The connections subject spanned at least 8 percent of the entire material covered. Most of it pertained to wired connections and physical connector types. There was little mention of wireless options. Those that were included RF, Sound, and Light. None of these were demonstrated with code or some working example.

Unlike the term papers, the blog still has…
