Text: Jeanna Matthews' "Computer Networking:
Internet Protocols in Action"
and various online resources
An introduction to the various technologies behind the internet, including packets, TCP/IP, DNS, HTML, CSS, and a whole lot of other acronyms.
The course will be roughly divided into two parts: one on
internet infrastucture, and one on creating and hosting web pages.
Depending on the background of the participants, we may also do a little JavaScript, the programming language that makes web pages "do" things.
Further internet related work at Marlboro (such as the Web Programming class) builds on the material in this course.
Prerequisite: none
