🌐 Every Developer Should Grasp These Internet Basics: Essential Knowledge for Success #WebDev #Internet101

Ready to unlock the secrets of the web? Let's decode the essential jargon! 💻

1. Packets: These are like digital envelopes. Your data is broken down into packets for a safe journey across the internet.

2. Router: The traffic conductor, guiding packets to their destination. Think of it as your digital GPS.

3. IP Address: Unique digital ID for devices. Just like your home address, it ensures data reaches the right doorstep.

4. Domain Name: Web addresses we can actually remember, like "facebook.com" or "amazon.com."

5. DNS (Domain Name System): The phone book of the internet. It translates human-friendly domain names into machine-friendly IP addresses.

6. HTTP & HTTPS: The chat language between your browser and websites. HTTP is the norm, but HTTPS adds a layer of security with data encryption.

7. SSL/TLS: The digital bodyguards. They shield your data during transit, making sure it's for your eyes only.

8. HTTP Methods: These are the actions you take on the web. Common methods include:

   • GET: Retrieve data from a server.
   • POST: Send data to be processed by the server.
   • PUT: Update data on the server.
   • DELETE: Remove data from the server.
   • PATCH: Make partial updates to data on the server.

9. HTTP Status Codes: The web's way of talking back to your browser. Some key ones include:

   • 200 OK: Everything went well.
   • 404 Not Found: The requested page doesn't exist.
   • 500 Internal Server Error: Something went wrong on the server's end.
