Network Fundamentals

## Who is this module for?

This module is for developers who are looking to enhance their skills and knowledge of networks and are looking to get started with their journey to become DevOps developers. 

## Module Structure

This module contains _six_ chapters, namely:

1. __Internet and the OSI Model:__

    This chapter introduces us to the internet and its layered architecture, as well as the OSI, and TCP/IP models.

2. __The Application Layer:__
    
    This chapter goes through the application layer of the OSI model. It also teaches us about network application architectures, HTTP, cookies, and DNS. 

3. __The Transport Layer:__

    This chapter introduces us to the transport layer of the OSI model and how the protocols and methods are used by the layer. It also teaches us the concepts of the UDP and TCP protocols. 

4. __An Introduction to Socket Programming with Python:__

    This chapter teaches us the basics of socket programming, and how to set up sockets for both UDP and TCP. 

5. __The Network Layer:__

    This chapter introduces us to the network layer of the OSI model. It also teaches us the Internet Protocol (IP) and the differences between its versions. 

6. __The Link Layer:__

    This chapter introduced us to the data link layer and its principles. It also teaches us about ethernet.
