Every developer will come across a variety of protocols over their career. Certain applications will be domain-specific, while others will apply to all situations. I've included a list of some protocols below that every developer should at least be familiar with.
- HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol)- This protocol is a standard used in the transmission of web content over the Internet.
- HTTPS(Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)- This is a secure version of the HTTP. It encrypts data for safe web communication.
- TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)- is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol for transmitting data over networks, ensuring data delivery.
- IP(Internet Protocol)- This is a set of rules governing the routing and addressing of data packets across the Internet.
- FTP(File Transfer Protocol)- This is used to transfer files between computers on a network or over the internet.
- SSH(Secure Shell Script)- This is a secure protocol for remote access to network devices and servers.
- SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)- This is used for sending email messages between email servers.
- UDP(User Datagram Protocol)- This is a connectionless and faster protocol for transmitting data over networks. It, however, doesn’t guarantee delivery.
Thank you for stopping by and see you in the next one.
