Welcome to the Networking Gala!

21.05.202027.05.2025 IMD2020

Imagine the world of networking as a massive high-society gala where devices (computers, routers, switches) are all attending. But just like any grand event, attendees need proper invitations, seating arrangements, and a way to find the right tables. That’s where Class A, B, and C networks, ARP, and binary addressing come into play.

PowerShell

PowerShell is Microsoft’s powerful command-line shell and scripting language that makes your computer do your bidding without the need to click through endless menus.

Binary

Binary is a number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1, kind of like a strict “yes” or “no” party where not even a maybe is allowed.

Infrastructure.

Imagine IT infrastructure as the highway system for your digital world. It’s the backbone that keeps everything moving smoothly, ensuring that data, applications, and users reach their destinations without crashing into each other. Without it, your organisation’s tech setup would be like rush-hour traffic without roads – just a bunch of confused machines honking at each other with no idea where to go.

WinGet

WinGet, short for the Windows Package Manager, is essentially your digital shopping assistant for software on Windows. Think of it as the “app store” for command-line enthusiasts, an incredibly efficient tool that lets you discover, install, update, and remove software without having to click through multiple installers.
