Internet Technologies (110917) — One‑Pager

Big Goals

• Understand Internet history, governance, protocols, and naming/URL conventions.
• Create/publish simple web content; implement a tiny client/server app.
• Explain connectivity issues (NAT, ISPs, IP addressing) and basic delivery systems.

Evidence to Publish (Portfolio)

• “ATC site” page + program pages; URL/file‑org rationale.
• Client/server mini‑app: HTML form + tiny service (or JSON store) with write‑up of HTTP methods/status.
• Protocol one‑pagers (DNS, HTTP/S, SMTP vs IMAP).

First 12‑Week Milestones

1) Pages enabled + HTML basics + nav.
2) URL/file‑org rationale; PR workflow.
3) Client/server mini‑app; demo and postmortem.
4) Uptime/“broken link” checks and change log.

Safety & Scope Guardrails

• No real credentials committed; use local .env for secrets if needed.

• Follow accessibility basics (alt text, headings) and cite assets.

  Programming hours accumulate here via weekly portfolio sprints and tagged artifacts.
