Course Description

This course is part-one of the nine-part series that starts by taking an in-depth look at how the internet facilitates the movement of data packets across both LANs (Local Area Network) and WANs (Wide Area Network). Students learn how to interpret various protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPs, SMTP and FTP. We examine the entire flow and life-cycle of data-packet movement from origin to destination. The course examines the role of DNS and SMTP servers in routing internet traffic and email transmissions. Mechanism to safeguard the movement of data, such as network routers, ports and firewalls, are also explored.

Students are then introduced to the web development process and planning stages of building websites and complex web applications. We conduct an overview of web hosting infrastructures such as shared, VPS, Dedicated and Cloud hosting solutions through case analysis. We then take a look at the role of Domain name registrars and ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Students learn to register and administer domain names through the GoDaddy domain management console. Management features such as Name Server assignment, auto-renewal, domain privacy, and domain forwarding will be covered.

With first-hand insights into the creation of effective web infrastructures and domain management, students learn to configure local testing servers. This includes installing and configuring WAMP/MAMP (Windows/MAC, Apache, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin) on a PC or MAC system. We discuss the role of each essential service as it applies to testing dynamic, database-driven web applications on a local computing system.

Students then explore the configuration of a live production server using popular cloud hosting providers such as Linode. This includes deployment and administration of Ubuntu on Linux based distributions and essential web services (LAMP Stack - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin) on scalable virtual machines. Several remote access tools such as PuTTy and Terminal will be used to administer virtual servers through the use of command lines. Servers will be configured with security in mind, using multi-user accounts, SSH authentication, and file permission management.

Students also learn to install and connect to their virtual machines using remote desktop connection tools such as Tight VNC and Real VNC. The entire Linode management console will be explored to demonstrate how to complete various tasks including: creating backups, server re-sizing, changing root passwords, DNS management, and general administration.

Lastly, the course takes a look at FTP clients and establishing connections from local machines to production servers to upload web content. We will explore the FileZilla interface and provide demonstrations on uploading, deleting and modifying remote server files.

As I have no IT background, it might take me a while to understand the whole topic. But it is explained slowly and hopefully i can understand at least partially. Thank you.

By Hlumelo Dube on 2/20/2024

over the journey of watching the videos they become more informative and the link between videos also helps with the understanding of the next video.

By Justine Awunudo on 7/5/2023

Great course, I got a lot of valuable info that I know will be useful for a very long time. I will definitely refer back to this course in the future.

By Waldemar Schweizer on 8/22/2021

Excellent course. Very interesting and informative. Topics are explained in detail and shown using examples. I am really enthusiastic and can only recommend this course for those interested. Thank you very much!

By Duck Pelago on 6/29/2021

The material covered was very well chosen. The instructor walks through many of the steps of setting up local and remote web dev environments. The instruction was on the whole very clearly presented. The course is worth the time and money. It will familiarize students with what to expect and how to handle common issues that can save many headaches that would have otherwise occur.

Really it was a good course carefully presented by a great tutor. More power to his elbow. The tutor took his time to teach the students as if they are present in the class. Kindly connect me with an ICT /Web developers in Nigeria. I am eager to see myself doing these stuffs practically - live.

It was very informative lectures, and teaching is really hitting the very root of the information, so far it's very enjoyable of following the stories and determination to follow closely of what was being said or mention to our hard-working teacher to build web site information, thanks a lot appreciated all your hard works in this regard. regard Rhewel

It was awesome for me. And that something as valuable as this is free? Wow! I'm really grateful. We learn Web dev but many tutors don't go as far as teaching how we see what we see on our computers and what works behind the scenes of our code. I also recommend this course as a precursor to anyone planning to learn cloud tech. Really! It'll help a lot. This course is phenomenal!

By Jawad Ul Hassan on 3/25/2020

I am not going to use Linode Server soon but I must admit that I came to udemy after very long time because of the corona pendamic and this is one of the best course I would say. In fact being a web developer myself I was unaware of few things since I am mostly use to with share servers and rarely get a chance to work on cloud base interfaces. I am pretty sure that I can easily use this course as reference for any of my future adventures with cloud and linux based hosting servers if needed and must to see for Linode server. Keep up the good work. Must to have this course in a developers collection.

By João Vitor Dutra Pacheco Gois on 2/5/2020

The course shows a step by step process how to buy a domain register, set up and run both test and production servers. I'm probably gonna use this course as a reference in the future.
