I don't know about CCDP, but for CCNP Sybex is terrible! I am in the same position as you are right now. My plan to prepare is Cisco Press CID exam certification guide and Top Down Network Design.

It looks to be the best way to gain some design background/information that can help me on a future qwest, CCIE. It should also help me with my present position. Questions or thoughts that come to mind are reference materials. Currently I have Sybex's, CCDP (2000 publication date) which I really have not browsed through, and Top Down Design. So far I have read the Testing and parts of the Documention chapters of Top Down Design. It is a nice book and will be a great resource. Thanks Priscilla for taking the time to write it. Should I venture out and get the CID Cisco Press book or will I be fine with those 2 resources, plus practical experience and CCO? Anyone's thoughts on it are appreciated.
