¶ … RAD University's website contains many tutorials on the world of technology. Ranging from the basic to the most complicated. RAD's tutorials are a decent way to dip into the abstract nature of technology without being forced to deal with the most simplistic, basic lessons. Two tutorials in specific epitomize most of RAD's tutorials: The ARP and Protocols & Servers tutorials. Both of these tutorials are representative of these lessons in general: they are amateurish yet filled with useful information. The ARP (or Address Resolution Protocol) tutorial is not interactive, like many lessons on the site. Instead it reads like a Wikipedia article, with a short table of contents followed by a well organized article. The tutorial itself, despite the fact that there are some poorly worded sentences and clunky metaphors, is very clear in its purpose. The lessons covers the need for ARP, the historical context behind it,...

If the user only needs the basics of ARP, and does not mind overlooking the occasional poorly-worded sentence or jargon-filled statement, then the ARP tutorial will be more than beneficial. On the other hand if the user does not understand the basic concepts that the lesson tends to gloss over, then they will obviously drop out from confusion. Take, for instance, this sentence: "Each host will have a table (ARP cache) to maintain a mapping between each IP address (for which it has datagrams to send) and its corresponding physical address." As anyone can see, this sentence is hardly the paragon of clarity a tutorial needs to be. Despite that, however, I found myself learning quite a bit as I went through this lesson. Ignoring the disjointed sentence structure in favor of the well organized paragraph structure…

RAD university website. This author picked the tutorials on the SCTP, TCP and UDP protocols. The essay will include a brief description of the tutorials, what they teach and why these particular ones were picked. It will specifically touch upon advantages that the protocols in the tutorials provide businesses in network applications. This is important because we need to understand how these technologies apply to achieve goals for businesses. Tutorials

Computer Security by Rozeberger and Zeldich. The tutorial gave a basic overview of computer security, including viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. It discussed how to avoid attacks or at least to become aware of the potential of attacks. The tutorial also looked at how hackers work, to help explain how breaks are performed. I chose this tutorial because I believe that computer security is one of the most significant

right from the start. That I chose this was first was not primarily due to it being listed first (although that was a contributing factor) but that I was also interested in learning what it had to say about ARP. The tutorial was interesting in that it discussed in detail the purpose of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) as well as other insights that might not have been included in

In addition, The potential for IPv6 to significantly reduce the overall costs of supporting an enterprise-wide network are also very clear as well. ATM portals and technologies are ideal for creating a unified computing and networking platform corporate-wide, especially if a company has operations in several countries, and across continents. The speed and bandwidth considerations of running a global enterprise are also accentuated by this technology, as is a drastic

The main lesson learned from viewing the tutorials and programs is the ease and flexibility of configuring each specific session to the unique needs of an audience. Feasibly these technologies could be used for creating highly unique and tailored learning experiences for students who were learning through online universities only for example. The ability to tailor all forms of digital content, from music and video to drawing boards and

intext citations. Thanks First, there are several software development techniques that can be used in the development process. The waterfall approach proposes a sequence of phase whereby one phase is determined by the completion of the previous phase (CMS, 2008). This would mean, for example, that the design phase needs to be completed before the actual development phase begins, which needs to be completed before the testing phase starts.
