uhhhh... when reading this each ^ refers to the level of parent bullet its referring to... just a reference

• Net Module is low level module that creates TCP/IP servers/client
• ^ remember that TCP/IP intercepts HTTP requests/response and encodes that to send over the hardware protocol
• ^ thus when Joe had us work on Net Module we had to decode the encoded HTTP request/response to parse it

---

• HTTP Module is built off of Net Module
• ^ http.createServer creates and returns a http.Server object
• ^^ http.Server object has methods for listening to connections and so forth

---

• Express is built off of HTTP Module
• ^ app = express() returns a function (I think...)
• ^^ app.listen() both creates an http.Server object and has it listen to a connection
