What is the Internet?
- The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure.
- It connects millions of computers globally.
- Any computer connected to the Internet can communicate with any other computer.
- Internet communication uses a set of rules known as protocols.
What is WWW?
- WWW stands for World Wide Web.
- It is the collection of all resources and users on the Internet that use HTTP.
- HTTP is a text-based request-response protocol.
- It's an application layer protocol allowing web-based applications to communicate and exchange data.
- HTTP is a connectionless and stateless protocol.
- After a client makes a request, the client disconnects, and the server reconnects to deliver the response.
- HTTP is the protocol transferring hypertext documents, enabling the World Wide Web.
How the Web Works?
- The World Wide Web uses a client-server architecture.
- A client (e.g., a web browser) requests a page.
- The server (e.g., a web server software like Apache, IIS, Tomcat) processes the request and sends a response.
HTTP Request
- An HTTP request message has a request line, header fields, an empty line, and an optional message body.
- The request line specifies the method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), the resource, and the protocol version.
- Header fields provide additional information such as the requested content type and the date of the request.
HTTP Response
- A server responds with an HTTP response message.
- The response includes a status line (HTTP version, status code, reason phrase).
- Additional response headers and an optional message body (e.g., HTML content).
- Status codes (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found, 500 Server Error) indicate the result of the request.
Introduction to Web Technologies
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language): Used for structuring web pages using markup. It defines the structure, and Hypertext defines the relationship between the pages(links).
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used for styling web pages. It is used independently of HTML, to describe how the HTML elements should be displayed(styling).
- JavaScript: A scripting language for creating interactive web pages and enhancing website functionality.
Bootstrap
- A popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive websites.
- It's a free, download framework containing predefined choices of color, size and layout for a website.
Material Design
- A design system by Google for building quality digital experiences (Android, iOS, Flutter, web).
- It's inspired by the physical world.
Concepts of Effective Web Design
- Plan the website by considering the purpose, audience, structure, and necessary elements beforehand.
- Sketch the website on paper, determine consistent naming conventions for pages, images and files.
Web Design Issues
- Browser & Operating Systems: Different browsers render HTML tags in different way. The same browser may exhibit differing behaviors in different operating systems.
- Bandwidth and Cache: Connection speed affects download time. Browser 'cache' is used to store frequently accessed files to improve response time.
- Display Resolution: Resolution varies across devices, requiring flexible design and frameworks for proper presentation.
- Look and Feel: Design elements like site theme, typography, graphics, and navigation structure affect the website's appearance.
- Page Layout and Linking: Website structure and linking between pages must be consistent and logical for user experience.
- Locating Information: Web page design should facilitate easy location of information.
- Making Design User-Centric: Design should cater to user needs (navigation, search).
- Sitemap: A model of website for efficient navigation by users and search engines.
Planning a Website
- Key to successful websites, planning is crucial.
- Prioritize defining the purpose, target audience, desired outcomes, and content organization for a website.
Effective Navigation
- Navigation should efficiently guide users through the website.
- Clear, consistent, logical navigation enhances user experience.
- Hyperlinks for navigation should be understandable.
- Design considerations for effective navigation should be clear and consistent.
