This website needs a table of contents! The user experience of needing to click through a linked list to get to a specific chapter is very suboptimal.
There are only 3 chapters so far. I figured a table of contents could wait till after chapter 4 was done haha!
I feel like walkie talkies are something all network engineers need to play with. Furthermore, remember that real world telephone and radio networks were in fact... Networks. (Called 'nets' in the radio world) Ethernet, and 802.11, are both based on the concept of a singular channel shared by many individuals. When Alice talks, she says 'I'm Alice calling Bob, can you hear me Over'. Alice is the source address. Bob i…
> Dave knows to stay off the channel (otherwise he will cause interference) What would be the Bob-Alice-Dave equivalent to replacing the network hub with a switch?
So I guess cellphones instead of one-at-a-time walkie talkies, since everyone on the cellphone network has a unique connection.
What would set this apart from something like Networking a Top-Down Approach ? I read most of it and thought it went into great detail explaining the basics to the general audience. It also doesn't require any programming, well mostly!

Thank you!

Yep, I did have to throw in a bit of pseudocode for some of the microcontroller section.

A friend and I are writing a book on Low-level programming. We are still working on Part 1. The plan is to make it available (along with programming exercises) for free so anyone interested can benefit.
I would love to hear about your plans/experiences on how to spread the word that such material exists for free. Ideas for ensuring the material is found by maximum number of people and benefits them.

When I write software I think of objects and messages in a similar way.
Not sure why but this site is being detected as a malware by our CORP detection system "This site is blocked due to a security threat."
Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what it's hitting on. There's no 3rd party anything. There's not even any javascript.
Fantastic. Thanks for the effort and for making it accessible to many. A friend and I are writing a book on Low-level programming. We are still working on Part 1.
