Ask HN: As a software engineer, how do I best learn basic network engineering?
Is there a "System Design Primer" equivalent for network engineering for application developers?
In school I never took networking class and I never had to use any of the networking utilities/commands at job beyond a simple telnet to check of host/port is reachable.
I have looked into youtube videos --- but they are all too abstract and tend to go into enough depth only many videos later.
I have looked into coursera courses --- same deal as youtube videos.
So, to summarize the problem with all these tutorials seems to be too much time commitment -- unfortunately I don't have that much time.
Perhaps a good tutorial would be something that would be a hands-on tutorial based on several scenarios.
Any advice?
Thanks
PS: it's embarrassing to admit I have more than 10 years of experience and I still don't know the basics of network engineering.
