Hey everyone! I’m a front-end engineer working mainly with JavaScript, React and React Native. I’m not from a core IT/networking background, and I recently realized that my knowledge of computer networking is pretty weak. ZEEO!!!
I want to learn networking properly from scratch, not necessarily for CCNA certification, but to build a strong foundation and eventually understand cloud/DevOps better.
I’ve found these resources:
NetworkChuck: CCNA Complete Course (~6 hrs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQR5rTSshw
Jeremy’s IT Lab: Free CCNA Course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8W9oMNSuwo
Practical Networking: https://www.youtube.com/@PracticalNetworking
David Bombal: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal
Gate Smashers: Computer Networks: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxCzCOWd7aiGFBD2-2joCpWOLUrDLvVV_
I’d prefer something visual and practical, with good diagrams/animations and labs if possible.
For people who have actually learned networking, which of these would you recommend for a complete beginner? Would you start with NetworkChuck and then move to Jeremy’s IT Lab, or go directly with Jeremy?
Would love to hear your personal experiences and recommendations!

I’m taking computer technology classes and would like to be an engineer. When I go look for a career. How can I get started?

Considering the technical advancements and future job market, what do you suggest for someone who wants to do undergrad next year in US?

Is it better for me to choose CS or CE?

I am interested in both of them, however getting into a decent paying job is my top priority.

Hi, I am a 4th-year undergraduate computer engineering student at Bacolod City, Philippines.

Let me tell you about myself, It is always been my dream to someday teach computer engineering. However, I have double thoughts about starting MS CpE right away. I have to consider budget, universities, and of course career progressions/industry experience first. I had 3 internships all are not related to computer engineering (two being multimedia stuffs). If you were in my shoes, how would you go through this stage?

Here are my current options in mind,
OPTION A: FIND A JOB, STAY 2-4 YEARS FOR SAVINGS, START MS CPE WHEN I SECURE AN INSTRUCTOR POSITION (PART TIME)

OPTION B: START MS CPE NEXT YEAR WITH NO REAL-INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE WHILE LOOKING FOR A JOB

Please, I am open to any discussions.

I am COMPUTER ENGINEERING graduate - fresh graduate looking for any job related to my course

Hello Everyone! I just completed my high school and want to go into Computer Engineering, but Reddit doesn't make me that much confident about the job market. So I just want to ask, how will the job market for new grads be in the next 5 to 10 years for new grads in British Columbia, Canada. I plan to attend UBCO. (Don't know if adding that was necessary or not, thought I would add it.)

I am asking this question since I don't want to end up jobless while pursuing my interests.

Some context, I work in Automotive (American) doing Cloud Infra security testing. Some would call it pen testing, i usually just use the term White Box Security Test. B.S. in CS.

Anyway, I love my job, and I don't believe AI will replace it.

That being said, it doesn't matter what I think, it matters what mgmt thinks. In addition, I've been messing with MCUs and I really have enjoyed that lower level programming, as well as being able to see the physical manifestation of the code I write.

So, I've been trying to formulate a cost effective plan to start learning and doing some projects to gain experience and familiarity with hardware, as well as bring my Cybersecurity background with me and understand not just the wireless security but also the hardware security.

At the moment, I have a couple Boards:

ESP32 C6 DevKit

Nrf52840 DK

RPI Pico 2 W

PocketBeagle 2 (currently being shipped)

I also have an electronics set with BreadBoard, resistors, peripherals, sensors, diodes, etc., with a multimeter and logic analyzer. I belive this should be enough to get me started. If I'm mistaken please let me know.

My goals is to learn as much as I can with these tools about circuits, firmware development, debugging, RTOS, reverse engineering, etc. I'm hoping that documenting these projects well will help me pivot later should I do so.

Also thought about learning about and doing robotics as well, but i figure i should get a good handle on Embedded fundamentals first.

I know getting an M.S. would be more convincing to HR, but I'm trying to save some money, and get comfortable and some good projects in sooner than it would take for me to finish an M.S.

Is this a good path forward to get started? Am I missing something important? Am I way in over my head? Any estimates on how long this could/should take me? Be as honest as possible

sorry, this is a copy and paste from the electrical engineering subreddit as I couldn't promote it while moderators were waiting approval. I have budgeted a few grand for this project and I'm genuinely looking for eval hardware.

I have written and simulated verilog code a universal lvds driver for an LCD panels t-con board.

. I'm doing this because I want to rip the guts out of my television. and then mail the guts of those television along with a horse head back to the engineer who decided to choose his job over his integrity and put all that spying crap in it.

the features I have implemented and would like to test outside of a simulator are:

- 16 channel multiplexing input

- customizeable OSD (OSD frame buffer is delayed by a frame but video is passed through)

- soft risc-v core for IRDA learning and just enough brains to do TV control things.

- a serial Port so if somebody did want to control the thing with a raspberry pi

I am looking for off-the-shelf eval kits that can handle fast signaling through a proper mezzanine connector, and I'm looking for some sort of a DisplayPort or DVI deserializer to 24-bit rgb.

I am also looking for and evaluation board with an fpga that has a lot of onboard Bram for the osd framebuffer (640x360 16 color ~60k) that can handle high-speed signaling.

if there was also some sort of mezzanine board with a breakout for lvds t-con boards (I have a few signaling standards working, and yes you do have to re-pin per device you're driving) that would really help.

for some reference I'm working with older 1080p TV panels right now since it would cost me a lot of money to get access to 4K specs for the deserializers.

I'm guessing total signal speed I would need is somewhere around 3.6 gb/s
