IP Addresses
Throughout this short course, we will look at IP Addresses and how they are used, how they function and why.
If you are in the IT industry in any way, you should have the fundamental knowledge of IP Addresses. As the world (and not only the world) moves more towards networked and internet based services, understanding how they are connected is vital.
