Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share something I’ve realized recently, diving into the world of IT, especially networking, can sometimes feel overwhelming with all the theory out there. Lately, I’ve been trying to strike a better balance between reading and actually doing.
Setting up simple labs, working with packet tracer, and observing real-time behavior is making concepts like subnetting, routing protocols, and firewalls click faster than before.
Would love to know how others here manage their learning, do you start with theory first or jump straight into practice? Open to tips or routines that have worked for you!
