A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Internet fundamentals and history

Internet fundamentals and history focus on what the Internet is, how it is structured as a global network of networks, and the major stages in its development. For exams, you must understand the basic concepts, key historical milestones, and the difference between the Internet itself and the services that run on it, because these are frequently tested in definitions, comparisons, and short factual questions.
