rushendra Marco Alka I agree that the "networking" term is more related to connecting with other people in the Software development space, but not so much in the Infrastructure world, it is one of the structural pillars of any infrastructure platform (cloud, on-premises datacenters, etc).
rushendra now network in general is really broad as well. Fro example:
- You have infrastructure networking (enterprise, cloud, datacenter) focused on services interconnectivity.
- There is also network security, which goes hand in hand with ethical hacking (you might be interested in that).
- Or you just want to be better and develop software applications that handle the network in a much more reliable manner?
Either way you need to start with the fundamentals of networking. My suggestion would be to start something like the OSI-model:
- Start with basic understanding of computer-computer communication. Learn the basics of IMAC/P addressing.
- Continue with the transport layer: TCP/UDP
- Learn application layer protocols like HTTP/HTTPS and DNS.
You can see here) for a more verbose list of protocols out there.
I don't know in which level you are understanding networking principles. Here is a good video for beginners.
For a more specialised approach you might want to browse Cisco Security track and specialisation paths. In general, the Cisco training path is a really good learning approach to networking.
Hope that helps!
