Mini course

HTTP

The application protocol that powers the World Wide Web

Quick overview

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and officially represents the application protocol for the World Wide Web. Many courses on web development skip even a quick discussion on HTTP and that's far from ideal.

This mini course aims at making you aware of how HTTP works and what are some of its fundamental ideas. This knowledge would go a long way in your web development career because many things relate back to ideas in HTTP.
