Acknowledgments
There were many people who helped me build the new CCNA books in 2019 and 2020.
First, Kenyon Brown helped me put together the direction for the books and managed the
internal editing at Wiley, so thank you, Ken, for working diligently for many months keep-
ing these books moving along. Thanks also to Christine O’Connor, my production editor
at Wiley for well over a decade now, as well as Judy Flynn my go-to editor who always does
an excellent job! Thanks also to Kim Wimpsett for proofreading and to Todd Montgomery
for technical proofreading.
The co-author I used in this book was Donald Robb out of Canada. He helped me put
together the two wireless chapters and completely wrote the three DevNet chapters (21–23).
His knowledge of the subject is second to none and he blew me away! You’ll love his work
too. You can reach Donald through his popular blog at https://the-packet-thrower.com.
He also is a top moderator and contributor at reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ccna/.
The top editors I used in the CCNA series included Troy McMillon, who read each
chapter in the full series multiple times, making amazing discoveries both technically and
editorially. Todd Montgomery was the most excellent tech editor for the complete two book
CCNA Series. Also, Monica Lammle read and reread each chapter and really helped me keep
the voicing in place throughout the editorial process, which isn’t an easy thing to do!
