Networking learning resources?

[phleexiou]

Hi all. Idk if this is the right place to put this, feel free to tell me.

I was wondering if anybody had some learning resources for networking that they liked/could vouch for. I'm nearing the end of a college class on it, but Test-Out didn't really do it for me. I just felt like i didn't really learn/retain much. 

I bought the All In One Network+ book by Mike Meyers, which came highly recommended, and its definetly helping a lot. Some peeps on the discord have recommended setting up a home lab with a hypervisor to mess with some of the thing that im learning, and I'm definetly gonna look into that. 

 

Ultimately, I'd like to get the Net+ (and eventually some other certs, but one step at a time). Does anyone have other suggestions that maybe worked for them, or even things to definitely avoid?
