Move some of "How Computers Really Work" from the immersive go course to the main course #625

Open illicitonion opened 7 months ago

Feedback from the immersive go course is that the following content from How Computers Really Work would have been really useful to have read in the main course (maybe up-front, or maybe before Servers): Chapter 12, and specific topics: JSON/XML, HTTP/HTTPS, request/response, overview of networking, disassembly of URLs

These would have helped with trainees' understanding of the topics they're then learning/doing, rather than being left a bit in the dark.

We should work out how to integrate these topics and/or this content.

I really like this book. I've also made up a stupid game to teach binary and hex and I demand we all play it together.
