COURSE DESCRIPTION If you are interested in knowing how the newest (though not the greatest) of the modern tehcnological wonders Internet & World Wide Web works, what goes on silently on the millions of interconnected computers at the speed of nano and microseconds to bring you information, documents, and services from half a world apart from millions, just by the click of a button, this is the course for you. This is not a course to learn HTML or JAVA programming. Rather, this is about the components (technologies) of Internet, how all of these are working, and their design. We will cover topics ranging from networks to open arch server/cleint systems. To complete our indepth learning, this course involves practical group project where students build their own mini Server and mini Browser. This is the starting point for web application engineers and developers. If your thesis/ dissertation involves systems linked with web, this is for you too. |
WHO SHOULD TAKE?
|
WHATS SPECIAL?Internet Engineering Teaching Laboratory. It is a new laboratory and is a piece of the real Internet backbone with industrial strength routers and high performance links.The
students in the class will use this lab, and get first hand experinece
in the technology that is running today's Internet. This experince will
be invaluable
in understainding the technologies running large networks (such as
national
backbone or ISP network). There is only few such facilities in USA. COURSE FORMAT |
WHAT STUDENTS WILL
LEARN?
