Free Online Course Title: An Introduction to Computer Networks
Start Date: October 8, 2012
About the Course
This is an introductory course on computer networking, specifically the Internet. It focuses on explaining how the Internet works, ranging from how bits are modulated on wires and in wireless to application-level protocols like BitTorrent and HTTP. It also explains the principles of how to design networks and network protocols. Students gain experience reading and understanding RFCs (Internet protocol specifications) as statements of what a system should do. The course grounds many of the concepts in current practice and recent developments, such as net neutrality and DNS security.
You will be awarded a signed certificate from Stanford University after successful completion of the course. Though this online course gets you zero credits, the certificate will help you finding your future endeavors. Watch the following video from course instructors.
