A must read for all junior developers who work with HTTP. I thought I was well acquainted with the ins and outs of HTTP but actually learned a few new things. And the writing style makes this an easy read.
RIP, Scott Allen. You'll be missed.

Како што и самиот наслов кажува оваа книга претставува скратено, концизно (Succinctly) објаснување на HTTP протоколот. Во неа е даден краток осврт на URL адресите, портите, Query string-овите, најчестите пораки кои што се испраќаат, Request и Response пораките кои што се разменуваат меѓу клиентот и серверот, HTTP методите кои се користат при комуникацијата со посебно внимание на најкористените HTTP методи GET и POST. Исто така на кратко е објаснето за конекциите кои што се воспоставуваат при комуникацијата преку HTTP протоколот, Веб архитектурата и состојбата и сигурноста на Вебот низ HTTP и Secure HTTP (или HTTPS) протоколите.

Како и останатите книги од серијалот Succinctly од SyncFusion и оваа книга е бесплатна (со едноставно зачленување на веб страната на SyncFusion) и е одлична за почеток за запознавање или пак за потсетување на основите на HTTP стандардот. Секоја од книгите од серијалот Succinctly од SyncFusion е во краток формат од околу 50 до 100 страници со краток осврт на темата за која се пишува (претежно ова се книги за .NET Framework-от и технологии поврзани со оваа платформа). Подетални информации за HTTP протоколот може да најдете во книгата “HTTP: The Definitive Guide” од David Gourley и Brian Totty од 2002 година или во RFC 2616 стандардот кој што го опишува HTTP протоколот издаден во Јуни 1999 година.

What a fantastic little book, and free at that. I've never really thought much about what HTTP actually was so it was enlightening to find out it was what I knew it was but didn't realize what I knew was in fact HTTP. In other words, a lot of what is in this book describes a lot of what is wrapped by the ASPX framework & is stuff which can more or less be taken for granted, however it is great, well, even important to know it at a lesser abstraction.
This book is as it states, succinct. It doesn't beat around the bush but presents what it needs to in a concise manner. I'm sure it could have been expanded but for what it is, this did a pretty good job at explaining HTTP headers, what's in them, how web servers interact with them & how other things such as caching & authentication are supported by them. it gives a short run down on the layers of HTTP as well. This really did add value to my development life. I will be exploring more in this series.

Face exact ceea ce își propune să facă: prezintă HTTPul într-un mod succint. Informativă, clară și destul de interesantă. Recomand.
