Summary
This is a very high level overview of what a server is. We specifically will be using it as a webserver using apache. Once you get the fundamentals down you will be able to expand from a simple web server to extend its functions.
Apache will send files to your server. Once the server has sent the data it will close the connection. This is important if you are making a service that has live features in it.
The tutor site is what will be the hands on bit of todays lesson. Next post we will be installing and configuring apache. As always i can be found in the community_learning chat room.
