What is a Server? (Deepdive)

• Another fun example is a linux display server (like X11): it's a program that has a screen it can display things on and a mouse and keyboard it can read from; graphical programs then connect to it as clients via something like dbus to ask for those inputs and tell it what to display.

• wow this was soo helpful and educational, now i can finally understand how people manage to make a minecraft server of of a samsung galaxy watch

• so humble, bless you

• Ok, what is a root? 😅 I am just starting out in IT and this video helped me a lot! I think what confused me the most really is that ‚server‘ is used for software AND hardware. So thanks for clearing that up! 💜

• Fabulous, thanks for sharing!

• Thank you ❤

• Bro is just yapping, searched up what is a server, not "explain what a server at a restaurant does?"

• You kinda went overboard when you started talking about VPNs and sockets and whatever else. At least overboard for me. A newb.

• This is so great! I love the level of detail you go into, thanks a lot!

• Great Job. I'm new to all this, and you made it easy for me to understand.

• "a lot of the games arent played anymore" man i played that map on warcraft 3 nooo use that example

• Thank you for this video. I felt how you felt when you were 17 years old. Currently learning configuration management and I was experiencing some sort of mental block then i decided to break down terms. Especially the server / web server that i thought I already know the meaning of.
  I truly appreciate this video, your 17 year old self and this lady is happy.

• so true, in a class room they made it so hard. if you do it like this I understand. thanks man.

• Vielen Dank

• This video is perfect for someone like me: the one who has used computer for more than half of their life but still get confused with all the terms. Thank you so much!

• I don't normally give feedback on end-video questions since it's time consuming and I don't think it will be read, or the authors have time to respond back. But somehow I feel that this time is different, since it looks like you are sincerely asking for that.

  So, the reason I visit this video because I want to learn more on the technical side on making a server. Like real code. The problem I get is that I'm unable to run PHP code even though I have the HTTP-server service running in the terminal. I don't expect this video to explain why my setup doesn't work; I just need it to give me a full, code-oriented picture on how server works. This video does not satisfy me, but it definitely help me clear out many nuances in the terms.

  Would I recommend my-before-watching-it-self watching it? Most likely yes, but I will definitely recommend with other videos that get directly to the code.

• Thank you for this, I was struggling to understand servers and clients definitions.

• Tahts was a superb video, now I can make my p2p project😊 thanks a lot❤

• You've answered my question and I'm aware of the term server . Thanks much.

• Dude, thanks man. I thought I was crazy too!! lol

• 💟💟💟

• this was very good. thank you for making it more clear for me

• HI dear, I don't understand when they say "Web server" "database server", is it that a server (which i understand is the computer) can only have one single function? Like it cannot be web and database server at the same time?

• man, you're really good at explaining things. got a little too confusing for me personally after the socket thing, but that's me.

• Quality content. Thanks

• As a 17 year old just getting into computer science I think you explained this amazingly!

  I feel quite stupid because my dad is a senior network architect with a large telecom company who literally holds several patents in the field and he has tried to teach me about computers since I could hold a mouse but I always ignored it because I wanted to go into the medical field. I’m cringing at how many massive multi million dollar data centers he has taken me to and tried to teach me about them while I just rolled my eyes and read whatever Harry Potter book XD

• this is such great video, thank you so much.
