Summary: Good, but not complete, study guide for the CCDP
Comment: While certainly easy to read and follow, Padjen's Cisco Internetwork Design Study Guide is not a complete study guide for the CID test. Although I did pass (by quite a bit) the first time taking the test, I found myself refering to the class notes to fill out holes in this study guide. X.25, Stratacom ATM switches, and SNA are big parts of the exam, and they are only briefly covered here.

This study guide would have better served its purchasers by dropping sections on DSL, Cable Modems, and other "advanced" design topics that are not covered and beefing up the sections on the material the exam actually covers. Overall, a good introduction to Cisco Internetwork Design and lots of good coverage on the desktop protocols, TCP/IP, and the network design models.

You can pass the exam with just this book, just make sure you supplement the SNA and X.25 material from Cisco's website.

Also, be aware that Cisco is rolling out a new version of the exam (it is in beta starting on Nov. 27th) and this book may become out of date depending on what exactly the new exam covers.

Summary: Swear by these series!
Comment: Well, passed with a nice 922 out of 1000. Honestly, I read all of Todd Lammle's books for my Cisco tests, and I've yet to score below an 880!

HIGHLY recommend this book (and other Sybex Cisco study guides) as they are easy to read, thorough, and don't have too many technical mistakes. Pair this with the (now defunct) Exam Cram series by Coriolis and you're ready to PASS!

Summary: FAIL the test with this; try the Bruno CCIE book!
Comment: I bot this and found it difficult to get myself to read thru it.
So, I loaned it to a CCNP (v2) cert. friend, who read it throughly. He FAILED the ccdp exam, much to his surprize! Today, we were looking at the new Cisco Press CCIE written book, and my friend noticed the answers to the CCDP exam questions are well covered in that book (by Bruno). So, I'll try that one.
