Apply yourself to these terms and concepts and you will gain knowledge that is presented in a very understandable way. Watch and rewatch the course videos and I promise it will all start making sense!

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

This is good course.

Logical block exercises are very good for learning in my opinion. Courses need to use more of this kind of exercises.

This gave a really good intro to networking. It also dove more in-depth but not so much that someone new to the subject couldn't follow.
