PRO LEVEL
Month 1: Advanced Networking & Systems Administration
Module 1: Advanced Networking Concepts
Networking Protocols:
TCP/IP: The core protocol of the internet, responsible for routing and error checking.
UDP: Used in applications that need faster transmission (e.g., streaming, gaming).
HTTP/S: Protocols for web communication. HTTPS includes encryption for secure communication.
Example:
A packet sent over TCP/IP will have source and destination IP addresses, plus routing information for intermediate devices.
Subnetting:
Breaking a large network into smaller sub-networks for improved performance and security.
Example:
IP Address: 192.168.1.0/24 (Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0). This means the first 24 bits are used for the network portion, leaving 8 bits for the host portion.
Routing & Switching:
Router: Routes traffic between different networks (e.g., between your local network and the internet).
Switch: Directs traffic within the same network by MAC address.
Example:
Configuring a router with static IP routes to connect different subnets.
Advanced Network Security:
Firewalls: Protects the network by filtering inbound and outbound traffic.
IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems): Monitors traffic for signs of malicious activity.
Module 2: Systems Administration (Linux & Windows Server)
Linux Administration:
Basic commands (e.g., ls, cd, chmod, grep).
File system management: Creating, deleting, and editing files.
Package Management: Using apt, yum, or zypper to install software.
Example:
bash
CopyEdit
sudo apt-get update # Update the package list
sudo apt-get install nginx # Install Nginx web server
Windows Server Administration:
Active Directory: Managing users, groups, and policies.
Group Policy: Automating administrative tasks across multiple machines.
PowerShell: Scripting and automation in Windows environments.
Example:
powershell
CopyEdit
# Create a new user in Active Directory

Example:
sql
CopyEdit
-- Joining two tables: employees and departments
SELECT employees.name, departments.department_name
FROM employees
INNER JOIN departments ON employees.department_id = departments.id;
Database Indexing:
Indexes speed up data retrieval. However, they can slow down insert and update operations.
Types of indexes: Single-column indexes, Composite indexes.
Example:
sql
CopyEdit
CREATE INDEX idx_employee_name ON employees(name);
Database Normalization:
The process of organizing data in a way that reduces redundancy and dependency.

Module 5: NoSQL Databases & Big Data
NoSQL Databases:
Types: Document-based (MongoDB), Key-value (Redis), Column-family (Cassandra), and Graph databases (Neo4j).
Benefits: Flexible schema, better for handling large volumes of unstructured data.
Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
// MongoDB: Inserting a document
db.users.insert({ "name": "John", "age": 30, "email": "john@example.com" });
Big Data:
Hadoop: Framework for processing large datasets.
Spark: Fast, in-memory computing for real-time data processing.
