Full Stack Engineering - Networking

One does not deserve the title “Full Stack Engineer” simply because one does front end and back end development. There's a lot of stack inbetween those localities that have very tangible impacts on the run time performance and evolution of the systems you build.It's possible to ignore the network as a software engineer, but it isn't advisable.

In this workshop we will introduce you to the fundamentals of networking and where and how it touches the software you build and use. We will focus on the layering of standards and protocols and the impact they have.Beyond deepening your understanding of the basics that you are probably at least notionally familiar with, we will cover modern, pluggable networking frameworks, design considerations, and new directions that networking is going in the 21st Century. Come deepen the stack that you can claim to command.
