  • Great Podcast

    If you’re an old(er) network engineer and you’ve had your head stuck in the sand for the past 10 years (like I have) this is a great way to catch up with the current state of programming.

    I found David’s podcast advertised on the GNS3 website and I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve listened to so far and I’ve already learned a lot.
