How Web Works is an educational project that explains how the web functions behind the scenes, walking developers through the sequence of events that occur from the moment a user enters a URL into a browser to when content is delivered on the screen. It breaks down networking basics like DNS resolution, HTTP requests and responses, TCP/IP fundamentals, browser rendering processes, and how servers handle and respond to client requests. By illuminating these core web infrastructure concepts, the repository demystifies the layers that power web browsing and helps developers build a foundational understanding of how data travels across the internet. The explanations are designed for learners at various levels, making this a great primer for anyone studying web development, networking, or server architecture.
