Hi Michael,

So, when you log into teamtreehouse.com, the client is your web browser and the server is Treehouse's server(s). You (your client) sends a request — that contains your username and password — to "log in" to Treehouse and then Treehouse (their server) sends a message back to your client (your web browser) containing some HTML that either says "yup, you're in" or "bummer. I don't know you." Or something like that. Let me know if that answered your question.

Taking Joy's example here...

When you pull up to a drive-thu, you (client) request an order, then your order goes through the kitchen (server) to be cooked. Once your meal has finished cooking, the kitchen (server) then delivers your order to you (client).

Hope this helps.

Hey Michael, I'm sure you have the correct answer, however, I do notice sometimes in the quiz section that even though you have the correct answer, sometimes you will receive "bummer" response. I'm assuming there's some kind of bug in the quiz section. Try retaking the quiz again with your same answer, it should be corrected then (well, thats what work for me at least). Please let me know if this works for you.

In the client server model, the (client) makes a request to the (server) and the (server) gives back the content to the (client).

Think of your client as your laptop, mobile phone, a smart watch, basically any device with a browser on it that connects to the internet. Your server is the bit that stores all of this data. HTTP ferries this data backward and forwards between the "client" and the "server".
