Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what it's hitting on. There's no 3rd party anything. There's not even any javascript.
Wild guess: Due to overlap with previously flagged activity (the specific IPs currently pointed to by Cloudflare, or their system overly broadly marked gcp-us-west1-1.origin.onrender.com.cdn.cloudflare.net)

You're welcome! I did the doodles myself.
Amazing. Well done! How long have you been working on the book?
May be it's just me and the kind of people I have been meeting who do not seem to have as much patience and time and would prefer getting hands-on experience quickly.
I can see how I might sound complaining about going through ~30 pages of information whereas full books with several hundred pages take much longer to read and this is relatively much shorter.
I'm curious what specific mistakes you're thinking of that application developers make when they don't understand computer networks. In my limited experience, the rudimentary abstraction "messages are sent, they're not instant and they might not make it" has generally been sufficient, aside from DNS issues. I learned some networking in college (CS241 at UIUC) and it was really interesting, but I feel I've forgotten almost everything from lack of use. Maybe I've done terrible things as a result. I think I and many others could really benefit from a list of common pitfalls by networking newbs.
The answers I get have taught me that most programmers don't have a basic understanding of how the internet works outside of their narrow specialty. I'm definitely a bit guilty of this. OP do you plan to cover stuff used in IOT? Treating HTTP as a magic black box kind of works fine until you have to consider MQTT, COAP etc.
Potentially, once I cover the more basic topics. Part 1 will cover essentially a simplified Ethernet network (plus a few additions). Part 2 will cover the internet as it existed about 20 years ago. And part 3 will cover modern additions. I’ve done some IOT work so it is something that interests me.
I’ve struggled to find a book that doesn’t just hand wave layer 1 and assume layer 2 is ethernet everywhere.
