So I confess- I learned just enough Computer Engineering in college to be dangerous. Count the two years since I was a student and I really am barely even that anymore.
This means my understanding of networking is shameful, at best, and a hindrance to my workplace (theme parks prefer networked timecoded shows). I hear a tremendous number of terms thrown about (network switch, fiber-to-ethernet, data gate, etc) and see a lot of complicated numbers and verbiage that makes me feel a little dumb.
To that extent, does anyone know of some resources to help me...
1) ... Grasp the basics of networking in general, and get up and running with the lingo
2) ... Find out more about how networking applies to lighting, as well as common products/services in that regard
3) ... Learn enough to become more-than-dangerous (a.k.a. armchair expert) once the above two tasks are complete
I greatly appreciate all the advice and help!
