On Saturday, December 14, 2019, Skillsoft will be conducting maintenance activities. As a result, all Skillsoft hosted services will be inaccessible during this maintenance event. Every effort is being made to minimize the duration of those activities, and our expectation is that the impact will not exceed 12 hours commencing at 7:00 AM Eastern. It is our hope that the impact will be less in duration, however, in the interest of setting conservative expectations, up to 12 hours should be anticipated.

Explore foundational network concepts, such as packet switching, the OSI and TCP/IP models, network topologies, network infrastructure devices, and wireless router configuration. After completion of this course, participants will be able to explain how packet switching networks transmit data, compare ring, star and bus topologies in server and peer-to-peer networks, configure a cloud-based load balancing solution, and more!

In this learning path, your host, Thomas Nield, guides you through SQL fundamentals and database design. You’ll explore the role of relational databases such as Oracle and MySQL, and you’ll examine the overall data technology environment. You’ll also see how to perform specific tasks like aggregating and joining tables to reveal insights buried deep within data. And, using the simplicity and power of SQLite, you can practice designing and working with databases at home without a database server environment.

Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.

The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
