The C# Yellow Book is used by the Department of Computer Science in the University of Hull as the basis of the First Year programming course. You can download your own copy from here 
We give away a free printed copy to students when they arrive in the department, and we also give a copy away to anyone who comes to see us on an Open Day. This is the 2014 version of the book, the Rubber Duck edition.

10 Core Concepts for network administration

The 10 core concepts that every Windows network admin must know. These are the things that you not only need to know in your day to day job as a Windows Network Admin but for anyone who is interviewing as a network admin. Introduction Recently a relative of mine went for a job interview as a security analyst. She was asked a number of technical questions in the interview but the ones that she struggles with the most were the networking questions (as she had not used or studies networking in some time). I thought that this article might be helpful for Windows Network Admins out there who need some "brush-up tips" as well as those who are interviewing for network admins jobs to come up with a list of 10 networking concepts that every network admin should know. So, here is my list of 10 core networking concepts that every Windows Network Admin (or those interviewing for a job as one) must know: 1.     DNS Lookup The domain naming system (DNS) is a cornersto...

UNICAST, MULTICAST, BROADCAST

When traffic is passed between hosts on a network, three different transmission mechanisms are possible. These include unicasts, multicasts, and broadcasts. Unicasts A unicast is the most simple network transmission. As the name suggests, it is a direct transmission from one system to one other system only. As such, the destination address will always uniquely identify a single host for whom the data is meant. In a shared  Ethernet  environment (where a system might be exposed to all frames), systems would check to see whether the destination MAC address matched their own. If it did, it would process the frame. If not, it would discard the frame. On an IP-based network, the address 192.168.1.24 represents a unicast address. Multicasts Unlike unicasts, which are meant for a single host, a multicast is meant for a group of systems. Think of multicasts as a one-to-many transmission method. Multicasts are generally used when traffic such as video needs to be passed to ma...
