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.

The course had some ups and downs, but it was a good challenge and I did it! I learned so much and I never knew I could do this kind of course. I have gained so much knowledge now from when I started.

I admit to being skeptical at first that I could learn as much as I am learning - but I'm a believer. This isn't a fluffy course, and the instructor is knowledgeable, clear, and even entertaining. Very well planned and executed.

The "Bites and Bytes" course taught me a lot about how various storage methods and data management techniques interact. While I found some networking topics challenging, I'm eager to build on this knowledge in upcoming courses.

I had limited experience with networking, so a lot of this material was new to me. There was a lot to learn, but they break it down into manageable pieces. I feel much more confident in my networking abilities after this class.

This course was very well done. I especially liked the walk through descriptions of the TCP protocol stack and the make up of packets and frames. I like the exams that use the labs. I'm a hands on learner and they helped a lot.

This taught me a lot. You are similar to CBT nuggets, but I prefer these courses for the quizzes. This was extremely informative and similar to a CBT nuggets course I took. It was also much more difficult than the first course.

Muy buen curso, la verdad la forma de explicar es increíble, aprendes mucho y no se hace pesado. Es cierto que lo que enseñan es un poco superficial, pero sirve para aprender los conceptos y luego por tu cuenta investigar más.

This course definitely makes you think about the how extroardinary the networking world is. Have you ever wondered the behind-scene process of sending text messages to our friends? Well, this course is the one you should take.

One of the most difficult courses I have faced here. I learned a lot some stuck and some didn't, but this is one course that I definitely have to go back and watch a few lessons because it was that difficult. Best of luck all!

Challenging but doable. I had to watch some videos several times and do some reading of my own before I could fully understand certain concepts, but it was really worth it.

Pay special attention to the Transport layer content!

One suggestion to improve upon the abstraction of learning about the ethernet frames & ip datagrams would be to show a specific example of how these protocols would physically look like while troubleshooting out in the field.

a pesar que ya se sobre esto (algo avanzado) siempre se verán temas que uno no había visto, cosas mínimas puede ser. Este es un gran curso aunque hubiese preferido que fuese mas especifico en el área de redes y conectividad.

Very informational, make sure to take notes. I am usually not a note taker but I used them to refer back to during tests. Make sure to do the supplemental readings. The tests ask questions based on them more than the videos.

This course is a very good one to reach some entry-level about Networking and how the computer communicates between small or big networks and how some network devices interact and communicate with each other similar devices.

Overall this program is an excellent source of information that has helped me better understand the IT world and concepts that have never been clearly described to me before.

It's already helping me perform better at my job.

Very excellent way to learn about the fundamentals of networks and they data is passed along. Just wish there were examples of what problems may arise from corrupted packets or how to detect and diagnose the network traffic.
