Welcome to another installment of Codects, my weekly coding adventure where I take on new challenges to learn something cool. Last week we dove into Linux and built my own simple UNIX-based shell. This week, I decided to build something practical and foundational in terms of web development—a simple web server in Python. While there are plenty of robust servers out there, like Apache and Nginx, building your own server from scratch is a great way to understand how the web actually works, so that’s what I did.
