Full HTTP Networking Course – Fetch and REST APIs in JavaScript

HTTP is the backbone of the modern web, and in this course we’ll do a deep dive into all of the fundamentals you’ll need to know to master web networking. We’ll use the Fetch API to interact with a live RESTful server in order to connect the different components of a video game.

I hope the video is helpful! It was a ton of fun to record

As someone who is self taught dev, I encourage all devs to start with a good understanding of networking + DevOps, it’ll help you a ton trust me.

I love this kind of basic-concept course, there's no fancy skills or something really interesting/fresh, but it just gets me a better understanding how everything works under the hood. Nice course!

This is the best course of HTTP i have watched. Thanks!

[seetsamolapo]

Protocols - agreed upon meanings from arrangement of symbols/frequencies/rules between sender and receiver - a sort of shared language
- for computers the language is binary. Http used is a protocol used by a computer to parse the 1s and 0s

[posteotto]

Thanks for the course it was really clear and well presented.
Course 10-HTTPS - exercise 1 : the HTTP request is allowed for me and I do not get any error (on mac), when the exercise should be to use HTTPS for the call on the server. (I am using Node 18.14.0)
