+# Project Server Notes
+
+## Checkpoint 1
+
+1. Lots of software today connects to remote servers, and can't work offline. 
+   What are some advantages of using a program or an app which uses a remote 
+   server? What are some advantages of using a program or an app which is 
+   completely local?
+
+
+
+2. You just ran a server on your own computer, and connected to it as a client 
+   on the same computer. In what other situations might it be useful to run a 
+   server on your computer, where you're the only client, on the same computer?
+
+
+
+## Checkpoint 2
+
+3. Choose a program (Steam), web app (Google Docs), or app (Weather) that you use 
+   frequently. You can't observe the calls this program is making to its server 
+   (unless you have fancy tools), but you can infer some of the calls based on the 
+   program's behavior. Describe a few routes which you think may exist for your 
+   chosen program's backend server.
+
+
+
+4. In your own words, what is an exception? When might it be useful to handle an 
+   exception? When is it better not to handle an exception, and instead let the 
+   program crash?
