Welcome to my notes on networking. I first became interested in this topic when I was building a collaborative WYSIWYG musical editor and realized… I didn’t even know where to start with the “collaborative” piece.
The book I used to learn this topic was High-Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik
the why and what
Before we dive into networking, let’s understand why you should care about it in the first place.
Networking is a critical aspect of computer science that involves the exchange of data and resources between computers over a shared or public network.
It’s useful for:
- Establishing and maintaining reliable and efficient communication channels between devices.
- Enhancing the performance and scalability of web applications and services.
- Securing data transfer and access across networks.
things you can do with this
If you’re anything like me, you’d love to learn this for no reason - but it’s good to know what skills you can expect to learn with this content.
With the material in these pages, you should be able to build:
- Robust network infrastructures that support efficient data transmission.
- Secure and scalable web applications that leverage modern networking protocols.
- Optimization strategies for improving website performance and user experience.
