Take your networking skills to the next level by learning how high-performance network services are designed, built, and scaled. This advanced module focuses on application-layer protocols, concurrent server architectures, scalable APIs, real-time communication, and production-ready networking practices used in modern cloud and distributed systems.

Using C/C++, Rust, and Python, you'll develop robust networking applications while exploring performance optimisation, observability, security, and scalability.
