It has been 4 years since I did register the FirstDigest.com domain and I want to mark this on the blog timeline. Nevertheless, the first tech post will arrive on this blog only on November 2008 as first I had different plans for this domain name. Those of you who were curious enough to read the About page knows already the domain story.
Maybe it sounds stupid, but I would like to tell Happy Birthday FirstDigest.com.

Even I’m somewhere above than CCNA point, it’s never too much to have a look to the basics. I had a look to this free streaming and I can tell you that beside the big marketing done by INE with this free product, the material is excellent for anyone who want to step up on the network professional path.
One notice from my side, also due to the marketing (they have to earn some money, don’t they?!). When you access the link above you will be redirected to a page that look like this:
I did a quick look on the page and saw immediately the Blue button with “Add to cart” text and I thought that the course cost 99$ and it’s not free. It cost 99$ ONLY if you want to download the course (I would say a fair price for this material). Pay attention a look about that shiny blue button (that capture your attention) immediately and you’ll see a small link with “Log in here” or a bigger one with “Sign Up” if you are new to their website.
Don’t forget that this promotion is valid until end of 2011. In 2012 you’ll have to pay to use this material.
These being said, good luck with your preparation and enjoy this content.
