BASIC CYBER PROGRAMMING AND NETWORKING
This course was my first real dive into understanding the programming and networking concepts that are crucial in the cybersecurity field. Starting with no prior knowledge, I found myself navigating through the complexities of low-level programming languages, including C and assembly, which was both challenging and exhilarating. The course didn’t just teach me the syntax of these languages but pushed me to develop problem-solving skills that are essential for anyone in the cybersecurity domain. Learning the fundamentals of network protocols opened my eyes to how digital systems communicate and the importance of securing these interactions. This course laid the technical foundation I needed, setting me up for success in more advanced cybersecurity courses. It was the perfect starting point for my major, transforming my curiosity into a solid skill set and a clear vision for my future in cybersecurity.
