@nitesharbale

If you are new to PA there are so many resources from here you can learn form

Youtube has various learning videos from beginner to more advanced one

https://www.youtube.com/c/PaloAltoNetworksLiveCommunity

Also PA has this education website where there are videos for PA different technologies that is free of cost.

I will recommend join the courses there and then by that book.

@MP18

Thankyou for suggesting those useful links. But what do you think about the book i mentioned?

Because I had to write down every imp points from videos/forums which will take lot of time. Thats why i prefer book.

Thankyou.

@nitesharbale

If you are thinking of the book then that's the best book which is out there on PA.

It is written by Tom who has lots of experience in working with PA.

I will highly recommend that book if you want to study from the book.

thanks for the accolade @MP18

🙂

Hi @nitesharbale, I wrote this book specifically so new people would be able to ramp up really quickly, and veterans could pick up on a couple of tricks that aren't well known or documented. I hope you enjoy it if you do get a copy.
