// THE POINT THIS WEEK
The request/response cycle. Methods and status codes. Anatomy of a URL. Query parameters.
// TALKING POINTS
The request/response cycle
  • HTTP is the language: client requests, server responds, every time
  • Status codes are the server's mood: 200 fine, 404 lost, 500 broken
  • The Network tab in DevTools shows this whole conversation live
Anatomy of a URL
  • protocol :// domain / path ? query
  • Query parameters are name=value pairs after the ?, separated by &
  • Next week you'll see forms write query strings for you; this week, read them
