The aim of the Basics of Network Communication for Software Developers course is to offer a thorough introduction to the principles and practices of network communication from a developer’s perspective. Understanding these concepts is vital for designing and troubleshooting robust networked applications. This course is crafted to provide students with foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary for effective network communication. Key topics covered include: the OSI 7-layer model and its implementation within the TCP/IP protocol stack, naming and name resolution techniques used on the internet, and the basics of routing and switching. Special attention will be given to how these processes affect developers, with a focus on the socket transport layer and its implications for programming. Additionally, the course will provide an overview of authentication mechanisms and highlight common security vulnerabilities in existing communication protocols to illustrate the risks associated with internet communication.
Throughout the course, a variety of instructional methods will be employed, including lectures, hands-on labs, real-world scenarios, and individual assignments. Emphasis will be placed not only on theoretical knowledge but also on practical application. Students will engage in practical exercises and projects, culminating in a final project where they will apply their learning to address real-world networking challenges.
