Web Systems And Design

Short Question and Anwsers:

WWW:

The World Wide Web (WWW) is combination of all resources and users on the Internet that are
using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Web Pages:

A web page or webpage is a document commonly written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
that is accessible through the Internet or other networks using an Internet browser. A web page
is accessed by entering a URL address and may contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks to other
web pages and files.

Web Sites:

The definition of a website is a page or collection of pages on the World Wide Web that contains
specific information which was all provided by one person or entity and traces back to a
common Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Facebook and MySpace are examples of websites.

Web Applications:

A web application is a computer program that utilizes web browsers and web technology to
perform tasks over the Internet.

TCP/IP:

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is a set of networking
protocols that allows two or more computers to communicate. The Defense Data Network, part
of the Department of Defense, developed TCP/IP, and it has been widely adopted as a
networking standard.

TCP/IP Application Services:

Web Servers:

A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that
form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers'
HTTP clients. Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web servers as well.

Basic Operations:
Advanced Mechanism for Dynamic Content Delivery:

Virtual Hosting:

Virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each
name) on a single server (or pool of servers). This allows one server to share its resources, such
as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same host
name.

Chunked Transfers:

Chunked transfer encoding is a streaming data transfer mechanism available in version 1.1 of the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into
a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of
one another. No knowledge of the data stream outside the currently-being-processed chunk is
necessary for both the sender and the receiver at any given time.

Caching Support:

Caching is the term for storing reusable responses in order to make subsequent requests faster.
There are many different types of caching available, each of which has its own characteristics.
Application caches and memory caches are both popular for their ability to speed up certain
responses.

Extensibility:

Extensibility is a software engineering and systems design principle that provides for future
growth. Extensibility is a measure of the ability to extend a system and the level of effort
required to implement the extension.

HTTP Protocol:

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed,


collaborative, hypermedia information systems. ... Basically, HTTP is a TCP/IP based
communication protocol, that is used to deliver data (HTML files, image files, query results, etc.)
on the World Wide Web.

SGML:

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a standard for how to specify a document
markup language or tag set. Such a specification is itself a document type definition (DTD). SGML
is not in itself a document language, but a description of how to specify one. It is metadata.

HTML:

HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of tags and
attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD>(enter here
what document is about)<BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like
to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

CSS:

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on
screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple
web pages all at once.

XML:

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. XML is a markup language much like HTML. XML
was designed to store and transport data. XML was designed to be self-descriptive. XML is a W3C
Recommendation.

Core XML:

XHTML:

XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language.XHTML is almost identical to


HTML.XHTML is stricter than HTML. XHTML is HTML defined as an XML application. XHTML is
supported by all major browsers

HTML 5:

Hypertext Markup Language revision 5 (HTML5) is markup language for the structure and
presentation of World Wide Web contents. HTML5 supports the traditional HTML and XHTML-
style syntax and other new features in its markup, New APIs, XHTML and error handling.

XHTM MP:

XHTML Mobile Profile (XHTML MP) is a hypertextual computer language standard designed
specifically for mobile phones and other resource-constrained devices.

SOAP:

SOAP. Stands for "Simple Object Access Protocol," and can do more than just get your hands
clean. SOAP is a method of transferring messages, or small amounts of information, over the
Internet. SOAP messages are formatted in XML and are typically sent using HTTP (hypertext
transfer protocol).

REST:

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architectural style that defines a set of
constraints to be used for creating Web services. Web services that conform to the REST
architectural style, called RESTful Web services (RWS), provide interoperability between
computer systems on the Internet.

WML:

WML (Wireless Markup Language), formerly called HDML (Handheld Devices Markup
Languages), is a language that allows the text portions of Web pages to be presented on cellular
telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) via wireless access.

XSL:

XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), formerly called Extensible Style Language, is a language for
creating a style sheet that describes how data sent over the Web using the Extensible Markup
Language (XML) is to be presented to the user. ... XSL is developed under the auspices of the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

OPERATIONS:

Web operations (WebOps) is a domain of expertise within IT systems management that involves
the deployment, operation, maintenance, tuning, and repair of web-based applications and
systems.

Proceesing HTTP Requests:

An HTTP request starts when an HTTP client, such as a web browser, sends a message to a web
server.

Processing HTTP Responses:

An HTTP response is made by a server to a client. The aim of the response is to provide the client
with the resource it requested, or inform the client that the action it requested has been carried
out; or else to inform the client that an error occurred in processing its request.

Cookie Co-ordination:

A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember
something about you at a later time. (More technically, it is information for future use that is
stored by the server on the client side of a client/server communication.)

Privacy and P3P:

P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) is a protocol that specifies a way to determine if a Web
site's security policies meet a user's privacy requirements. P3P includes a machine-readable
vocabulary and syntax that can be used to describe Web site security policies and consumers'
self-identified privacy preferences.
Complex HTTP Interactions:

Complex systems are systems whose behavior is intrinsically difficult to model due to the
dependencies, competitions, relationships, or other types of interactions between their parts or
between a given system and its environment.

Dynamic Content Delivery:

Dynamic content in the context of HTML and the World Wide Web refers to website content that
constantly or regularly changes based on user interactions, timing and other parameters that
determine what content is delivered to the user.

Advance Functionalities:

Server Configurations:

Server network configuration tasks include enabling protocols, modifying the port or pipe used
by a protocol, configuring encryption, configuring the SQL Server Browser service, exposing or
hiding the SQL Server Database Engine on the network, and registering the Server Principal
Name.

Server Security:

Web server security is the protection of information assets that can be accessed from a Web
server. Web server security is important for any organization that has a physical or virtual Web
server connected to the Internet.

JavaScript:

JavaScript is a programming language commonly used in web development. It was originally


developed by Netscape as a means to add dynamic and interactive elements to websites. While
JavaScript is influenced by Java, the syntax is more similar to C and is based on ECMAScript, a
scripting language developed by Sun Microsystems.

DHTML:

Dynamic HyerText Markup Language (DHTML) is a combination of Web development


technologies used to create dynamically changing websites. Web pages may include animation,
dynamic menus and text effects. The technologies used include a combination of HTML,
JavaScript or VB Script, CSS and the document object model (DOM).

AJAX:

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a method of building interactive applications for the
Web that process user requests immediately. Ajax combines several programming tools including
JavaScript, dynamic HTML (DHTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), cascading style sheets
(CSS), the Document Object Model (DOM), and the Microsoft object, XMLHttpRequest.
Approaches To Web Application Development:

Discovery & Planning.

Design & UI Coding.

Search Technologies:

Search Technologies is a privately held IT services company whose main business involves search
engines, big data, consulting and implementation services. ... Search Technologies provides a
wide range of services from experts-for-hire to managed services.

Search Engine Optimization:

Search engine optimization is a methodology of strategies, techniques and tactics used to


increase the amount of visitors to a website by obtaining a high-ranking placement in the search
results page of a search engine (SERP) — including Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines
