Computer Networking Fundamentals: From Cables to the Cloud
Description
Every website, video call, cloud app and payment depends on networks. Network skills are among the most valuable foundations in IT, because they are needed in support, system administration, cloud and cybersecurity roles alike.
This course explains networking clearly and in a logical order. You will start with the models professionals use to describe networks, then learn IP addressing and subnetting properly, see how switches and routers move traffic, and understand the services such as DHCP and DNS that make networks usable. The final section covers wireless networks and the security controls that protect them.
The goal is understanding, not memorising. When something breaks, you will know where to look and why.
