Someone Is Finally Explaining this Stuff
This podcast is talking to the Tech and the Tech's Manager about what really happens in the IT world. That's an interesting approach. I prefer the hands on stuff! I don't use a packet sniffer every day, but I use it enough for these podcasts to have already helped me at my job. Highly recommended.
