• What?
Ever wonder what actually happens between clicking a link and a page appearing on your screen? This talk breaks it down — no jargon, no assumptions. We'll walk through the real infrastructure behind everything you do online:
🌍 What the internet actually is (and isn't — it's not "the cloud")
🔌 The physical stuff
🏠 IP addresses
📖 DNS
📦 How your data travels in packets across the world
📚 The TCP/IP stack
🌐 HTTP & HTTPS
🔄 The full life of a web request, from click to loaded page
This is useful for anyone who interacts with the tech industry, even in a non-technical role. Understanding what's happening under the hood helps you have better conversations with engineers, ask smarter questions, and understand what is and isn't possible.
No laptop required. This is a talk, not a workshop. Just bring your curiosity.
We will also live stream the event (Watch on YouTube).
Food will not be provided, but we encourage people to grab food together after the event.
This event and all Code Seoul events are FREE. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing tech education to the Seoul community.
