    Study Notes

    Client-Server Concept

    • Client-server systems work together to deliver network services
    • The server initiates communication, sending information back to the client

    Client-Server Objectives

    • Students will learn about client-side scripts
    • Students will understand client-side scripting languages
    • Students will learn about server-side scripts

    Web Server and Web Browser Interactions

    • Users type a URL into a web browser
    • The browser sends the URL request to the web server
    • Web server accepts, processes the request
    • Sends the information back to the browser
    • The browser displays the requested information

    Client-Server Relationships

    • The client-server relationship is fundamental to computer languages on the web
    • Key differences are how the languages are invoked, what resources they access, what structures they manipulate, how they interact with the user and system, and their speed/predictability

    Client Side Scripts

    • Scripts are interpreted and executed by the browser
    • Examples include Javascript, JScript, and VBScript
    • Script may be embedded in HTML
    • May be in separate files
    • Validate user input and enhance web pages

    Server Side Scripts

    • Server-side scripts run on the server
    • Examples include Python, Perl, PHP
    • Used to generate HTML for the browser
    • Server-side scripts operate independently from the client

    XAMPP

    • XAMPP is a web server distribution bundle for PHP applications
    • Included software: Apache, MySQL, PHP, and optional Perl
    • Available for Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, and Solaris
    • Document root directory for Windows is: C:\xampp\htdocs
    • Browser URL alias is http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

    Internet Application- Architecture

    • Top layer - uses support layers from networked application support layer to perform organization functions
    • Composed of networked application support, transport protocol, and network transmission/ communication layers
    • Layers work collectively for application tasks
