Audio Presentation Table Of Contents

Wondering what this audio course covers? Then take a look on this page.

The audio presentation is divided up into 10 CDs.  Each CD is divided into a number of tracks, each about ten minutes long.  We've cross-indexed the tracks and subject description to the slide numbers printed in the Audio Companion.  So, for example, if you wanted to re-visit the subject of how split-brain DNS works, then you'd listen to track 4 on CD disc number 3.  The accompanying PowerPoint slides in the Audio Companion would be numbers 103-104.

This table of contents also appears in the front of the Audio Companion.
