    Maybe you’ve heard of ARP, netmasks or routing tables but aren’t quite sure what they are. Perhaps you know what a firewall does but aren’t sure how to set one up in Linux. Those and many more questions are answered in this entry-level course on networking. When you’re done you’ll be ready to go forth and network the world. Or your apartment, at least.

    Topics we cover:

    * Protocols: IP, ARP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, DNS
    * OSI 7 layer model, IETF we-don’t-need-no-stinkin’-models model
    * IP addresses (IPv4, touching on IPv6)
    * Networking commands in Linux
    * Firewall principles, with examples for Linux
    * Routing. What makes a router a router anyway?

    Corey has been a Network and Systems Engineer at a Wyoming ISP for the last 5 years, and as such gets to use all sorts of fun network and server tools. Outside of the lab he’s interested in hiking, cooking, gardening and photography.

  • Video: Josh Tolley at UTOSC 2009 – Fun With SQL

    By fozzmoo

    Most developers find database interaction painful at some level; many dread it outright. What developer hasn’t spent hours digging through documentation, Google, or the nearest colleague, trying to work out how to write a particular query, only to find out two days too late that some obscure syntax would have made it easy? This talk aims to introduce the attendee to SQL idioms and constructs that can save weeks of debugging, free up hours of coding, and shave precious minutes and seconds from application runtimes.

    Josh Tolley participates actively in the PostgreSQL project and works as a PostgreSQL administrator for hire with End Point Corporation. On the rare occasions that the Utah Database Users Group, or UDBUG, happens to do anything, he’s likely somewhat responsible for it. He also enjoys gardening, cooking, and trying to learn electronics without hurting himself.
