Take the fear away from subnetting and feel comfortable under exam pressure!

Let's admit it. Thinking about different numbering systems can be intimidating. Most of us have worked with the numbers 1-10 (0-9 actually) all of our lives and it's difficult to think using different numbers. I've taught networking students to subnet since 2003 and the problem for most students is that they aren't that good at math. But binary and hexadecimal numbering doesn't even use math we're used to so it can be even more confusing.

Over ten years ago I developed lectures on number conversion for a college that were so powerful I was asked to write a textbook on network subnetting by a major textbook publisher. The challenge was that the lectures were so powerful that I was also offered a promotion and had to move. That meant that I couldn't finish the textbook, but it gives you the ability to experience the content here.

This course contains the original textbook material in article form along with explanatory video lectures, quizzes, and case problems so you get the best of both worlds. You'll get all of the information you need in the video lectures, but you can also read the textbook content, take the quizzes, and complete the case problems to increase your learning.

I designed this course to be easy and accessible to beginners yet also good if you've learned the different numbering systems before and just need a refresher.

At the end of this course you'll know all of the basics of understanding and converting between different numbering systems and be ready for your developer or networking career or certification exams.
