Conclusiones individuales
Godoy Jiménez Joaquín
Esta práctica fue la más rápida de realizar y como mencioné en la primera práctica,
vamos a utilizar nuevos sitios a diferencia de las otras materias de redes. También
mencioné en la conclusión de la primera práctica que gracias a ella y a esta
práctica descubrí que Cisco tiene más sitios con contenido de apoyo.
Yañez Oñate Juan Pablo
Con esta práctica tenemos acceso a más recursos para mejorar nuestras
habilidades con Python, además de que el contenido es de calidad porque es
proporcionado por la red de cisco.
Montenegro Zúñiga Marco Antonio
Esta práctica estuvo interesante porque comenzamos a descubrir los campos
donde podemos aplicar nuestros conocimientos y también, nos da la posibilidad de
adquirir nuevos conocimientos, y al ser parte de cisco considero que tal vez vengan
con algún tipo de certificación, solo nos queda seguir explorando, pero eso si, todo
esta en ingles.
