Computer networking is the backbone of the internet and modern communication. Learn how data travels across networks, understand protocols, and master the concepts that power the connected world.
Computer Networking is the practice of connecting computers and other devices to share resources and communicate. It encompasses everything from local area networks (LANs) to the global internet. Key concepts include the OSI model, TCP/IP protocol suite, routing, switching, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, and network security. Understanding networking is essential for software developers, system administrators, and cybersecurity professionals.
