If you are only interested in the HTTP part and not messing with Express/Postman, just watch the first 17 mins or so. Hope you enojy....thanks for watching!

[@vehbikaraagac4068]

Traversy Media i think I'm planning on giving like %5 of my first paycheck to KZbinrs that have helped me. You guys deserve a lot

[@radanmitasik8793]

Great video thank you for your effort !

Make some course on django channels (websocket) for messenger with reactjs for frontend technology.. hope get soon. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 & 44th viewer

thanks

Brad, just correcting one thing. An octet is not an "eight bit byte", it is a group of 3 bits (which can represent 8 values between 0 to 7). So a value of 255 will be written as 0377 (note the leading zero which denotes the value is written in octals). Love your vids, they are very informative and cover so many topics

[@compton8301]

Many lives have been financially changed by your channel and your Udemy courses; I am excelling in my career mostly because of your tutorials since I don't have a degree in software development. Thank you Brad.

actually economically is the wrong word: it's "financially improved"

[@dalemoayokunle7330]

bobby hill Smiles, thanks for the correction, i guess you're a teacher..... And at least, there's no one who doesn't understant what he means..

[@loremipsum752]

i know it's been a while since you commented but may I ask, how long did it take to land a job?

[@compton8301]

@@loremipsum752 2 years. But I was busy with other things- if put in the work, I think you should be ready for a junior role in a year. CS50 -> freeCodeCamp -> Brad's MERN course. After those 3 courses, you should be an amazing junior dev. If money is tight, just go through MERN playlist here on KZbin.

[@tolstoy_was_right]

Great explanation and very useful examples on using the http headers. Thank you man!

[@MisterKitKit]

Very cool and informative video!! Maybe it would have been nice to mention the standing of REST with HTTP, because nowadays It seems like it is all about REST and people don't even understand the meaning behind that. I really love the way you explain and teach things and you made my life a lot easier with all of your videos. I'm interested in how much you work with cloud products like AWS or Azure ?

[@IvanZulfikar]

I was looking for a good video explanation but stumbled upon a bad one after a google search. Im glad you already cover it. Great video

[@63montywilliams50]

Great content, im a huge fan! I learn so much from your presentations, always thorough and all points expressed clearly. Im currently a student in software development and i watch 1 of your videos that corresponds to the lessons i receive as i get new assignments. Your so thorough i have yet to be introduced to a concept that you dont already have a video for and ive been in school for like 6 months!. Thats 🐐 level stuff man. Thanks for everything u do and im glad u found something u are a passionate about that is both fulfilling and helpfull to the society. Good stuff man

Excellent video, thanks a lot. Maybe it is not like that for everyone, but I did not expect the demos to be using ExpressJS and I really enjoyed them.

Great video. I think this one should be a prerequisite for a lot of the express videos. I understand what the hell (req, res ) actually means now. Thanks again Brad!

[@HT-rr9ww]

On the software side, a web server includes several parts that control how web users access hosted files. At a minimum, this is an HTTP server. An HTTP server is software that understands URLs (web addresses) and HTTP (the protocol your browser uses to view webpages).

[@MasterAless]

I've watched the entire video and I not only liked it but also learned so much, I dare to say that if you really want to learn about the theory, just watch the first 17 minutes of the video, however; you'd be losing almost the most incredible stuff, so watch it until the end 📼

[@naynyamish270]

no way , i just getting into a tutorial on express on udemy and then the instructor started to explain about tcp/http and stuff so i decided to do more depth search and then your video show up

[@fran_sar]

Excelent video! This is the second time I watch it! It seems to be the only one in youtube that explain this good about the protocol, it is no easy to find a global intro explanation like this, and even worst, it is uncommon to find videos and courses about web development that goes over this topic that is really really important, it should be the base knowledge. Could you point me in the direction or share with me an article or video to get an idea about multi-language sites regarding the http protocol, char encoding and everything that is important in this matter? (locale, lang, etc) Thank you!

[@lcapocer]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@fran_sar]

Thank you for this video. Is true that theres is no much around about it. MDN has a good material. But I think there is one thing missing here and almost everywhere and is that the files goes within the http response (in the response body) and the browser "extract" and/or parse (I`m not sure) the content. Regarding that process or topic is very difficult to find info included in the HTTP explanations. However, I think this video is one of the best summary explanation I found on the subject. Thank you!
