Iterative processes have gained widespread acceptance because they help software developers reduce risk and cost, manage change, improve productivity, and deliver more effective, timely solutions. But conventional project management techniques don’t work well in iterative projects, and newer iterative management techniques have been poorly documented.

Leading iterative development experts Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence introduce a proven, scalable approach that improves both agility and control at the same time, satisfying the needs of developers, managers, and the business alike.

The CBT Nuggets Cisco CCNA Certification Package is a comprehensive collection of training videos that completely covers the objectives for the recently updated 640-801 CCNA exam. But to say that this series is merely a test prep tool is like calling the Mona Lisa “merely a painting of a girl”. The CCNA series is intended to enrich your IT career. It’s designed to be your ticket to IT utopia, a career working in the exciting field of network infrastructure and technology.This series is also an excellent source of career continuation training, and a solid on-the-job reference. A network engineer is alot like a medical doctor. There is a great deal of information to know, there is a requirement to be continually learning and advancing your mind, but there is also a time when you need good references. A successful doctor has a broad range of knowledge, but knows when and how to call in a specialist for a particularly difficult case. Similarly, a CCNA will need a reference that he or she can rely on. This video series is your “referral to a specialist”. When you don’t feel comfortable with a particular area of deployment or maintenance, just pop in the 30-minute video covering that concept and implementation and you’re ready to go.

Have you heard that the best way to learn a foreign language is by submersion? Live in the culture that speaks it, and you’ll pick it up quick.That’s trainer Robert Barr’s approach to these C# (”C sharp”) videos. He doesn’t talk much theory, or speak in generalities. He sits down with you and walks you through the process, step-by-step, of creating applications using C#. Along the way, you learn not only how to program in C#, but also what goes into a well-written application. He even creates errors so he can walk you through the process of debugging and fixing them, to make it easier for you to fix your own errors as you learn the language.
