Some recent workshops were all about networking:

Here are some links to the workshop material:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network  for networking development from the beginning.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite for Internet Protocol development.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark is software that enables you to capture network traffic as it flashes past so you can examine it at your leisure.  Mostly we don't need to do that. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_Manager  For Windows 8 users, you can see that the system goes back to OS2 days which is almost the beginning of Windows 25 years ago.  Still in use.  Looks a bit different.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable  all about the cables.

Tech Interest Group Members are encouraged to lead discussion on any problem they have encountered, so that jointly we can find a solution.
