Description:

A deep-dive, live coding talk to explore everything that happens behind the scenes of your favorite web framework.

This talk explores building web applications starting all the way from bare sockets, without using any framework. Even though this is not the most production way to build web applications, this exercise will give a chance to observe and understand everything that happens behind the scenes of any web application.

Outline

• Understand the difference between the Internet and World Wide Web
• Play with some Internet Applications
• Network programming and concurrency patterns
• Understand how web browser and web server work
• Build a web server
• Understand WSGI
• Build a web framework
• Write a simple webapp using the web framework built above

Prerequisites:

Open mind and curiosity.
