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
styleattribute. -
Embedded: Styles are placed within a
<style>tag within the<head>section of the HTML document. -
External: Styles are defined in separate
.cssfiles 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
srcattribute specifies the image's URL. - The
altattribute 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.
