During the pandemic, I took the time to create a set of high quality, cohesive, and practical Networking training videos that would teach anyone the core of Networking: How Data moves through a Network.

The videos are available on Youtube, and I wanted to share them with this community.

Thirteen videos to teach you Networking:

• Network Devices - Part 1 - Hosts, Clients, Servers, IP Addresses, Networks
• Network Devices - Part 2 - Repeaters, Hubs, Switches, Routers
• OSI Model - Part 1 - Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3
• OSI Model - Part 2 - Layer 4, Layer 5/6/7, Encapsulation De-Encapsulation
• Everything Hosts do to speak to other Hosts on the Same network
• Everything Hosts do to speak to other Hosts on the Foreign networks
• Everything Switches do to facilitate communication - Part 1
• Everything Switches do - Part 2 - Unicast Flooding, VLANs, Multiple Switches
• Everything Routers do - Part 1 - Routing Table and how it's Populated
• Everything Routers do - Part 2 - Using the Routing Table and ARP table to forward packets
• Everything Routers do - Part 3 - Network Design - Router Hierarchies - Route Summarization
• Networking Protocols - ARP, FTP, SMTP, HTTP, SSL, TLS, HTTPS, DNS, DHCP
• Packet Traveling - Watch a packet travel through: Host Switch Router Internet Router Host

I'd recommend first sampling a video or two to see if you enjoy my teaching style. If you do, then go back and start from the beginning. All the videos are meticulously crafted to build upon prior content and take you "all the way there" to understanding Networking.

The idea behind the series is to teach you Networking in a vendor and device agnostic manor. This means what you learn in this series will apply to any type of Networking. Cisco? Comptia? Juniper? Cloud Networking? IoT? Yup, this will apply.

Our modern age has everything connected to the Internet, and everyone in IT should have some idea of how Networking works. This series can give you that.

Long term I thought about turning this into a full Networking course, but for now I'm content giving these lessons away for free (which would be the first module of the course).

I worked particularly hard on this series to ensure it drives the most value for your time. I earnestly believe you will be hard pressed to find a better set of Networking training videos. I am, as always, open to feedback to the contrary.

I hope you enjoy this content. Please feel free to share any feedback (positive or negative) in this thread =).

Cheers.
