ECS 162 Web Programming Cartoons
Spring 2019

The code that we write in a Web app is just a small part of all the code that has to run to make the app work. Understanding all the other software we cooperate with is important for understanding how to write our parts of the system. These cartoons are intended to help you build up a model in your head of some of that other software. Important players such as the browser, the server, and a Javascript interpreter who works for the browser, are imagined as helpful little people, and HTTP requests are responses are carried by a little blue bird with an attitude.
