WEB Technology
A network is a collection of interconnected devices (computers, servers, printers, etc.) that can
communicate and share resources such as files, data, and applications. Networks can be
categorized into various types, like LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network),
and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network).
The internet is a global network of interconnected computers and servers that communicate
through standardized protocols (like TCP/IP) to share information and resources. It enables
access to services such as email, websites, and multimedia content worldwide.
Technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge, tools, and techniques to create
solutions that improve processes or solve problems. It encompasses everything from simple tools
and machinery to complex software and advanced computing systems.
Web technology refers to the tools, frameworks, and languages used to develop and maintain
websites and web applications. It includes front-end technologies (like HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript), back-end technologies (like PHP, Python, and databases), and protocols such as
HTTP/HTTPS.
A web page is a single document on the internet that can be viewed using a web browser. It is
typically written in HTML and may include text, images, videos, links, and interactive elements.
6. What is a website?
A website is a collection of related web pages under a single domain name, accessible via the
internet. It provides information, services, or entertainment and may consist of different types of
content, such as text, multimedia, and interactive forms.
A web browser is software that allows users to access and navigate websites and web pages.
Popular web browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
Front end: Refers to the user interface and experience of a website or application. It
includes everything users see and interact with, such as text, images, buttons, and layouts.
Technologies include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Back end: Refers to the server-side logic, database interactions, and application
functionality. It handles data storage, processing, and security. Common back-end
languages include PHP, Python, Java, and databases like MySQL.
PHP: A server-side scripting language used for creating dynamic web pages and
handling server-side tasks.
HTML: (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating the
structure of web pages.
SQL: (Structured Query Language) is used to manage and manipulate relational
databases.
Web hosting is a service that allows individuals or organizations to store their website files on a
server, making them accessible on the internet. Hosting providers offer space, bandwidth, and
technical support for websites.
11. Types of apps:
Native apps: Designed specifically for a particular operating system (e.g., iOS, Android).
Web apps: Accessed via a web browser and do not require installation.
Hybrid apps: Combine elements of native and web apps and can work on multiple
platforms.
Online apps are applications that run on remote servers and are accessed over the internet.
Examples include Google Docs, Zoom, and Microsoft Office 365.
Web apps are applications accessed through a web browser and hosted on web servers. They do
not need to be installed on a user's device. Examples include Gmail, Facebook, and online
banking portals.
LAN (Local Area Network): Covers a small geographic area, like a home or office.
WAN (Wide Area Network): Covers large areas, such as cities or countries.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a city or large campus.
PAN (Personal Area Network): Used for devices within a single person’s workspace.
VPN (Virtual Private Network): Provides a secure connection over the internet.
PHP is used for server-side scripting to develop dynamic and interactive web pages. It can
handle form submissions, interact with databases, manage sessions, and create content
management systems (CMS) like WordPress.
