Introduction to Show Networking Workshop

The workshop I’ve taught the most in recent years is Introduction to Show Networking, based on my book of the same name.

Course Description

This introductory hands-on workshop, based on John Huntington’s book Introduction to Show Networking, explores the basics of networks and how they work in show systems such as lighting, sound, video, and even stage machinery. Basic networking concepts, IP addresses and assignment methods, subnet masks, general network operations and physical topologies will be introduced through readings and lecture videos, and then explored through a day of hands-on labs done on participants’ PC or macOS laptops. Network device control will be explored, and other topics like VLANs, simple routing and broadcast storms will be demonstrated in group exercises. This class counts for ETCP-recognized training.
