Essential Concepts in Network Topologies, Protocols, and Data Transmission
Primary Network Topologies
Network Topologies describe the physical or logical arrangement of nodes (devices) and their connections within a network. They define how devices are interconnected and communicate with each other.
Factors Affecting Network Topology Selection
Scalability: The ability to expand the network easily influences the choice of topology. For example, star and tree topologies are more scalable because additional devices can be added without disrupting the existing network. In contrast,

Singly Linked List (SLL) Implementation for Student Data
This C program demonstrates the implementation of a Singly Linked List (SLL) to manage student records. It includes standard list operations (insertion, deletion) and utilizes insert_front and delete_front to simulate basic stack operations (Push/Pop).
SLL Structure and Global Variables

ER Diagram Notations: Chen’s vs. Crow’s Foot
When designing an ER (Entity-Relationship) Diagram, there are two primary sets of symbolic notations: Chen’s Notation (traditional/academic) and Crow’s Foot Notation (modern/industry standard).
1. Chen’s Notation (Conceptual Focus)
Peter Chen’s original 1976 notation is highly detailed and uses distinct geometric shapes for every component. It is the gold standard for learning the theoretical foundations of databases.

Bash Job Control, Utilities and Example Scripts
The commands you listed are a mix of job-control utilities (fg, jobs, suspend) and standard Linux utilities (df, more).
Here is an explanation of the syntax and purpose for each:
1. Job Control Commands 🛠️
Job control commands are shell built-ins (mostly in Bash, KornShell, etc.) used to manage processes that are currently running in the background or suspended in the current terminal session.

Operating System Concepts: Part 1
1. FCFS (First Come First Serve) Scheduling
FCFS is a non-preemptive CPU scheduling algorithm where processes are executed in the order of their arrival. The process that arrives first gets the CPU first. It is simple to implement using a queue. However, it can cause long waiting times and the convoy effect.
2. SJF (Shortest Job First) Scheduling
SJF selects the process with the shortest
