Diving into the world of programming has been interesting so far, and my first week was packed with tons of things I did not know and hands-on experiences. Here’s a glimpse of what I’ve learned so far:
🌐 Building a Responsive Website: I created a responsive website using HTML, showcasing the city I live in. I haven't used HTML since MySpace! lol
🤔 Who Owns the Internet? I was today years old to know that no single entity, including the government, owns the internet. It's a global network of networks, governed by protocols and standards.
🔌 Network Components & Connections: I learned the basics of network infrastructure, understanding end devices, intermediate devices, and network media. This foundational knowledge is key for me to grasp how data travels across the internet.
📶 The true definition of "Bandwidth": I finally understand what bandwidth really means – it's not about a person's capacity lol, but the rate at which data is transmitted over a network connection.
💻 Bits and Bytes: Did you know the word "computer" has 64 bits? Eight bits make a byte, so 64 bits equal 8 bytes. Simple, but yet a fundamental concept in computing that I now know :)
🚀 Supercomputers Are Real: Yes, they do exist! The US has the most supercomputers in the world with 161, including the world's fastest supercomputer, Frontier.
I am excited for the weeks ahead and all the new knowledge and skills to come! Tune in next week for more learnings.
