About the syllabus content
- Concentrating on portable plain text files instead of binary format:
  ude of Editor and mindset "information as text" in computer science.
- The CR LF and ASCII are related to concentrating on interoperability
  and common communicating between different operating systems (team
  work; Git): POSIX and LF conventions, using US-ASCII filename conventions
  etc.
- Git is not included due to time constrains and hours available.
- The IETF, IANA, RFC are only ecxplained as terms "to know", and
  in very high level understanding of the overall Interner Governance
  (like assigned port numbers: IANA).
- Understadning HTTP and URL in general; plus how it relates to Web pages
  that is: they are text too.

- What should be left out
- What should be added
- What information is unnecessary
