Week 1: Setting Up and Planning

I created html page for my projects and decided what I want to do as my final project.
My goal during these 10 weeks is to learn more about networking, IP adressing, data encryption, troubleshooting and protection techniques.
I plan to use the Cisco Networking Basics Course to study cybersecurity and their Packet Tracer to practice, by creating mini-projects, and for my final project.
My final project will be a network, which i will improve as I learn new things about cybersecurity to make it fast, efficient and secure.
Another tools I plan to utilize are ChatGPT to help me design and simulate network configurations, as well as security measures, YouTube, w3school website and any other free online resources.
During this week I created this html page dedicated for this project, which will track and showcase my progress.
