About this Course

A computer network is a group of computers connected to each other for the purpose of sharing resources and exchanging data. Networks can range from a small group of personal computers in a home or small office to large, global networks that connect millions of devices. The most common type of computer network is the Internet, which is a global network of interconnected computers. Other types of networks include local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wireless networks. In a computer network, devices communicate with each other using standardized protocols, which define the rules for exchanging data over the network. Some common networking protocols include TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which is used by the Internet, and Ethernet, which is used by many LANs. Computer networks allow users to share resources, such as printers and files, and to collaborate on projects in real-time. They also provide access to the Internet, which enables users to exchange email, browse websites, and stream multimedia content. Computer networks play a critical role in modern society, as they facilitate communication and enable the exchange of information and resources on a global scale. They have also revolutionized the way people work and interact with each other, making it possible to connect and collaborate with people anywhere in the world.
