It is going good so far (about half way). Would be better though if the next video to see, automatically appears with a countdown to start.

Great intro videos! Some vocabulary might need to be explained to non-technical learners. I can infer what Payload means or what Client means, but these are terms that are being used without definition or context first. Overall - still very easy to keep up with!

Through this course I have learnt a lot about how the internet works and I now know what errors codes displayed in my browser during search mean. Thank you very much for your ability to explain things in clear and simple terms. I am overjoyed.
