Course description
  • HTTP & Web Servers
  • 1 weeks
  • How does HTTP work?
  • In this course, you’ll explore HTTP directly, talking with web servers and browsers by hand. You’ll write and deploy low-level web applications in Python. And you’ll learn more about how HTTP connects with other web technologies.
  • Requests & Responses
  • The Web from Python
  • HTTP in the Real World
  • Explore HTTP by running a web server on your own computer
  • Interact with servers and browsers from the command line
  • Discover HTTP requests and responses, headers, status codes, and other features of the protocol
  • Write code that speaks HTTP both as a server and a client
  • Build Python code that accepts HTML form submissions, accesses web services, and constructs formatted responses
  • Connect your knowledge of HTTP basics with the rest of the world
  • Deploy services you’ve written so that other people can see them
  • Investigate web server capacity, cookies, security, and new developments in the protocol
  • This course is intended for students with a working knowledge of Python, HTML, and the Unix shell. A Mac, Windows, or Linux computer is required.
  • In this course, you will run commands on your computer using a Unix-like shell environment (command line). A basic familiarity with the terminal, working with files and command-line programs, and the git version control software will be very useful.
  • You will read and write object-oriented Python code using a text editor, and will read Python module documentation to learn about new modules. You will also write code that sends HTML to browsers, so a basic knowledge of HTML markup will come in handy. CSS and JavaScript are not required.
  • This course does not use a virtual machine (VM). You will be installing and writing software on your own computer. You will need a text editor and the ability to install software.
  • Elements of this course require communicating with web services including Github and Heroku.
  • See the Technology Requirements for using Udacity.
  • HTTP is the language of the web. Learning how it works is an essential step to becoming a web developer. It’s also incredibly handy for any developer, given the omnipresence of HTTP today.
  • This course focuses on the backend side of web technology, and at a relatively low level. By writing code that speaks HTTP directly, you will gain a greater understanding of how each piece of the web puzzle fits together.
