This article, the first in a series, is a very detailed explanation of how a web page gets from a remote server to your browser. If you have never heard of HSTS lists or service workers, this article is for you; it explains these concepts so clearly you'll think they're obvious. It also gets into DNS, caching, and CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) (a big deal for people writing web applications). The next article in the series is Tags to DOM by Travis Leithead and is equally recommended. It looks at parsing, tokenization and the Document Object Model (DOM). There are two more articles forthcoming in the series, so keep an eye open.
