This course unravels the magic of computer networks. We explore the layered architecture of networking, primarily through the lens of the TCP/IP model. You'll learn about everything from the physical cables to the application protocols that power the web. We cover IP addressing, subnetting, routing, and the critical differences between TCP and UDP. You will understand the role of essential services like DNS and DHCP that make the internet work seamlessly.
Essential for computer science students and anyone pursuing a career in networking, cloud computing, or cybersecurity. No prior networking experience is assumed.
