“Web browsers are ubiquitous, but how do they work? This book explains, building a basic but complete web browser, from networking to JavaScript, in a couple thousand lines of Python.”

I stumbled across this book in Robin Sloan’s newsletter Attention Router. There is no need to go building your own web browser, but this strikes me as a project that would leave you with a deeper understanding of how the web works.
