In the old days, I have to studies lot of books, documentations, articles,  and learn hard way from experience. Always wonder any network master or expert out there, whose summarizes all these information and knowledge into pictorial base video tutorial. I want to quickly, comprehensively, practically, and easier digest all these technical knowledge.

The search is over. Why not myself create this course series? As a gift from hard-work learner to network beginner.

This course is cover every aspect of networking from basic concept to practical advice in real world networks implementation in a detailed, and pictorial explanation. You will learn about how the actual network data packets look like (in Wireshark), how the network works,  how the network protocols mechanism, and how to configure Cisco switches and routers. Even without go for Cisco exam, you have gain much of networking knowledge, that can be transfer to any "brand" of network.
