Web Technology for beginners
Web technology has been evolving for more than last 2 decades. It has made people's life easy to communicate and interact. In this blog we will cover some basics of web technology.
Let's cover the basics:
HTML (HyperText Markup Language):
HTML is the backbone of any web page. It defines the structure and content of a webpage using various elements like headings, paragraphs, images, links, forms, etc. HTML uses tags to mark up content, and web browsers render these tags to display the page.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):
CSS is used to control the presentation and layout of HTML elements. With CSS, you can define how elements should appear on the screen, such as colors, fonts, spacing, and positioning. It helps separate the content from its visual representation.
JavaScript:
JavaScript is a programming language that adds interactivity and dynamic features to web pages. It allows you to create responsive elements, handle user interactions, and manipulate the content on the page. JavaScript is essential for building interactive web applications.
Client-Side vs. Server-Side:
Web technologies can be broadly categorized into client-side and server-side. Client-side technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript run on the user's web browser and are responsible for the user interface and interactivity. Server-side technologies like PHP, Python, Ruby, or Node.js handle data processing, server operations, and database interactions.
Responsive Web Design:
Modern websites are designed to be responsive, meaning they adjust their layout and content based on the user's device (desktop, tablet, smartphone). This ensures that the website looks good and functions well on various screen sizes.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol):
HTTP is the protocol used for communication between web browsers and web servers. It allows the transfer of data, such as HTML pages, images, and other resources, over the internet.
Web Hosting:
Web hosting refers to the service of storing and making your website accessible on the internet. When you create a website, you need to upload its files to a web hosting server to make it publicly available.
Domain Name:
A domain name is the address of your website on the internet (e.g., www.example.com). Users can access your website by typing this domain name into their web browsers.
CMS (Content Management Systems):
A CMS is a software application that simplifies website creation and content management. Examples include WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
Version Control:
Version control systems like Git help developers track changes to their code, collaborate with others, and maintain different versions of their projects.
These are just a few of the essential concepts in web technology. As you progress, you'll encounter more specialized technologies and frameworks for front-end development (React, Angular, Vue.js), back-end development (Express.js, Django, Ruby on Rails), databases (MySQL, MongoDB), and more. Start by learning the basics, practice building simple websites, and gradually delve deeper into the areas that interest you the most. Happy learning!
