Hi, I'm Chris and
I'm a teacher here at Tree House.
0:04
If you're here taking courses at Tree
House, chances are that eventually you'll
0:07
want to make something and that thing
whether it's an iOS app Android app or
0:13
web app with Java, Ruby, PHP,
Node.js, Python or what have you.
0:17
This app will likely involve some
sort of internet connection.
0:22
Maybe you're making a website for
your family's new cured meat business.
0:27
And you want to establish a web
presence by communicating
0:31
to potential customers in your region.
0:33
Or maybe you've written the latest
animated gif library so that your future
0:36
users can log in and share their craziest
animated cat gifs in their browsers.
0:40
Or maybe you've just jammed
together a sweet IoS app
0:44
with Swift that allows your
users minute by minute
0:48
forecast data by connecting to
a remote weather data provider.
0:50
In any of these cases,
you'll be communicating over the internet.
0:55
Now I'm not gonna show you how
to code any of these apps.
0:58
You can check out our extensive library
of programming courses to do that.

What I will do in this course is help you
understand the language that's used to
1:05
communicate over the internet, it's called
HTTP or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.
1:09
And it is the set of rules
that govern how two devices
1:16
should communicate with each
other over the internet.
