Jason Gooley is the man. I had the pleasure of working with him for almost 8 years. He took a chance on me and i'm forever grateful for that. He is the best boss i ever had. I wouldn't be where I am today with out his help. Thanks Jason.

2 years ago I got my first CCIE Routing and Switching, (after passing through my CCNA and my CCNP) I am currently studying for my second CCIE ("SP track") since I see it necessary to get my CCDE which is my last goal to long term, but being able to automate my tasks with python and ansible has allowed me to streamline my daily tasks and take my work to another level of productivity (something like a Super CCIE: D) I see automation as a necessary skill set in all the aspects of life that allows us to have more time to analyze scenarios that allow us to optimize and have better networks, greetings and many thanks for these videos David, I hope more courses of yours to continue learning network programmability thanks.....

Thank you David for the video, Thank God CCIE is still trending, I have just begun my CCIE R&S preparation

OMG! Kick-ass video, from my perspective its seems getting your CCNA or CCNP then put in some time with python. Well that what i'm going to do. Hey thanks for another stellar interview!

Thank you so much Jason and David for sharing this incredible interesting conversation and interview. I have been checking Jason book "Programming and Automating Cisco Networks" and I am looking forward to buy it. Best for you guys. Keep it this way, you are phenomenal.

Thank you David. Just love to spend my off study time on your KZfaq channel very helpful. just added both books to my read list, Currently working on CCNP Enterprise. my long term goal is to get CCIE/CCDE + network automation.

You can never go wrong getting your CCIE. The level of in depth knowledge you can gain from achieving the CCIE is second to none. The problem is the CCIE does not seem to demand as high a salary as it did in years past. While it is always easier said than done. Gaining the right experience, along with certs, can get you paid as much as many CCIE in todays markets. The other debate is that many shops want to see you capable on multiple technologies. So the time getting an IE could get you certified in multiple Cisco paths or other vendors all together. So while you may not be a CCIE level network engineer. You can be multiple NA or NP along with say your VMware or AWS or Palo Alto cert

Thank you David, I've been unsure about the myth surrounding Python vs CCIE/ CCDE. The record is now straight!

It seems to me that networking is just going through the same process that systems went through with the introduction of powershell. I think it gets blown way out of proportion. Powershell didn't make systems engineers lose their job, it just allowed them to use their time for better stuff. Doesn't sound like anyone expects us to become full-stack software engineers, we just need to learn enough to use these new networking libraries to automate boring tasks, as far as I can tell.

Thank you ..David and Jason ..you guys gives us road map to kick start our careers again ..

Yep concepts are everything......glad he mentioned that in regards to if CCIE or any other RS cert under that is relevant.

The issue with CCIE is it is convoluted to get, having to fly somewhere, get hotels, rental cars, etc to do this practice exam. It's quite costly and if you fail it can be a considerable amount of money down the drain. I dont think the leverage the CCIE gives you in the market (in terms of pay and ease of getting a job) matches the costs associated with getting it. You can learn all the content online without having to spend alot of money to go do the practical.

Python or any programming language can be applied to anything you do in IT these days even Cisco.

Read that book, really good easy read Thank You!

I switched from Cisco Networking to Web Application and Mobile App dev. I have over 10 years of Cisco expertise

Really liked this David. I guess it depends on the person. I’m thinking for me maybe CCNP after ICND2 then maybe more Python for networking and some Devnet stuff in the AWS realm. It’s funny because I was thinking of all this the other day, trying to plot this stuff out. I’m already enrolled in some of your GNS3 and Packet Tracer courses on Udemy. Have Virl at work.

David your videos and the way you explain all these networking concepts is fantastic!! Please consider to make any videos about VXLANs and EVPN Multisite concepts because nobody can explain better than you!!Keep going that way!!

Thanks David awesome interview very resourceful

Love da new music of your videos David :)

Keep up the good work guys

#TheGodFatherOfProgramability my #metaldevops brother! You rock Jason! - Thanks David.

Informative for me ..

Great Information !

Love you David 💓

David we need to know how CCIE guys practice labs whether it is hardware or emulator and what's the advice from CCIE guys when it comes about preparing a lab at home?

hi David great going sir and your every videos are so good, i need some suggestions from you i am CCNA certified with 3 year of experience going outside with this is not enough so please guide me which technologies are good to learn for future

David sir : I want your valuable suggestion (even some kind of guideline) in my life . I have almost 6 years of experience in IT in which 3 years as network support engineer and 3 years as IT engineer. My job is limited to mostly LAN side of networking due to mid-size organization. Even i have designed & successfully implemented the network (5 floored building) of another branch of my organization and it's working fine right now But everything was limited to almost installing switches,Crimping,installing face plate, troubleshooting network , configuring wireless access point(Wi-Fi),servers,fingerprint scanners,network printers etcs ...... I have studied CCNA, CCNP Switch,( CCNP Route in progress),CCNA security and practicing almost everything at GNS3 whatever is possible in GNS3 from last 4-5 years but i don't have experience at real routers in last 3 years. Kindly suggest me what to do from today. ? What to do next ? i am waiting a response from you sir, i am very confuse right now.

my understand automation is, before 10 guys need finished job, use automation only need 1 guy can finished.

I am doing CCNP right know..Is it worhy or not?Need your expert opinion

Uma pergunta: sei que não há pré-requisitos para CCDE, mas vcs avaliam que é preciso tirar antes CCNA?

#learn to code

jaSON

Ty, before anything need to own your router in 3 min😏 then it's dev land. I ll try again

Hello sir , Kindly give me name of first book of automation of jason

Which is best book of CCIE (R&s) for self study can you guide me I want to start now .

$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😜!!!!!!😜😄😄😄😜😜!!!!!!!!!!!! Is IT STILL WORTH IT!!!!!!!
