I needed to implement a simple web server 8 or 9 years ago, and I remember it being hard to find information on how to do it. I finally did find something, but as I vaguely recall it was somehow a bit more complicated than this. I wish your video was around back then.


More recently I used Jersey and Spring Boot to create web servers/applications and they're so complex when you just need something basic: Jersey is pain in the butt to configure, plus you need a separate webserver like Tomcat, and Spring is a huge, complex framework. They have their uses, sure, but I'll be coming back to this video when I just need something simple.

Thanks so much! I've been looking for a straightforward example and haven't found one until now.

I Love the way you are writing the code ❤️. I want to prepare to write the code like this ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, can I use it to update my website without refreshing it? Or I have to use WebSockets?

very NOT useful like most tutorials... I directly starts didn't know why "package org ea" didn't work, and because I didn't know, I don't know what to learn or where to find. 🤷‍♂
Is this some to install? Where is the java file located? In src folder? Why do you hide this side bar? After 2 Minutes, I know this is not helpful I close and bye.
Can someone say how are the steps before? Man this waste so much time for beginners. Time of years really...
If I google package org ea nothing helpful appears, so how to learn, where to find, what the heck is this?? Since 10 yrs I try to learn programming and this is what happens!?

For me such tutorial are completely useless. But I didn't know what I have to learn instead. Holy crap.
