- Networking Basics: Concepts of IP addresses, HTTP requests (GET/POST), and why the ESP32 needs to connect to a local WiFi network.
- HTML/CSS Fundamentals: Writing a minimal web page directly within the Python firmware to serve as the user interface.
- Web-to-Hardware Bridge: How to parse a URL request (e.g., /on or /off) and map it to a specific Digital GPIO pin on the ESP32.
- Concurrency & Loop Management: Ensuring the web server remains responsive without blocking the main execution loop.
