title: HTTP data streaming for beginners?
body: <p>I am starting to work on a project where I need to stream Twitter data using PowerTrack/GNIP and I have to be honest when I say I am very very inexperienced when it comes to networks and I have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to Data Stream (HTTP), how they work etc. </p>
  
  <p>Are there any resources out there that go through all of this in simple terms? I would love to be able to map Data streaming process in my head before I start looking at APIs etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
