SDN Bootcamp

by Łukasz Bromirski & Robert Ślaski

This repository contains SDN bootcamp materials, that can be used (obviously) even without attending the bootcamp.

We invite you however to enlist and attend the bootcamp - if you're network engineer, you may even consider it a must :) If you want to join us, please get in touch with CSH Hector and secure your slot!

If you're looking for additional resources, take a look here.
