About this Course

During this course, we'll take a look at the underlying method that devices use to communicate with each other: HTTP, or the HyperText Transfer Protocol. In particular, we'll focus on how a modern web browser automates the sending of HTTP requests and the receiving of HTTP responses.

What you'll learn

• HTTP
• Uniform Resource Identifier
• GET

Teacher

• Chris Ramacciotti

  I spent six years teaching introductory and advanced computer science to high school students in Omaha and Chicago, and have also worked as a full-time Java developer. As a teacher, I continually strive to support students in removing all perceived and actual barriers to learning highly sophisticated material.

  On the side I run a nonprofit organization that takes teenagers to developing countries to volunteer during the summer. I enjoy running and yoga, especially outdoors in the beautiful Chicago summer weather.
