Study Notes

Internet Applications Programming - Chapter 1

Internet: A vast network of interconnected computers enabling global information sharing and communication.
World Wide Web (WWW): A system of interconnected hypertext documents accessible via the internet. Formatted in HTML and accessed using HTTP.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): An international organization standardizing the web to ensure interoperability and cooperation among web developers. Established in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee.
Website: A collection of related web pages, identified by a common domain name, hosted on one or more servers. Examples include personal, corporate, government, and organizational sites.
Web Page: A document suitable for viewing on web browsers and the WWW. Typically written in HTML and displayed on monitors or mobile devices.
Web Browser: Software applications used to access web pages. Popular browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.
Web Server: A computer program that stores, processes, and delivers web pages to clients. Communication uses HTTP protocol. Delivered pages are often HTML documents, potentially including images, style sheets, and scripts alongside text.
Web Page Addresses (URL): Uniform Resource Locators specify the location of a resource (example: a web page) on the internet, defining the protocol, domain name, and path to the requested resource.
URL Components: URLs have protocols (e.g., http, https), domain names (e.g., www.example.com), and paths (e.g., /index.html) to locate specific web pages.
Domain Names: Human-readable names for locations on the internet where resources are stored, often websites. For example, microsoft.com is a domain name.
Paths: Parts of URLs indicating the specific files or resources within a server.
Domain Registrar: Companies providing domain registration services and managing the database of registered domain names, including propagating information across the internet.
Web Client: A software application (like a web browser) that requests and receives web pages from a web server.
HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol; the standard protocol for communication between web browsers and web servers.
HTTP Request: When a web client wants a web page, it issues an HTTP request.
HTTP Response: The web server returns an HTTP response with the requested data.
Primary Web Technologies:
- HTML: Hypertext Markup Language for creating web pages' structure and content.
- CSS: Cascading Style Sheets for controlling the appearance of web pages.
- JavaScript (JS): Used for interactive components within web pages.
- PHP: Server-side scripting language for dynamic web pages and interactions.
- Structured Query Language (SQL): For managing and interacting with databases, often when dealing with large amounts of information.
