Reviews
This was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.
Its interesting if you like understanding how the internet works. There is a lot moving parts involved for everything to work smothly. It changed what I had thought about it before I took this course.
Great course. It is great for beginners and for people that may have forgotten a thing or two. The way it was taught makes it so much better than reading man pages or something else as dry and boring.
Top-Notch! Great instructor and amazing course structure. I highly recommend this course who wants to pursue a career in computer networking who has little to no knowledge of computer communications.
