Just starting VACP study since VCP in Dec 2009 so well behind.
Great set of study notes only one suggestion to aid in reference would be to add page numbers.
Have you passed the exam?

Started preparation for VACP -DCA. PDF /web content is real good. Thanks for all the efforts.
Perfect! Since we need to cover from CLI to heartBeat to pass this exam, I have not gotten clue where to start studying.
Thank you very much for sharing valuable information.
Thanks for the resources Sean, this is Awesome!
PDF is very helpful…
Really a good stuff …. the efforts taken to develop is admirable . any idea how long one needs to prepare for VCAP …. just a heads up ….. for an intermediate level knowledge
Thanks for the collection.
You have a broken link for PDF V3
Thanks for the heads up. I am doing a lot of maintenance today and making some url changes so sorry for that, but it should be back up and available in about 10-15 minutes.
