During the process of writing the documentation necessary for the VCDX certification, I read several books and a fair number of blog articles. One article in particular that I found helpful was from Derek Seaman’s blog.

In the spirit of paying it forward, I am going to share my own table of contents for others to use as a starting point. No two will be the same and some of the things I included may not be necessary in your own design — you may even feel there are sections that are missing from my own. If nothing else, I hope it can be a starting point for you in the journey towards earning the VCDX certification.
