Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to design, develop, configure and maintain a small home or office network. Furthermore, the student will understand the basic concepts of networking applications design and development. During this course the student will: - get fundamental knowledge about computer communications; - understand the concepts of addressing and routing; - practice building and configuring a realistic small home/office network; - become familiar with Internet protocols: TCP/IP, Ethernet, HTTP, DNS, etc. - be able to identify the basic elements of a computer network and explain their functions; - get a clear overview of existing and future Internet technologies and receive orientation for the networking course, available in TUT. Be aware, that this course is a mandatory prerequisite for *all* the courses on networking.
