Dr. Terry A. Jackson, PhD, MBA, BS - E-mail | Vita
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Introductory course to internetworking, including an in-depth study of the architecture of network interconnections, the internet services, and the protocols needed to provide these services. Topics include architecture of interconnected networks, Internet addresses and the address resolution problem, Internet protocols, the domain name systems, the socket interface, the client-server model of interacting, the OSI transport and application support protocols, and the TCP/IP application protocols.
INTRODUCTION:
Our earliest documentation for the emergence of computers came 5,000 years ago in Asia Minor and some of its principles are still used today. We will be exploring the early concepts of computing machines, inventors, and the history from its earliest beginning to present day.
Since the material covered in this course would take numerous textbooks, I have developed Lecture Notes per Module. Each lecture note has links to extended learning skill sets within the module. These links will enhance a deeper understanding of the basis of Operating Systems and how they became what that are today.
You'll be amazed how our technology has changed over the years, and how these men and women had the vision to pursue our future.
