Concepts Covered

• net/http package — routing and server setup
• Handler functions (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
• Writing responses with fmt.Fprintln and fmt.Fprintf
• Reading query parameters with r.URL.Query().Get()
• Inspecting requests via r.Method and r.URL.Path
• Middleware pattern — wrapping handlers for cross-cutting concerns
