Re: OT: CCDE - how to study and chances to pass it

Hi Travis (and all the rest),

I agree but all the information regarding the SPv3 has been very very
helpful (and since I've also mentioned the SPv3 in my initial post, I'm
happy about the replies).

Now we know officially that at least INE will "fully" support the new SPv3
including rack rentals, workbooks, classes covering also IOS-XR. I'm
waiting since 1.5 year to hear such a thing and I've already lost the hope
that someone will ever support it, since (as mentioned earlier) just a few
weeks/months ago all vendors told that they will not support SPv3 at all.
So cool, the game is open again :-)

But now, regarding the CCDE (which I've asked for), I do agree with you.
The link from Brian pointing to the very helpful and interesting Blog from
Petr, including all the reading stuff, does not fully answer my question.
I would also be very interested to hear from people who have attended (and
maybe also passed) the CCDE lab, how they have prepared. I think (hope)
that there is more strategy than just reading 50 books and bring lots of
experience. So please all CCDE's out there, let us know your ideas!!

Personally I'm still not 100% sure which path to take, CCDE or SPv3, and
which one is "better" for the future because I somewhat have to agree with
the things Narbik said. There is not a very high demand after SPv3 and
maybe it is more helpful to have "another" cert like CCDE instead of
multiple IE's (and I mean this from a technological and financial point of
view).
