Software System Design
Software · 1 lesson · 3 min · BeginnerLearn how a web app actually answers you: a request leaves the browser, a server works on stored data and a response comes back. Each lesson builds on that same trip to show where work and waiting go, and how to design for more users and for failures.
What you'll be able to do
- Trace a button click from the browser to the server, the database and back
- Explain what a request and a response carry and why the server is needed
- Predict which part of a system does the work for a given request
