What is Web Technology?

  • Collection of tools, methods, and software used to create, develop, and maintain websites and web applications.
  • About building and delivering content and services over the Internet.

Components

  • Web Servers: Powerful computers that store and serve web content to users when requested.
  • Browsers: Primary interface through which users access the internet.
  • HTML: Markup language used to structure and present content on the web.
  • CSS: Visual presentation of web content.
  • JavaScript (JS): Dynamic programming language that adds interactivity and functionality to web pages.

What is Internet?

  • Largest network globally connecting hundreds of thousands of individual networks.
  • Enables access to information and communication with anyone else in the world.
  • Works using protocols (a set of rules), such as TCP/IP, facilitating information exchange between connected devices.

Uses of the Internet

  • Communication
  • Education
  • Booking Tickets
  • E-commerce
  • Entertainment
  • Social Impact
  • Content Creation Using AI
  • Government Websites
  • Online Banking

What is the Web?

  • A global system of interconnected information organized into web pages containing text, images, and multimedia content.
  • Websites comprise multiple web pages linked by hyperlinks, facilitating navigation.
  • Web pages use hypertext to embed URLs, creating interconnected resources on a global scale.

WEB - History

  • Progression from ARPANET, TCP/IP, the invention of the Web by Tim Berners-Lee, early browsers like Mosaic and Netscape, rise of Web 2.0, semantic web, Web 3.0, and convergence with IoT, augmented reality, and AI.

How the Web Works

  • Client-server architecture: Users (clients) request webpages (resources) from servers.
  • Servers process the request and send the requested content back to the browser for display.
  • HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Common protocol used to exchange information.

How to Access the Web

  • Client: User's Internet browser, identifies servers, requests resources, and displays them.
  • Browser: Software that analyzes HTML and CSS code to produce a user-friendly visual representation.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

  • Foundation of the World Wide Web.
  • Used to load webpages using hypertext links.
  • Connectionless protocol that delivers any sort of data using a request-response model to transfer data (primarily HTML files) between a browser (client) and a web server.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

  • Universal form and standardized naming convention for designating resources over the internet.
  • URL example: http://lea-linux.org:80/reseau/secu/firewall.html#intro, including protocol, machine, port, directory, file, and fragment.
  • Common protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, MAILTO.
  • Default ports: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS).

HTTP -Request

  • Messages sent by the client(browser) to a server, requesting a resource.
  • Structure:
    • Request line (e.g., GET /index.html HTTP/1.1)
    • Headers (with information about the request, e.g., Host, User-Agent)
    • A blank line
    • Request body (optional)
  • Key elements: Method, URL, Protocol version.

HTTP -Request Header fields

  • Provide additional about the request or client.
  • Examples include: User-Agent (browser and OS), Host (server domain name).

HTTP -Request Body

  • Optional data sent to the server.
  • Structure varies depending on the request method. For example, POST or PUT requests often include form data.

Response Message

  • Every request has a response from a server.
  • Structure:
    • Status line (indicates success/failure, e.g., HTTP/1.1 200 OK)
    • Headers (with info), a blank line, and a body.

HTTP Status Codes

  • Numerical codes indicating the result of a request (e.g., success, error). Includes informational, successful/operational, and redirection/error categories.

Static Web and Dynamic Web

  • Static Web: Websites with fixed content that doesn't change based on user actions.
    • Example: A company presentation site.
    • HTML, CSS are the main technologies used
  • Dynamic Web: Websites with content that changes based on user interactions or database data.
    • Example: E-commerce site.
    • Server-side languages and frameworks used (e.g., PHP, Python, Node.js).

HTML -Language

  • Standard language used to create web pages.
  • Structuring content using tags, which define content elements and properties.
  • HTML5 is the current standard.

HTML5 Tools

  • Text Editors: Software to write and edit HTML code (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text).
  • Browsers: Display HTML content, and essential for testing websites in different environments.

HTML Formatting Tags

  • Tags used for formatting text (bold, italics, headings, lists, etc.)
  • Examples: , ,

    ,
      ,
        ,
      1. .

    • Internal Links: Links within the same website, such as links between sections.
    • External Links: Links to resources or websites outside the current one.
    • Link attributes determine the target of the link, the page or file it will be directing the user to, or how the link should be rendered.
    • Important Attributes: id, class.

    HTML Tables

    • Tables used to structure data in rows and columns.
    • Elements: , ,
      , ,
      .

      HTML Forms

      • Allows users to input or submit information, for better user interactions with the webpage

      Other HTML elements

      • Various elements used for formatting and presenting content and data
      • Examples include
        ,

        , ,

        ,
        ,
        ,

      Validation and Compatibility

      • Validation: Verifying HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code against web standards for accuracy.
