vSphere VCP 510 Study Guide – Prepping up! (VCP5 resources Updated!)
UPDATED: ( Check out my VCP 5 Experience! )
Recently heard some things around the rumor mill that the VMware test has recently been changed/updated in December. I am still getting a lot of feedback that it covers a lot of the things that haven’t changed between vSphere 4 and 5 while at the same time addressing some of the newer features. The previous one seemed to have more to do with vSphere 4.1. Again this is just what I hear on random threads and so forth. I have also updated my resources page and will be working on an offline guide here soon.
So in response to all these opinions I think I have found a solid list to help. I am also working on a documentation source that could be available offline for others to study as we don’t always have internet access. These are a bunch of PDF’s from both websites and VMware alike. If this is a problem I could remove it later. (Click here to get what I have for now)

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor
were just preparing to do some research about this. We got
a grab a book from our local library but I think
I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.
