Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - HTTP Methods

The video tutorial explains the standard protocol for client-server communication using HTTP methods. It introduces HTTP methods as predefined verbs like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, which describe client-server interactions. The tutorial highlights the importance of these core verbs in building applications and explains the structure of HTTP requests, which include a verb and a URL. It also discusses the developer's role in controlling API communication and the server-side setup for handling requests. The video sets the stage for a deeper dive into REST APIs in the next session.
