Subject: Fundamentals of Computer Networking

I hope these notes can make your journey of learning “Computer Networking” a fun ride, I will try to make these notes as thorough and intricate so that you can get essential concepts that supports the operation of networks.

🎯 What’s This All About?

Ok, so let’s imagine you are trying to send a message to your friend who is living very far or even other side of the world, How does that message travel across in a blink of an eye (depends on the internet speed but you know what I am trying to say.), That’s the magic of “Networking!” In these notes we’ll try to see how this magic works o.O

NOTE

• How the Internet Works: The backbone of our digital life
• Protocols: The “languages” computers use to talk to each other
• Network Architecture: How all the pieces fit together
• Security: Keeping our digital interactions safe
• And much more!

🧠 Overwhelmed?

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? you should be! All you need is, Ph. D. in Computer Science and… Nah just kidding you don’t need to even know about computers💀yha all you need is:

• A curious mind
• Willingness to learn

💡 Why Should You Even Care?

It’s like having a superpower in our connected world. Here’s why it’s awesome:
