Unix Processes and Communications

This course provides an in-depth exploration of networking fundamentals, network protocols, and file management within Unix-based systems. Designed for learners aiming to gain a thorough understanding of how Unix systems communicate over networks, this course covers key topics such as IP addressing, various networking protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, DNS), network troubleshooting, and security. Students will learn how to configure network settings, use command-line tools to troubleshoot network issues, and apply knowledge of network layers and protocols. The course will enable learners to define, explain, analyze, and compare networking concepts, while gaining practical skills necessary to navigate and manage Unix-based networks efficiently. The course uses Bloom's Taxonomy to help learners move from foundational knowledge to higher-level thinking, ensuring mastery of both theoretical concepts and practical applications in networking and protocols. Through a mix of theory, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, learners will be equipped to address real-world networking challenges in Unix environments
