  HI guys. I will be posting this same question a few times. I'm someone with a history in agriculture looking to up/reskill myself as part of my own recovery from job loss and huge change of circ*mstance as a result of the pandemic. I'm self studying AP comuter science as I feel I'm out of touch with the rapid advance of technology and its role in everything we do. I won't necessarily take any exams pursue a direct career in the field. I'm just broadening my knowledge (also relearning algebra from the beginning and probably some other fields that khan academy offers). My question is: how are you guys looking to make the most out of khan academy? What online resources or books that expand on khan academy lessons do you find most useful. Are there sources for tests and exercises that help you reinforce what you learn. I'm computer literate at a very basic level so I feel I probably need all the additional help I can get. There's no bad suggestions!any help will be great. Thanks guys! happy studies.

    It is awesome to hear that you are pursuing continual learning Gerard, keep it up! When it comes to improving your technical skills, Khan Academy is a great place to start. Additional resources that I would recommend to supplement your learning are:

    1. YouTube
    2. MIT OpenCourseWare
    3. Publicly accessible university resources*
    4. Textbooks (more useful than you might imagine!)
    5. https://schoolhouse.world
    6. Desmos (for mathematics)

    * search a topic of interest and look for .edu sites from reputable universities.

    These are great resources to start with. The advent of the Internet has brought with it a myriad of new resources for education, which is fantastic for new learners and for those who want to return to learning.

    You had mentioned wanting exercises and practice questions to reinforce your learning; generally, textbooks will cover topics in digestible parts, followed by numerous end-of-chapter questions. Don't let those questions go unused! They are there for a reason, and can be a great way to reinforce your knowledge.

  What's the difference between different programming languages? Do they all do the same thing, just in different ways, or do they all have different purposes?

    Many programming languages excel at certain tasks. For example, C is good for low-level programming, Matlab is great for data manipulation and calculations, and Javascript is often used for website development. Certain programming languages are designed to be more powerful, (they can do a wider variety of things), whereas other languages are made to be more user-friendly.

  How do new laptops, tablets, phones, etc., automatically know these protocols when we buy them? Do the manufacturers (Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, etc.) somehow preload them onto the devices? Also, if a protocol is updated/changed, how do all of the devices that use the protocol become aware of the change and behave accordingly?

    Protocol software commonly comes bundled with the Operating System when new devices are produced and distributed, as such software is considered essential to modern-day computing devices.

    If there is a change to the protocol (and thus the protocol software), then the protocol software will need to be updated - in a similar fashion to updating any other software when it sees changes, whether that be operating systems, games, or other application programs.

  i think there is disadvantage with using open protocol since it is open, sending a personal data can stolen by someone else

    the protocol is open, but that doesnt mean the data being sent is open. it only means anyone can access and can use the protocol instead of having to pay a company to use it. personal data sent over the internet can be encrypted using the HTTP/TLS protocols in the upper layers

    Other computers and servers will have a hard time communicating with your device. Internet protocol is how to specify binary numbers. Take a look at the example in the text. 01001000 01101001is the decimal number 18537, but the computer which is sending the message is trying to write the message 'hi'
    hope this helps

    Indeed, the HTML protocol specifications website provides a comprehensive and detailed resource for understanding the intricacies of the HTML protocol. With 88 pages of valuable information, this website is a testament to the complexity and sophistication of the technology that powers the web. Kudos to the developers and contributors for creating such a comprehensive and useful resource for web developers and enthusiasts alike. :)

  For lack of better words, how can a person "use" or "join" a network protocol? Are all network protocols set by ISPs? Or are some just defaults set by ISPs? Can an individual change which network protocol their router uses?

    Yes, open protocol development can certainly be used to help with sending text messages. In fact, there are already several open protocols that have been developed specifically for this purpose. One such protocol is the Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) protocol, which is widely used in the telecommunications industry for sending and receiving SMS messages.

    Open protocols like SMPP allow for interoperability between different systems and networks, making it easier for users to send text messages across different platforms and devices. Additionally, open protocols can provide greater flexibility and customization options, allowing developers to create more sophisticated messaging applications with features like group messaging, multimedia messaging, and message delivery tracking.
