About This Course

In this course, we'll begin by exploring the core concept of the web and understanding its functionality in a way that's significant to you, the future backend developer. To keep it simple and directly beneficial to you, we dive right into the indispensable aspects of the web rather than jumping into a pool of hardware components or OSI specifics.

Moving forward in our journey, you'll naturally appreciate the thrills of discovering the foundational building blocks of the technology you'll be working with for a long time to come. From understanding the operations of domains to the role of DNS, the entire course is designed to shape a clear picture in your mind about the underlying principles that keep the world of the web spinning.

Port numbers and HTTP aspects, which might seem complex topics at first glance, are decoded and presented in the most learner-friendly manner possible. We'll make them engaging by writing raw socket requests, ensuring that you grasp everything that's being taught. Elevating the learning process, we will go the extra mile to instill a deep-rooted understanding of HTTP in you.

Importantly, every concept and practice in this course is weaved towards making you a proficient backend developer who doesn't just know how to code, but also appreciates why each component works the way it does. This course equips you with the skills and understanding needed, making learning not just an educational experience but also a fascinating journey into the heart of technology's finest aspects, gearing you up for your bright future ahead.
