HEY!!!
Todd may have his name on the cover and the series,
but I did have a little something to do with the Sybex
CID book!!! Like writing 13 chapters! Thanks for the
complements, although I strongly recommend that
readers review the Cisco Web site for the StrataCom
material.
If the beta is an indication, the new test will be as
bad as the one it replaces. While I passed (I don't
know the numbers), I also wrote seven pages worth of
comments on the test and likely screamed twice. It is
unfortunate that Cisco cannot improve upon this test.
We are currently discussing a second edition for CID,
although it seems that either frustration with the
exam or lack of interest is impacting the number of
canidates. We've enjoyed solid sales thus far, but the
number of CCDPs is still VERY low relative to the
other certs. Surprises me a great deal - but I've
always enjoyed design.
