P1.3.1 Client-Server Basics & HTTP REST API Fundamentals

In this session, we cover the fundamentals every developer needs before writing a single line of web code. You'll learn: ✅ What a client and server are — and why it's about behavior, not device ✅ What happens when you open a URL — request, response, IP, port ✅ HTTP Methods — GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and how they map to CRUD ✅ What REST APIs are and why they're stateless ✅ How to read a raw HTTP request and response — method, headers, body ✅ HTTP Status Codes — 200, 201, 404, 500 and the common mistakes developers make This is the theory that makes Flask, APIs, and databases make sense. No framework yet — just the web, explained clearly. 📂 Course: PythonToGenAI 📅 Week 3: P1.3 Python Web & GUI 📓 Notebooks: P1.3.1.1 to P1.3.1.5 ───────────────────────────── 📁 GitHub https://github.com/MaighaInc/pycore/tree/main/Course-GenAIFoundation/P1_PythonAndLegacyAI/P1.3%20-%20Python%20Web%20and%20GUI 💬 Discord https://discord.gg/V35dKcApS6 ─────────────────────────────
