The computer networking iAdventure will guide through the process of learning about computer networks. Internet is full of knowledge and iAdventure about computer networking aims to structure computer networking knowledge on the web. This iAdventure will show what a computer network is, why is there a  need to have a computer network and eventually it would lead into developing a plan for implementing a computer network that recommends a design for connecting two buildings on a campus via computer network. Different computer networks explained thoroughly assist in the process as iAdventure goes through the paces. There are a certain set of skills that are needed before embarking on this iAdventure, and a whole lot of new skills that would be taught in a gradual step by step fashion to take the reader through gaining familiarity with computer networks.

This by far is not a comprehensive guide to computer networks, since the topic is far too broad to be covered in an introductory class. The main purpose here is to learn enough about computer networks so that  a foundation for further learning establishes. The information presented in this iAdventure and links recommended are fairly straightforward and easy to follow. None the less some preliminary knowledge is assumed of the student and is outlined in the background section. Information presented is ideal for high school seniors and college freshmen. Anyone else with the same level of education and a desire to learn basics of computer networking is also a good candidate for this iAdventure. These people should be familiar with the basic workings of computers. This can not be overemphasized so that everyone is afforded an equal learning opportunity, and make learning with iAdventure fun.

There is a Site Map included on this web page as a valuable guide to all users. Site Map on this page is a nice lead to a collection of links used by our  iAdventure; it shows how information is organized and can be used to jump to different sections of the iAdventure if desired or if a need arises. Any time iAdventure knowledge seekers can skip to a different part of the iAdventure using this tool. It will prove to be a indispensable in allowing navigation through iAdventure quick and painless.It is a good idea to take a few minutes to get familiar with it.
