Joking aside, Osamah does make a valid point there. In the past few
days we had quite a few messages from Naman asking "basic" questions
when obviously dealing with relatively advanced scenarios. It's
obvious that he is missing fundamental understanding of technology and
that he is trying to fast track his studies. It's a sure way to waste
time+$1400+travel expenses.

I can't recommend any specific vendor workbooks, but he needs to
revisit fundamentals. Perhaps even "written-level" material before he
goes into complex scenarios that he is trying to solve now.

I would also repeat what I said few days ago in an answer to one of
his messages. When faced with an error message that points to the fact
that you are trying to do something that appears to be impossible - be
welcome to the troubleshooting section of the lab. You created the
mess in one of the previous steps and you need to figure out where.
