Thanks for the reply Julia! So the people you met via networking helped you understand what you might need to learn? And what were some of those skills?

Oh! So networking as a discipline, OSI layers, how DNS works, AV setup for workshops, intricacies of HTTP methods, various cURL commands, data loss and reasons for it. I knew some from hacking and the protocols from that but was a script-kiddie when I began that. I did not know programming very well so I touched on it by programs but still years ago I did not know what all of it truly meant in the workings of it. I started understanding it when I was placed in situations which forced me to learn it. You know what I mean? So not social networking but actual network-networking. :)
