Cisco Press publishes Content Networking Fundamentals

Detail from the cover of Content Networking Fundamentals.
Silvano DaRos (MEng Internetworking 1999-2000) has written a book, Content Networking Fundamentals. The book introduces networking professionals to Cisco content networking solutions, the most comprehensive end-to-end content networking solution in the industry with 40 per cent of existing market share. "If it wasn't for the INWK program in the first place, I wouldn't have had the opportunities that I've had, including working for Cisco and Cisco Press certainly would have reconsidered publishing this book if I hadn't had the education and work experience," says Silvano DaRos.
