In recent courses Cisco Networking Academy is introducing the idea of communities of practice
Communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor: a tribe learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new forms of expression, a group of engineers working on similar problems, a clique of pupils defining their identity in the school, a network of surgeons exploring novel techniques, a gathering of first-time managers helping each other cope. In a nutshell:
- Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.

For our interests, CoPs used by networking programmers include:
- GitHub
- Stack Overflow
- Cisco DevNet
The Network Programmability with Cisco APIC-EM course refers to Communities of Practice (also known as Cop). If as a BiASC member, you want to have access to the Emerging Technologies APIC-EM course materials, please send an email to <yvan.rooseleer@biasc.be>
