The Road Ahead — In this bootcamp we covered what matters most not everything in Networking
Networking is not a topic you finish - it is a layer underneath everything in tech.
You will meet networking again in Linux - file permissions, SSH, network commands, sockets.
You will meet it again in containers - Docker has its own networking model, bridge networks, port mapping.
And then again in container orchestration - Kubernetes networking is a world of its own.
This bootcamp was not just networking. It’s foundation for everything that follows.
