Even though we don't all have all the answers if we have a strong solid foundation and understanding we can quickly find the answers.  I believe that a solid foundation and understanding of networking can take you to places in your career you may have never imagined!

In this video we talk in the most simplistic form about what a network is.

What is a network?  A network is two or more computing devices connected by medium that share resources.  Sound complicated?  It isn't once you think about it.

Some of the networks you may run across are:
LAN - Local Area Network
WAN - Wide Area Network
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
CAN - Campus or Controller Area Network
PAN - Personal Area Network
