WEB SYSTEMS
- A web system is a collection of interconnected software applications and technologies, enabling online services, information sharing, and communication.
- Its purpose is to facilitate interactions, data sharing, and online tasks for businesses, organizations, and individuals.
- Examples include e-commerce (like Lazada), communication platforms (like MS Teams), social media (like Facebook), and video sharing (like YouTube).
- Key characteristics include: interactivity (allowing user input and responses), dynamism (adapting to user actions and real-time updates), and accessibility (global access via various devices).
WEB ARCHITECTURE
- Web architecture is the design, creation, and implementation of a web system.
- It considers all system components to enhance user experience.
- Crucial components include:
- Design (visual appeal),
- IT infrastructure (coding & development),
- User Experience (simple navigation),
- Software (program support),
- Monetization (earning potential),
- Efficiency (design and programming optimization),
- Reliability (trustworthiness),
- Scalability (adaptability to growth), and
- Security (protection of user data).
- Good architecture enhances a system's adaptability and overall quality.
- Key benefits of effective architecture include increased network security, program stability, faster user request processing, data collection for improvements, and the ability to scale the system.
CLIENT-SERVER MODEL & HTTP PROTOCOL
- Client: A user (or computer) accessing services from a server.
- Server: The system providing services and data to clients.
- Client-Server Model: A distributed architecture separating client request and server processing. Clients request; servers provide.
- How it Works: Clients send requests to servers over the internet; servers process and return data.
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): A standard protocol for communication between web browsers and servers, enabling data transfer. HTTP forms the basis of World Wide Web communication.
- HTTP Versions: Several versions exist, including HTTP/0.9 (initial), HTTP/1.0 (enhanced), HTTP/1.1 (standardized), HTTP/2 (increased performance), and HTTP/3 (using QUIC for faster connections).
- HTTP Methods: Various methods exist for different actions like: GET (retrieving), POST (submitting), PUT (updating/creating), PATCH (partial updates), DELETE (removing), HEAD (retrieving headers), OPTIONS (communication options), TRACE (echoing a request), and CONNECT (creating a tunnel).
- HTTP Flow: Clients send HTTP requests; Servers process requests; Servers send HTTP responses; Clients receive and process responses.
EVOLUTION OF WEB TECHNOLOGIES
- Web 1.0: (Static web) Prevalent in the 1990s-2000s, primarily focused on delivering static content (read-only). Static HTML pages were common.
- Web 2.0: (Social web) Emerging in the early 2000s, focusing on user-generated content, interactive sites, and social networking. Dynamic content, user-generated content, and rich web applications were included.
- Web 3.0: (Semantic/Decentralized web) Focuses on intelligence, decentralization (using blockchain), and interoperability. Data is structured, machines understand the context, AI/ML are used for personalized experiences.
BASIC WEB DEVELOPMENT
- Building and maintaining websites, combining creativity, functionality, design, and programming.
- Front-end: User interface and experience (visible aspects).
- Back-end: Server-side processes, databases, and business logic.
- Collaboration between front-end (designers) and back-end (developers) is crucial.
- Essential Languages: HTML (structure), CSS (styling), and JavaScript (interactivity).
- Web Servers: Powerful computers that store website files. Hosting services help make websites accessible.
INTRODUCTION TO HTML5
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language): Used to structure web pages.
- HTML5: Current version, includes APIs, DOM, and support in modern browsers. New features include offline functionality, enhanced typography, responsive capabilities, structured semantics (improved meaning with new tags), local storage, 3D graphics, and a plugin-free experience.
- HTML5 Semantic Tags: Provide meaning to HTML elements, improving accessibility and SEO. Examples: , , , , etc.
CSS3 BASICS
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used to control the style and layout of web pages.
- Key features: Styling HTML elements, separating content from design, enhanced visual aspects (transitions, animations), and flexible layouts.
- Responsive Design: Web pages adapting to different screen sizes, utilizing media queries, flexbox, and grid layouts.
JAVASCRIPT ESSENTIALS
- JavaScript: A versatile language used for web applications, supporting client- and server-side functionalities.
- Variables: Containers for data in a program (using
var
,let
, andconst
). - Data Types: Primitive (numbers, strings, booleans, undefined, null, symbols, bigint) and non-primitive (objects, arrays, functions).
- DOM (Document Object Model): Represents the structure of web documents; allows dynamic content alteration. Accessing DOM elements is key for manipulation (e.g., using
getElementById
,getElementsByClassName
).
