    Study Notes

    Web Programming - Study Notes

    • W3C: The main international standards organization for the World Wide Web.
    • Internet: A network of interconnected computers.
    • Intranet: A private network of devices within a specific company.
    • Extranet: Allows partners, suppliers, and authorized customers to access a company's intranet.

    General Concepts

    • Server: A computer program or device providing a service to another program (client).
    • Web Server: Delivers website content to clients (like web browsers).
    • Examples of web servers: Apache (AppServ), XAMPP, WAMP.
    • Communication Protocol (web servers & browsers): HTTP.
    • Web Protocols: Standard methods for transferring data/documents over a network (HTTP, SMTP, FTP, Telnet).
    • Internet Protocol (IP): Unique address assigned to each connected device.
    • Domain Name System (DNS): Allows using domain names (e.g., uobasrah.edu.iq) instead of IP addresses.
    • Uniform Resource Locator (URL): A specific address for accessing documents and resources on the Web.
    • Web Browsers: Used to access web pages, websites, and various digital content. Examples include Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
    • Web Page: Information on the Internet about a topic, business/person/organization.

    Web Page Structure

    • Web Page: A file containing interconnected resources (text, images, audio, video).
    • Website: A collection of linked web pages.
    • Types of websites: Static, Dynamic.
    • Website Development: Involves identifying site goals, user interaction, and navigation flow.
    • Interaction Design (IxD): Making a site easy, efficient and user-friendly.
    • User Interface (UI) design: How users interact with the site, including buttons, links & menus.
    • User Experience (UX) design: Understanding user needs through observation and interviews to improve the site experience and create better functionalities.
    • Site Development: Developers communicate with designers, understand site goals, and present suggested solutions.

    Website Design

    • Color Schemes: Utilize color wheels, limit color choices, and consider target audience.
    • Examples of color schemes: Complementary, Triad, Analogous.
    • Font and Size: Employ different fonts for headings and body text. Ensure text is readable (at least 12px). Use sufficient contrast between text and background colors. Avoid bright colors and unnecessary underlines. Use bold and italics for emphasis.
    • Placeholder Text: Placeholder text (like Lorem Ipsum) is used when actual content is unavailable.
    • White Space: Use white space to create an uncluttered and readable layout.
    • Navigation Menus: Consistent placement (e.g., top or left side).
    • Screen Resolution: Plan for fixed-width (specific pixel dimensions) and fluid layouts (percentage-based). Consider separate mobile versions of sites (e.g., m.yahoo.com).
    • Testing: Test in multiple browsers and screen resolutions.

    Website Development

    • Web development: Includes HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), JavaScript, server-side programming, and database management. Tools such as Bootstrap and CMS (Content Management Systems) can assist.

    HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

    • HTML elements: Provide structure for web pages; examples include headings (<h1> to <h6>), paragraphs (<p>), line breaks (<br>), centering tags, bold text, italic text, strikethrough text, superscript/subscript text, and larger/smaller text.
    • Comments: used for notes in the code.

    HTML Input Types

    • Different input types (text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons).

    HTML Attributes

    • Attributes: Properties assigned to HTML elements. Examples include value, readonly, disabled, size, maxlength, min, max, multiple, pattern, required, step, autofocus, height, width, list, autocomplete. Provide initial values, disable fields, establish limits and enforce validation rules.

    Forms

    • Form attributes: Autocomplete (on, off), novalidate (disables validation). The enctype attribute specifies the form's data encoding. The target attribute dictates where to submit the form results, (e.g., a new window).
