A primer on what makes our computers and our networks work and how they do so. We'll see the components of a computer, from the motherboard, CPU, Cooling Fans, RAM, Power Supply, and GPU. We'll also look at how to set up and configure a Local Network and learn how information travels along that and how we can connect our computers to each other. IP Addresses, MAC Addresses, Routers and Switches, ports and port forwarding, VLANs, and subnets are some of those topics. And then we'll play with the Python programming language a little bit and see how we can use it to do some things on our Linux server. All in all, several interesting bundles of experiences in the technology area.
