    Study Notes

    TCP/IP and HTTP/S Protocols

    • HTTP is the protocol for web communication.
    • HTTP uses a message-based model to communicate between a client and a server.
    • The client sends a request message, and the server returns a response message, to complete the communication.

    HTTP Messages

    • All HTTP messages consist of a header followed by a mandatory blank line and then an optional body.
    • Headers are stored on separate lines.

    HTTP Request Headers

    • The request header contains specific information about the request being made.
    • The HTTP Method, the requested URL, the HTTP Version, and the Host are important components of the request header.
    • The Accept, Referer, Accept-Language, User-Agent, Accept-Encoding, and Connection are also included in a request header.

    HTTP Methods

    • GET: Used to retrieve resources from a server and does not have a message body.
      • GET methods send parameters in the URL query string.
      • GET requests can be bookmarked.
      • The whole URL appears in server logs.
    • POST: Used to submit data to a server and has a message body.
      • Parameters in the body are not saved in bookmarks or server logs.
      • It is a better method for sending sensitive data.

    HTTP Response Headers

    • The response header contains information about the response being sent back to the client.
    • It begins with the HTTP version, followed by a numeric status code, and a textual "reason phrase."
    • Other important headers include Server, Set-Cookie, Pragma, Expires, Content-Type, and Content-Length.
    • The message body is optional and included after the headers.

    Web Development Technologies

    • JSP: (JavaServer Pages)

      • Built upon Java Servlets.
      • JSP pages are compiled and run as servlets, making it fast, scalable, and reliable.
      • JSP pages provide access to the entire Java API including Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).
      • Ideal for large-scale, complex websites.

    • Perl:

      • A general-purpose, scripting language, primarily known for being excellent for text manipulation.
      • Perl is widely used for system administration, web development, network programming, and more.
      • Perl supports a wide range of databases, including MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, and Postgres.
      • It works with HTML, XML, and supports Unicode.

    • PHP:

      • PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), a server-side scripting language embedded into HTML to create dynamic content, manage databases, and build entire e-commerce websites.
      • It supports various databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server.
      • Supports a range of protocols, including POP3, IMAP, and LDAP.

    • ASP.NET:

      • An open-source web framework developed by Microsoft for building modern web applications and services with .NET.
      • Cross-platform, running on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker.

    • Ruby:

      • Object-oriented server-side scripting language that can be used by both beginners and experts.
      • It features functional programming elements and syntax like Python and Perl.

    • Node.js:

      • A server-side scripting language and runtime environment.
      • Easy to learn and a popular choice for web development beginners.
      • Provides scalability, especially for handling a high number of simultaneous connections.
      • Written in C and C++, making it fast and providing features like networking support.
      • Supports cross-platform development, allowing for the creation of websites, desktop apps, and mobile apps.

    • Python

      • A popular, high-level, versatile, and flexible language for building dynamic websites and web applications.
      • Python has a robust ecosystem of frameworks, libraries, and tools to simplify web development.
      • There are two main popular frameworks
        • Django: A full-stack framework that follows DRY and "convention over configuration" principles.
          • Comes with an ORM, templating engine, and an admin interface.
          • Best for building large, robust web applications quickly.
        • Flask: A lightweight, flexible micro-framework that provides more control over choosing tools and libraries.
          • Best for small to medium-sized projects where simplicity and customization are needed.

    Client-Side Functions

    • Interact with temporary storage
    • Create interactive webpages
    • Interact with local storage
    • Send data requests to the server
    • Act as an interface between servers and users.

    JavaScript

    • A lightweight object-oriented programming language used for scripting web pages.
    • It is an interpreted full-fledged language that enables dynamic interaction on websites.
    • It's the most popular programming language in the world.

    AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML)

    • A technique that allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server.
    • This means that parts of a webpage can be updated without reloading the entire page.
    • Uses XHTML for content, CSS for presentation, and JavaScript for dynamic content display.
    • Independent of web server software and the web browser.

    How AJAX Works

    • An event occurs on the webpage, such as loading the page or clicking a button.
    • JavaScript creates an XMLHttpRequest object.
    • The XMLHttpRequest object sends a request to the server.
    • The server processes the request.
    • The server sends a response back to the webpage.
    • JavaScript reads the response.
    • JavaScript performs actions like page updates.

    XML (Extensible Markup Language)

    • Used to describe data.
    • It is a flexible way to create information formats for both private and public sharing.
    • The primary goal of XML is to create formats for data that are used to encode information for documentation, database records, transactions, and other types of data.
    • The content of the XML document can be generated from other data sources.

    SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

    • It’s a protocol used for exchanging structured information over the internet between applications of different platforms.
    • It uses XML to encode data.
    • It allows applications to communicate and exchange information regardless of the underlying programming language or operating system.
