It would be disingenuous for us to make the climb using the ropes people left for us without leaving our own ropes to help the people who follow.  We wish you success in your climb.

 ## Exam Topics
 
 :notebook_with_decorative_cover: The [Cisco DCAUTO exam topics](https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/dcauto-exam-topics "Cisco DCAUTO Exam Topics"){target=_blank} cover a variety of skills.  Some of those skills are specific to Cisco products and solutions (ACI, Nexus, Intersight, etc.), while others are product-agnostic, foundational infrastructure automation and programmability skills (Git, Python, Ansible, etc.).
 
-:books: This is the fourth DevNet exam that we've studied for, yet the first for which we struggled to find a curated set of resources from which to study.  As we amassed notes, links, and our own code snippets, we organized everything into categories corresponding to the four sections in the Exam Topics list, so there is no ambiguity about finding the resources you need.

 ## Getting Started
 
 :rocket: For us, liftoff is the hardest part of the study process.  Getting our computers set up in a way that allows us to study and take notes _always_ seems to take _way_ more time than we think it will.  To make that process easier for you, we tried to make the study resources in this guide as portable and consumable as possible.
 
-:computer: We think the best way to study for the DCAUTO exam is to have a great development environment, so we packaged one right into the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/wwt/dcauto-study-resources "DCAUTO Study Resources GitHub Repository"){target=_blank} which supports this site.  The study material content doesn't change whether you choose to use our development environment, use the files in the GitHub repository to build a development environment from source, or use your own development environment.  These are the tools that we *recommend* to get started with your DCAUTO exam study:

+During our exam preparation we didn't spend a ton of dedicated time on the topics in this section because:
 
 - These particular topics are pretty familiar to us from previous DevNet exam study work (DEVASC, ENAUTO, & DEVCOR)
 - We help teach these topics in our free, ongoing, open-to-the-public [DevNet Study Group](https://www.wwt.com/community/cisco-devnet-study-groups "WWT DevNet Study Group Community"){target=_blank} meetings.
 - We work with many of the topics daily.
 
-We do, however, remember exactly how we felt when these topics were new to us, and we have plenty of resources to share.  Also, we included some general Ansible references that we found helpful in this section since the exam topics in each of the subsequent sections have an Ansible automation element.
