Study Notes

Client-Server Communication

  • Communication between a server and a browser involves a request-response cycle.
  • The browser sends a request to the server (e.g., for a webpage).
  • The server processes the request and sends a response back to the browser.
  • The response typically contains the webpage's HTML content.

Web Technologies Fundamentals

  • HTML (HyperText Markup Language): Forms the structure and content of web pages.
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Defines the visual presentation of web pages (colors, fonts, layout).
  • JavaScript: Adds interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages.

HTML Structure and Tags

  • An HTML document is structured with a <html> tag containing <head> and <body> sections.
  • <head> contains metadata about the page (title, character set).
  • <body> contains the visible content of the page.
  • Key HTML tags include <p> (paragraph), <h1> to <h6> (headings), <img> (image), <a> (link), <div> (division for grouping elements), <span> (inline grouping).

CSS Inclusion Methods

  • Inline: Styles are directly applied within HTML elements using the style attribute.
  • Embedded: Styles are placed within a <style> tag within the <head> section of the HTML document.
  • External: Styles are defined in separate .css files linked to the HTML document via a <link> tag.

Advantages/Disadvantages of CSS Inclusion Methods

  • Inline: Easy for simple styles; but not scalable and hard to maintain.
  • Embedded: Better maintainability and organization than inline but applies only to the single page.
  • External: Best for large projects; allows multiple pages to use the same styles, easier maintenance.

Embedding Images in HTML

  • Images are embedded using the <img> tag.
  • The src attribute specifies the image's URL.
  • The alt attribute provides alternative text for screen readers.

CSS Layouts and Flexbox

  • CSS is used to arrange page elements into various layouts.
  • Flexbox is a powerful tool for creating flexible and responsive layouts. It allows for easy alignment and distribution of content across its container.

JavaScript Integration

  • JavaScript enables dynamic behavior.
  • JavaScript functions can be integrated into HTML using <script> tags, reacting to events triggered by HTML elements or user interactions.
