HTTP powers the web as we know it. Let's take a moment and explore the more common parts of HTTP at a high level. I believe that once you start to grasp HTTP you will feel more confident in your ability to debug your applications in the many years to come.
This is a hands on talk. We will learn. Then practice. Then repeat. Questions will be allowed throughout. This talk is suitable for any skill level, I will do my best to break everything down so most everyone will be able to grasp the infamous Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Please bring a computer with Chrome on it, you will absorb much more if you do.
Topics we will cover:
- History
- URIs
- HTTP Messages
- Connections
- Requests & Responses
- Response Codes
- Headers
I hope you come to this session, see you there!
