Slashdot Mirror
Computer Networking Course Materials Free Online
Shivkumar Kalyanaraman writes "I am an Associate Professor in the Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering (ECSE) department at Rensselaer Polytechic Institute (RPI). This post is to inform you that I have recently collected all the videos and audios of my networking classes and put them online, freely available." Read on below; the course materials are also available on CD.
"For those who might prefer a CD-ROM set of the videos, that can also be ordered from this site. I hope this will be a useful reference for those working in the networking industry or interested to learn about or brush up their knowledge of networking, but do not have time to take formal university courses. It could also help complement your regular studies on this topic.
Comments/Errata welcome! If you find this resource useful, please recommend it to your friends and colleagues.
Thanks!

On the other hand, if there's no slashdot effect, we might infer that the sysadmin is one of Prof. K's students, and that it's a really good class!
Whoa, slashdot effect is in effect :)

If you're hearing rhetoric about Linux, open source, or Mac and everyone's bashing Microsoft, you've found Slashdot.
I am an Associate Professor in the Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering (ECSE) department at Rensselaer Polytechic Institute (RPI). This post is to inform you that I have recently attempted to slashdot our servers by putting up tons of high bandwidth content.
Too bad for those students running kazaa.
Read it more carefully -- Note there is no lecture 6, 11, 19 -- class was cancelled on those days.
I just paid 3k$ to take the broadband networking class this past spring semester. Where can I get my refund?
On a relavent note. Shiv was a very good professor, and I learned an extreme amount of information.
Folks,
:)

Interestingly my research is in the area of "traffic management"
The best solution I have for those being traffic jammed at my site and really care about the content is a CD-ROM set that can be ordered there (sneakernet still beats the internet
As some others observed some lectures are not there -- i will have to remove those links. Those were exam days or class cancellation days. The content should be intact if you skip those days.
BTW, do you guys know other sites with freely available audio/video of courses? I found one on the MIT site on Linear algebra...

I found this one on slashdot. This is the C programming course from the University of Washington in Seattle, if you poke around you'll find the other online available courses.
Dickheads like you make the comments in slashdot not worth reading.
Here is a prof who takes his whole lecture series and hands it to you FOR FREE AS IN BEER and all you can do is whine about the format.
If you really don't want to support M$ in anyway then don't download the files.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth!

You'll have to tweak the options to get desirable results.
Folks,
The web server is on its knees as predicted and the entire department is affected. So, I have had to remove the high bandwidth/quality streams off the web area. But they are available in the the CD-ROM set (name-your-price ordering).
I plan to add a lot more material in diverse areas -- electrical engg, CS, mathematics, physics etc. I need to strike a balance between putting valuable free stuff and being voluntarily compensated (using name-your-price ordering of high-quality versions) so that i will have the incentive to put more free stuff.
this is indeed a pilot in open distance education -- i would invite views/comments on how best to balance all these considerations..
