Hey there, fellow learners! 👋 Are you an absolute beginner like me, pursuing an engineering degree in electrical and aspiring to become a network engineer? Let’s dive into the exciting world of networking and explore the best possible ways of learning. 🌐
Here are some valuable recommendations to kickstart your networking journey:
– Books: Check out “Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach” by James Kurose and Keith Ross for a comprehensive understanding of networking concepts.
– Videos: Explore online platforms like Udemy and Coursera for courses such as “Networking Essentials” or “Cisco CCNA Certification Training.”
– Courses: Enroll in networking courses offered by Cisco Networking Academy or CompTIA to gain hands-on experience and industry-recognized certifications. 🎓

Start CCNA 200-301, that IS the advice.
As an absolute beginner? Start with the Network+. Either get the free course from Professor Messer or pay for something like TestOut (which is owned by CompTIA).
The CCNA or JCNA (Cisco and Juniper’s Network Administration certs). Both are good, but Cisco’s is considered the “gold standard”. Starting at zero, they might overwhelm you, though.
If you go Cisco, check out Jeremy’s IT Labs on YouTube. Be sure to grab his Ankii flashcards. Download Packet Tracer from Cisco, as well, so you can complete his labs. It’s free (outside an email signup), has a learning setting where you can see where all the information is going at each step of the connection, and is more than enough for the CCNA.
You’re getting your B.S. in electrical engineering but you want to become a network engineer. I’m confused.
