The Networking technologies section has just been updated so that the top three categories across the page represent the content of the Webmaster Foundations class: E- Commerce, Networking Fundamentals, OSI Model.

Webmaster Foundations (30 hours)

Teaches the fundamental knowledge and skills required to work in an Internet technology enabled environment. These foundational skills include basic knowledge of the goals and roles of a webmaster, Internet technologies such as Web browsers, FTP and e-mail, an introduction to using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Common Network Terms, Network Operating Systems and Web server administrator Responsibilities.

(Formerly individual classes: Internet and Browser Basics, Networking Basics, Server Side Issues and Security, E-Commerce and Business Issues)

The foundations class is more concept driven. While your understanding of concepts may seem to be more abstract, throughout this class your comprehension of the topics covered in class is continuously assessed by class participation exercises.

Internet foundation skills are not product or system specific. They are a combination of minimal technical and non-technical skills and knowledge required for those interested in developing specific Internet skills as a designer, developer or administrator. The key focus is the understanding of concepts and issues are stressed rather than any particular software.

They include understanding issues such as:

* Features in Web browsers, including preferences, caching, and cookies.
* How to use different types of Web search engines effectively.

* Infrastructure required to support an Internet connection, including hardware and software components.
* Describe networking and its role in the Internet, including protocols, packets, and the OSI reference model.
* Internet communications protocols and their roles in delivering basic Internet services.
* Security issues related to Web browsing and e-mail, including certificates and viruses.
* Internet security issues, including user-level and enterprise-level
concerns.
* Common performance issues affecting Internet servers and resources, including analysis and diagnosis.

* How to use the Web to obtain legal and international business information.
* Issues in developing a corporate Web site such as project management, testing, and legal issues.
* Compare in-house Web site hosting to hosting with an Internet Service Provider.
* Identify the Internet governing organizations.
* Understand how to research Internet standards and register a domain name.

While certifications like CIW or I-net+ are nice to have, and add validation to your skills, my primary focus is on your attaining the skills, and understanding the concepts.
