Networking Fundamentals
Definition

Computer networking is the practice of connecting computers and other devices to


share resources.

Types of Networks:

LAN (Local Area Network): Small area like a home or office.

WAN (Wide Area Network): Covers a large area, like the internet.

MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a city or campus.

Common Networking Terms:

IP Address: Unique address of a device on a network.

DNS (Domain Name System): Translates domain names to IP addresses.

Router: Directs data between networks.

Switch: Connects devices within a LAN.

7. Cybersecurity Basics

Cybersecurity involves protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital


attacks.

Common Threats:

Malware: Viruses, Worms, Trojans

Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information

Ransomware: Malware that encrypts data and demands payment

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service): Flooding a system to make it unavailable

Best Practices:

Use strong, unique passwords

Regular software updates

Firewalls and antivirus software

Data encryption

8. Emerging Trends in Computer Science

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Machines simulating human intelligence.

Machine Learning (ML): Algorithms that learn from data.

Blockchain Technology: Secure, decentralized data storage (used in cryptocurrency).

Internet of Things (IoT): Devices connected via the internet.


Quantum Computing: Computing using quantum bits (qubits) for faster processing.

9. Tips for Excelling in Computer Science

Practice coding regularly on platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codewars.

Build small projects to apply theoretical knowledge.

Learn both theoretical and practical aspects of algorithms and data structures.

Stay updated with new technologies and frameworks.

Collaborate on coding projects to improve problem-solving and teamwork skills.
