Course description

Encoding is the process of converting data from one form to another. While "encoding" can be used as a verb, it is often used as a noun and refers to a specific type of encoded data. Encoding should not be confused with encryption, which hides content. Both techniques are used extensively in the networking, software programming, wireless communication and storage fields. In this course, we will learn how to identify different encoding algorithms and decode them.
