How Websites Work talk
How do modern websites work? I give you a cross sectional tour of the web -
from the second you hit the enter key to when you see google. How does a
website really work behind the scenes? What do databases, caches, servers,
content delivery networks do? What's javascript? What is frontend versus
backend? How does a massive website like Facebook or Twitter work? What does
"the cloud" mean? Why do companies care other than the buzzword factor? What is
"big data", really?
