1. Your career
One Approach

2. In the past, computer science (and the teaching of computer science) has centered on process
Increasingly, the value of data as raw material and as results is being recognized
In a field where process has been king, data is in the ascendancy
So learn about data and work with data in your career
You’ve taken a great step this term by studying database

3. But also in the ascendancy…

4. The Internet!
If every computer everywhere always has the right data, think of their combined power.
Interesting projects of social, technical, financial significance no longer involve just a single machine
They involve communicating machines, that use Internet protocols
You must know how to build applications that access data on many computers and move data between computers

5. So learn, deeply, about how the Internet works
So learn, deeply, about how the Internet works. Not just how today’s protocols work, but underneath all of that, why the protocols are as they are, so that you can understand the present and future Internet
The Internet is dominating everything in our technology—you must become expert in Internet protocols.

6. You’ve taken the first step—
Advanced database
Next, take the second step—
A course in internet
protocols
