Internetworking Edition 2023 (openHPI)

Die Zahl der Internetnutzer:innen weltweit ist kontinuierlich gestiegen und lag 2021 bei rund 4,9 Milliarden Menschen. In Deutschland sind ca. 94% der Bevölkerung online unterwegs. Das Netz der Netze hat unser Leben und Arbeiten radikal verändert. In diesem Kurs erfahren Sie, welche technischen Prinzipien dem Internet zugrunde liegen. Darüber hinaus wollen wir den Fokus auf relevante Aspekte wie Sicherheit im Internet und seine Rolle für Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik lenken.

Mehr als die Hälfte der Erdbevölkerung ist durch das Internet vernetzt. Der Einzug des Internets kann von seiner gewaltigen Auswirkung auf die Gesellschaft verglichen werden mit der industriellen Revolution. Die große anfängliche Hoffnung auf eine Demokratisierung der Gesellschaft ist inzwischen verpufft. Im Gegenteil: mit Sorge beobachten wir, wie autoritäre Staaten Webseiten blocken und Online-Inhalte zensieren.
In diesem Kurs wollen wir Ihnen die technischen Grundlagen des Internets vermitteln. Sie erfahren

  • wie das technische Konstruktionsprinzip des Internets in seinen Grundzügen aussieht
  • wie Daten mit Signalen von einem Computer zum anderen übertragen werden
  • wie Datenpakete ihren Weg durch die miteinander verknüpften Einzelnetze des Internets finden
  • wie auch mobile Geräte, Sensoren und Maschinen miteinander über das Internet kommunizieren
  • welche Anwendungen dafür sorgen, dass Sie im World Wide Web surfen und E-Mails oder Filme versenden bzw. empfangen können
  • dass die Sicherheit im Internet – da sie kein von Anfang an mit bedachtes Konstruktionsmerkmal ist – gegen mögliche Angriffe geschützt werden muss.

Sie werden aber auch bewerten können,
-was die entscheidenden Meilensteine in der bisherigen Entwicklung des Internets waren

  • welche Entwicklungen geschichtlich betrachtet zum Erfolg oder Misserfolg wurden
  • welche wichtige Rolle das Internet in Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik eingenommen hat
  • wie das Internet für kriminelle Zwecke missbraucht wird und wie man sich davor schützen kann
  • welche Entwicklung das Internet in Zukunft nehmen dürfte.

Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit Ihnen! Melden Sie sich jetzt an!

TCP/IP and Advanced Topics (Coursera)

In this course, we give an in-depth study of the TCP/IP protocols. We examine the details of how IP enables communications across a collection of networks. We pay particular attention to the hierarchical structure of IP addresses and explain their role in ensuring scalability of the Internet. The role of address prefixes and the uses of masks are explained in details. We review in details about TCP three-way handshake, flow control, and congestion control. Furthermore, we provide an introduction to some advanced topics, including Multicast, SDN and security

Internet History, Technology, and Security (Coursera)

The impact of technology and networks on our lives, culture, and society continues to increase. The very fact that you can take this course from anywhere in the world requires a technological infrastructure that was designed, engineered, and built over the past sixty years. To function in an information-centric world, we need to understand the workings of network technology. This course will open up the Internet and show you how it was created, who created it and how it works. Along the way we will meet many of the innovators who developed the Internet and Web technologies that we use today.

Programmieren fürs Web (openHPI)

Das World Wide Web (kurz WWW) hat unser Zusammenleben revolutioniert. Viele Menschen nutzen den Begriff, der die wohl wichtigste Anwendung im Internet beschreibt, sogar synonym für Internet – so fest ist es in unserem Sprachgebrauch inzwischen verankert. Im zweiten Teil unserer Kursreihe zum Thema Web-Technologien beschäftigen wir uns näher mit der Web-Programmierung. Dabei schauen wir uns zunächst die Clientseitige Web-Programmierung an. In der zweiten Kurswoche steht die Serverseitige Web-Programmierung auf dem Programm.

Social Network Analysis (Coursera)

This course is designed to quite literally ‘make a science’ out of something at the heart of society: social networks. Humans are natural network scientists, as we compute new network configurations all the time, almost unaware, when thinking about friends and family (which are particular forms of social networks), about colleagues and organizational relations (other, overlapping network structures), and about how to navigate delicate or opportunistic network configurations to save guard or advance in our social standing (with society being one big social network itself).

Networking and Security in iOS Applications (Coursera)

You will learn to extend your knowledge of making iOS apps so that they can securely interact with web services and receive push notifications. You'll learn how to store data securely on a device using Core Data. You’ll also learn to securely deploy apps to the App Store and beta users over-the-air. The format of the course is through a series of code tutorials. We will walk you through the creation of several apps that you can keep as a personal app toolbox. When you make your own apps after this course, you can bring in these capabilities as needed. When necessary we pop out of the code tutorials to talk about concepts at a higher level so that what you are programming makes sense.

Internet Giants: The Law and Economics of Media Platforms (Coursera)

Law

This seven-week course will explore the relationship between law and technology with a strong focus on the law of the United States with some comparisons to laws around the world, especially in Europe. Tech progress is an important source of economic growth and raises broader questions about the human condition, including how culture evolves and who controls that evolution. Technology also matters in countless other ways as it often establishes the framework in which governments interact with their citizens, both in allowing speech and blocking it and in establishing exactly what the boundaries are between private life and the government. And technology itself is powerfully shaped by the laws that apply in areas as diverse as copyright, antitrust, patents, privacy, speech law and the regulation of networks.

Peer-to-Peer Protocols and Local Area Networks (Coursera)

In this course, we discuss peer-to-peer protocols and local area networks. Part one in this course is to answer the question of how does a peer-to-peer protocol deliver reliable data transfer service across unreliable transmission lines or networks. We focus on several medium access control protocols and their performance analysis. In the second part, we discuss how medium access control protocols coordinate the access to the communication channel so that information gets through from a source to a destination in the same broadcast local area network. We further discuss local area network and wireless LAN.
