Abstract

This will be the most ambitious chapter in the entire book. I’ll attempt to walk you through a common technical product manager interview question that will give you insight into the way the Internet works, then cover the elements of a website to show you all the web technologies that play a part in the page being loaded in your browser. You will not magically become a web developer or immediately understand the nitty gritty of networking, but with additional study you will be able to firmly grasp the concepts we cover. If you already have a background in software development, skip past this chapter and move onward.
