¶ … internet is its near-instant access to literally thousands of tutorials, lessons, and how-to guides. Ranging from the mundane to the extremely esoteric, these lessons grant the user amazing amounts of information for free. Technology tutorials are perfect for this medium, as they are usually step-by-step and provide a thorough method of learning.
Windows Networking, a website devoted to learning networking offers a tutorial through the Windows operating system. It's called 10 Ways to Troubleshoot DNS Resolution Issues, and as its name implies it provides a step-by-step guide to solve DNS resolution issues. The author helpfully includes a series of pictures, diagrams and an enumerated list of each issue to guide the reader through the article. Technically this is not a tutorial so much as a how-to guide, but seeing as it focuses on an issue that many network administrators have to deal with on a regular basis, it is an interesting...
It is a useful way to organize it, as you can thoroughly traverse the list and try out each issue and slowly conclude what the problem is. Each enumerated item starts with an explanation about the issue. For instance, the poor network connectivity issue is illustrated by describing how a bad connection can lead to an erroneous belief in a DNS resolution failure. What follows is a clarification of the issue, such as what causes the issue, then a sparse guide on how to solve the problem.
This is a great way to organize each separate issue. It forces you to understand the issue, and the pictures that are helpfully included ensure that your attempts to resolve the issue do not go awry. Furthermore,…
The tutorial is a mixed bag when compared to an effective learning tool. On one hand it does give a thorough list of issues that one could encounter while fixing DNS issues. It does go to great lengths to explain said issues, and even describes how to fix a few of them. Unfortunately, if the user is not accustomed to reading online tutorials or is a novice network administrator, then they will be lost in a world of jargon.
There is one problem with this entire tutorial. While there are plenty of methods to troubleshoot the issues, there are few ways to resolve said issues. Of course one can argue that the article itself is not designed to go over things like that, but it would be nice nonetheless.

learnthat.com/2008/07/network-2008-tutorial / encompasses allows the reader to discover that the tutorial addresses six different areas of networking. Those six areas are of primary concern to those individuals interested in passing not only the latest version (2008) of the networking certification exam, but the 2005 version as well. The six areas of networking interest addressed by the website includes 1) technologies, 2) media and topologies, 3) devices, 4) management, 5)
The organizations are usually run by a core group, which divides the different responsibilities of an operation (e.g. spamming, web design, data collection) among the members. The members run their own outer networks to fulfill those responsibilities -- rarely even having contact with each other online. The decentralized structure of the internet, as well as the high levels of anonymity it provides makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies
Johnson reports that "in 1998, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)1 severely limited the use of copyrighted materials in distance learning. In 2002, the Technology, Education, and Copy- right Harmonization Act (TEACH Act) relaxed these restrictions under specific conditions. These two laws significantly changed the way educators could use copyrighted material in the digital class- room." (Johnson, p. 66) In the section hereafter, the research considers the implications of this
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) Java Network Computing Technologies Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) is a protocol that enables distributed programs located anywhere in the Internet to communicate with each other. It is an interoperability protocol that supports heterogeneous environments. IIOP offers possible communication between applications regardless of the platform and programming elements used in their development. IIOP is an element of Object Management Group's (OMG) standard architecture called CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture).
What the site does lack however more in-depth analysis, computer science-level analysis of the more fascinating technologies pervading the world of it today, including Natural Language Processing. The role of IBM and their progression on this area including their work on patents in latent semantic indexing (IBM Natural Language Processing, 2006) are not as prevalent on this site as it is on others. Correspondingly the issue of data mining from
