Description

Introduction of gRPC and IP Networking

gRPC is a high-performance, open-source and language-agnostic remote procedure call (RPC) framework that has gained popularity for its efficiency and flexibility in building distributed systems. When combined with IP networking, gRPC allows for seamless, secure, and fast communication between clients and servers over a network. This training covers both gRPC fundamentals and advanced IP networking concepts, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to implement and optimize gRPC in real-world networking environments.

Prerequisites:

1. Basic understanding of computer networking concepts, including IP addressing and protocols.
2. Familiarity with client-server architecture and API development.
3. Experience with at least one programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Java) is beneficial but not mandatory.
4. Knowledge of HTTP/2 and its features would be helpful.
