Networking Basics in Python

This resource is designed to help enrich and reinforce GCSE and A-Level students knowledge of networks by creating a simple client-server on an echoing system.

Skills

This resource will help enhance skills with:

• Programming
• Knowledge of sockets
• Understanding of IP addresses, ports, and using the TCP protocol

What is included

Included in this resource is a worksheet that guides students on how to create the server and the client. Full code is included and shown with a thin black border. Code that a student will have already typed witll be shown in grey.

Age Group

This is not recommended as a stand alone resource as it does not walk through every strand of theory. This should be used in conjunction with other network theory lessons. I would recommend for age 14 upwards. This can be modified to your suiting if need be.

Feedback

Please feel free to give me any feedback by leaving comments and I can look at updating the resource if any problems do show up.
