Study Notes

The Internet and WWW

  • The internet is a vast network that connects various networks worldwide.
  • It facilitates communication and access to data resources.
  • The World Wide Web (WWW) is a collection of information accessible over the internet.
  • WWW is a service operating within the internet's infrastructure.

Client-Server Model

  • A distributed application structure that divides tasks between servers (resource providers) and clients (service requesters).
  • Every computer connected to the internet acts as either a server or a client.
  • Servers offer services, while clients utilize them.

The WWW

  • A distributed system composed of client and server software.
  • Web browsers function as clients, sending requests to webservers.
  • Clients initiate requests, and servers respond accordingly.

Web Application

  • A program stored on a remote server and delivered through a browser interface.
  • Web applications are run on the client's browser without installation.
  • They employ a client-server model and are written using server-side programming languages.

Client-side vs Server-side

  • Client-side processing occurs on the user's computer, using client-side scripts like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Server-side processing takes place on a webserver, using server-side scripts like PHP, Python, and Java.
  • Client-side creates static pages, whereas server-side creates dynamic pages.

Static vs Dynamic Applications

  • Static web applications display unchanging information and require developer intervention for modifications.
  • Dynamic web applications display live data that changes based on user actions and interactions.
  • Static applications utilize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and can work without a web server, only requiring a browser.
  • Dynamic applications require a web server to interpret their code, written in languages like PHP, ASP.net, or Python.
