Lesson 1 · globe The Web, Actually
Request and Response

Every single thing on the web is a client asking for something and a server answering. The browser sends a request (a method, a path, some headers). The server sends back a response (a status code, some headers, usually a body). That's it. Frameworks are elaborate ways of deciding what goes in the response.
