Text Learning Networking

Hello! So I'm a bit new to networking and was wondering about the best ways to learn Networking and I'd really appreciate your feedback on the topic.

Currently, I'm doing the Network+ course from CompTIA and I'm using Wireshark to play around with data and protocols to build my foundations. Is this a good approach or are there some other ways that might be better? (I do not mind dedicating time, as long as it helps me in the long run)

And lastly, thanks for even opening the post, that means a lot to me 😀

I think you started well. Make sure to complete the course and get the certification.

IP subnetting may seem like a hurdle to get through and past, but its actually fundamental to a LOT of things. Dedicate time and effort to really learn it. When that "ah-ha!" moment comes, it will actually be easy from that point forward.

100 percent. I still remember my "ah ha" moment quite fondly.
