Web Technologies
What is Web Technology?
Web technology is the establishment and use of mechanisms that make it possible for different computers and devices to communicate and share resources. Web technologies are infrastructural building blocks of any effective computer network.
Web technologies are infrastructural building blocks of any effective computer network: local area network, metropolitan area network or a wide area network, such as the Internet. Communication on a computer could never be as effective as they are without the plethora of Web technologies in existence
What is the use of Web technology?
→Computers and other network devices need to communicate.
→A mechanism must make it possible for a computer to communicate with another computer on the same network or another network.
→The mechanism must ensure that a message moves from the sender to the recipient, enabling the receiver to retrieve the message, send feedback and acknowledge reception or failure of communication.
→A variety of Web technology is vital to the function and success of many businesses.
→These include online appointment scheduling programs, websites and a way for customers to chat with representatives. Also, Web technology makes it possible for businesses to collect data on their customers to further customize their services.
How web technologies are developed?
By using Markup Languages:
→Markup languages like HTML, CSS, and XML are part of Web technology.
→These languages tell computers in text how to format, layout and style Web pages and programs.
→Two types of markup languages include procedural markup and descriptive markup. Additional types of languages include CGI and HTTP.
Programming Languages:
Programming languages include Perl, C#, Java and Visual Basic .NET. These languages are used by Web developers to create websites and applications. Each language has pros and cons, and most developers know several different types to help them achieve their goals.
HTML: The Foundation of any Web Site.
HTML (HyperText Mark-up Language) is the glue that holds together every web site. Like building a house, you always build a strong foundation first. For any site, HTML is that foundation. HTML is an open-source language (i.e. not owned by anyone), which is easy to learn, and requires no fancy (or expensive!) packages to start using it. All you need is something to type with, such as Windows Notepad, and a lot of time and patience.
HTML works on a ‘tag’ system, where each tag effects the content placed within that tag;
<TAG>What the tag effects</TAG>.
CSS(Cascading Style Sheets)
→CSS is a relatively new language, designed to expand upon the limited style properties of HTML.
→Easy to learn and implement, CSS is an excellent way to control the style of your site, such as text styles like size, color, and font.
→CSS may also be placed inside the HTML page or in separate files.
Java Script
→JavaScript is an object orient programming language designed to make web development easier and more attractive. In most cases, JavaScript is used to create responsive, interactive elements for web pages, enhancing the user experience.
→ Things like menus, animations, video players, interactive maps, and even simple in-browser games can be created quickly and easily with JavaScript.
→The real advantage of having all of the style properties for your entire site in one single CSS file is that you may edit that single file to effect changes on the whole site, rather than having to go through each HTML file one at a time. For this reason, it is perhaps the most useful web technology and certainly one of my favorites.
