Intro To Web Development
HTML
Stands for HyperText Markup Language, it’s the standard language used for documents
designed to be displayed in a web browser. It’s the language you use to write the content of
a website.
CSS
Stands for Cascading Style Sheets, it’s the language used to style documents written in a
markup language, such as HTML. If an HTML document defines the content, CSS defines
how that content is portrayed.
Python
Python is a computer programming language used for building websites, data analysis,
automating tasks, etc. It’s very versatile, since it’s not used for any specific problem. It can
create different kinds of programs and is also beginner-friendly, which is what makes it such
a popular programming language.
Algorithm
An algorithm is a set of instructions used to solve a certain problem, step by step.
Data —-> instructions —-> results
Auto-completion
Auto-completion is when a certain application predicts the rest of the word, design… that a
user is writing down/creating.
This is used in search engines, such as Google, but also in code, sketching, etc.
JS
JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to implement complex features on
web pages. It enables you to create dynamically updating content, control multimedia,
animate images, etc.
PHP
Hypertext Preprocessor is an open-source scripting language created towards web-
development. It works on the server-side, rather than the client-side. It can be embedded
into HTML, which makes it easier to add functionality.
Programming
Programming means creating a set of instructions that let a computer know how to complete
a certain task. This can be done using various programming languages, such as Python and
JavaScript.
Live server
Live server is when you make a certain code for a website go ‘live’ and see how the code
translates into a website. Changes to the code will also appear live, which makes it easier to
see whatever you’re doing.
Tag
A tag is a keyword that defines a piece of information. It provides a web browser with
instructions about the web page, like where certain elements need to be displayed for
example.
IDE
An Integrated Development Environment is a software application for building applications. It
typically provides you with a source code editor (a text editor that can assist in writing
software code), a local build automation and a debugger (displays bugs in the code).
