Protocols Revisited
One of the most valuable skills you can develop is the ability to create
graceful transitions between seemingly incompatible systems. An
understanding of different protocols is central to that skill. You've used
a number of communications protocols in this topic, but by the time
you read this, the protocols you learned may have changed or become
obsolete. However, if you understand how to learn new ones, you'll do
fine. This final chapter is a view from the high ground, looking over the
landscape of protocols you've seen in this topic to consider their simi-
larities and differences, how they all fit together, and how to go about
learning new ones in the future.
