HTTP for Noobs
Elijah Lynn
HTTP powers the web as we know it. Let's take a moment and explore the more common parts of HTTP. 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 of HTTP
- Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs = URLs and URNs)
- HTTP Headers
- HTTP Messages
- HTTP Connections
- HTTP Methods
- HTTP Requests
- HTTP Responses
- HTTP Response Codes
I hope you come to this session, see you there!
