Lots of great information surrounding the basics of networking. Don't get too frustrated with topics such as subnetting, it will come with time and don't forget to supplement this learning with other resources as well. :D

This was a lot of material and I'd love to dive in deeper, especially on some of those concepts that didn't quite stick. But as far as an overview of this massive subject, I applaud this course and its lovely instructor.

Really well designed course that moves quite intuitively from the most basic physical devices needed to establish an internet connections, all the way through the complexities of the full networking model and its layers.

This course is not easy. I already have basic knowledge of networks and have to rewatch most of this course to absorb the information and understand it. Jam packed with good information. Thanks for putting this together.

SOOOOOO much information!!! It's definitely a lot of memorization of key terms that make up Part 2 of 6.It's very interesting to learn HOW computers work together at blazing speeds to allow us to surf the web seamlessly.

There was a TON of information. I found listening to the lectures a few times definitely helped the concepts stick. Also the project of explaining the 5 layer network REALLY solidified what I had learned in that section.

The course was thorough. I recommend picking up a related hobby if you don't work in a related field. There's so much to learn I could hardly hold on to the knowledge. It is manageable and the videos are well organized.

Amazing course!!!

Still in shock of how great this course is!!!

It really opened my eyes and helped me to understand in depth of how computer networking works, and also taught me new commands to use while troubleshooting.

This part of the course was challenging. The material was a bit technical at times. I found it helpful to research some of the topics offline and that allowed me to follow along better with the topics being discussed.

The instructor for this course is THE BEST. This course is packed with to-the-point explanations and it couldn't get any easier than this. I would very much like to enroll in the future courses with the same instructor.

Absolutely amazing. There's so much valued content in this course. You have to be willing to continue, even if it's really difficult to order all the vocabulary and the concepts. But completing it is really satisfying.

The Course was amazing. But I would like to say, we need more practice in the course. Actually I have been waiting that we should a TCP protocol configuration e.g. manually entered IP addresses or DNS server addresses.

Very well rounded and detailed course with up to date concepts and bits of history. Quizzes and projects do a good job of testing information retention, and is overall a very well laid out and important course. Thanks!

Very informational about the inner workings of Networking, there was stuff that I knew how to do but did not understand why they worked or how it happened in the back end. Now I know thanks to this course. Recommended.

I never did Networking in my entire carrer I only did Programming, with what I learned in this course I'm now able to do my own projects. I would like to work with Google as a Network Engineer

Thanks to the Google Team

Me encantó el curso, inicialmente te da unas nociones básicas acerca de lo que vas a ver, y luego comienza a profundizar sobre cada una de las partes que componen el tema sin hacerse aburrido, lo recomiendo totalmente

Very informative, I felt like some information on the quizzes or tests was not in the lessons or were not covered enough, I had to go outside the course to obtain more in depth information, which I guess is the point.

Found this a challenging course but the instructor did a good job explaining all of the many aspects of networking. Feel like I definitely need some "hands-on" experience to really make sure I understand the material.

It's a bit of a long course full of videos, but if you manage to get through to the end it's worth it. I really like the video format of learning. This course helped me a lot to remind things that i've learned before
