#2 - Basics of Web Programming #2: All About HTTP

Watch.Steve is a project by me, Steve Klabnik. Every Monday I'll post a new screencast about computer programming. The first series of episodes is called 'Basics of Web Programming.' It's designed to teach you all about making web applications, starting from the ground up. No previous programming knowledge is assumed, and by the end, you'll have built a small website, while understanding all the details that go into its creation.
