The video tutorial explains the difference between file and HTTP protocols in web development. It covers setting up a local server using Brackets and Node, including using npm to install and run an HTTP server. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on navigating directories, checking Node installation, and running the server using terminal commands. It emphasizes the importance of using the HTTP protocol for upcoming lessons and offers multiple methods to set up and access a local server.
