links to the book - I leave them both in case one doesn't work in the future
