Whether you're building APIs, deploying microservices, or just curious about what happens beneath the surface of your applications, understanding networking is essential. This talk explains the core concepts of networking - from the basics of TCP, UDP and the OSI model, to more advanced topics like routing, BGP and anycast.
You'll gain a practical understanding of how data moves across the internet, how routing decisions are made, and why these concepts matter when building scalable, resilient applications. No prior networking experience required20:25– Tidy up and walk to The Brewery Tap for drinks
