#7Fundamentals. How networks work, e.g http, TCP/IP, UDP, icmp. Basic security, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF. SQL databases, normalization, indexes for queries. Application and implications of distributed concensus algorithms. Program decomposition and composition. Big-O time/space algorithm efficiency. If you know these things in any context they can all be readily applied in another.
