This page gives the steps of learning Software Defined Networking.
Hint: The following repository collects a series of relevant resources of SDN. We recommend you to read it first: awesome-sdn
This repository has submodules so that you should clone it as follows:
git submodule update --init --recursive
To update submodules:
git submodule update --remote --merge
