❌ Stop re-explaining your process to your AI every time you open a new session.

✅ Build an agent skill instead.
Teach it once. Let it run. Your workflow, your way.

@Kareem_isk shows you how to build an agent skill from scratch (no code needed) ⬇️ https://t.co/rxTcwBch4B

@broadcaststorm Hey Tim, great hanging out in Cisco live as usual. And happy July 4 to you as well!

[Wendell Odom @Wendellodom]

Semiquincentennial observed? Sure. But for us also today was Father’s Day observed. Daughter came to town. With a nice clever card!

Cisco just announced the CCNA 200-301 v2.0 blueprint. 🛑

Don't panic. You have a 7-month runway before the changes take effect on Feb 3, 2027.

Should you rush to pass v1.1 or wait for v2.0? Let's map out your interim study plan right now. 🧵👇

Cisco's CCNA v2.0 announcement dropped while I was 60% through building my free YouTube CCNA course. 🛠️

@JeromeTissieres That's a wonderful post, Jerome - especially breaking down to chapters when the whole book might be too much. What a great guide!

[Wendell Odom @Wendellodom]

How much time did, or will, you spend before your first attempt at the CCNA exam?

That's not a rhetorical question - I'm looking for your best wild guess, best memory of about how much time it took. Even if it's a +-50% (you can tell me that, too), I'd be curious what people thought of the workload of the reading, watching, labbing, reviewing, etc, all of it together, before being ready for that first go at CCNA.

Just post here, or add it over at this comment on my YouTube channel: https://t.co/QxUTJ0jyjM

@CiscoChampion Congrats, Ali!!

No ticket to Cisco Live this year? 🎫 No problem.

You can still attend "Summer Camp for Networking Nerds" completely remote—and totally FREE.

If you're studying for your #CCNA, next week is a massive opportunity to level up. My new video breaks down how to hack the show from home:
👉 Free Cisco U Walk-in Labs (L2/L3)
👉 Live broadcast sessions that matter for the exam
👉 My personal curated schedule (including using AI to study!)

Don't miss out on the biggest networking week of the year just because you aren't there in person.

@CiscoLive I like blue.

We've covered the official timeline, and we've dissected the technical blueprint line by line. Now, let’s answer the question on every CCNA candidate's mind: "Where are the books, and when can I get them?" 📚

As co-author of the CCNA Official Cert Guides, I’m excited to pull back the curtain on our upcoming publishing roadmap at Cisco Press for the new CCNA 200-301 Version 2.0 curriculum. Our development teams are already hard at work mapping the new blueprint demands—from deeper troubleshooting to foundational AI skills—into our updated study materials.

In this final video of today's launch series, I lay out exactly what you can expect:
🔹Print Editions: Projected release calendars, new edition volumes, and package details for the unified Library Edition.
🔹 Premium Edition eBooks: A look at the digital features, interactive PDFs, bonus practice question banks, and integrated review tools built to maximize your study efficiency.
Whether you prefer the weight of a physical book on your desk or the dynamic portability of an interactive digital suite, this video will help you align your resource strategy with your targeted exam date.
