and applications.
• Web Development Frameworks: Libraries and frameworks like
React, Angular, and Django that simplify development tasks.
• Debugging Tools: Software for identifying and fixing issues in
code, such as Chrome DevTools and Firebug.
Importance of Internet
Services and Tools
• Accessibility: Provide users with a vast array of resources
and functionalities available from virtually anywhere.

• Efficiency: Streamline tasks and processes, enhancing


productivity and convenience.

• Connectivity: Facilitate communication, collaboration, and


access to information globally.
Introduction to
client-server
computing
Client-server computing

• Client-Server Computing is a network architecture where


tasks are divided between providers of a resource or
service (servers) and requesters of the service (clients).
This model enables centralized management of resources
and services while distributing processing and interaction
responsibilities.
Client

• Definition: A client is a device or application that


requests services or resources from a server.

• Examples: Web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), email


clients (e.g., Outlook), and mobile apps.

• Function: Initiates requests to servers, processes


responses, and presents data to users.
Server

• Definition: A server is a device or application that provides


resources, services, or data to clients over a network.

• Examples: Web servers (e.g., Apache), database servers (e.g.,


MySQL, PostgreSQL), and file servers.

• Function: Listens for client requests, processes these


requests, and sends back the appropriate responses or data.
• How It Works:
1. Request: The client sends a request to the server over the
network (e.g., HTTP request for a web page).

2. Processing: The server processes the request, retrieves or


computes the required data, and prepares a response.

3. Response: The server sends the response back to the client


(e.g., the HTML content for the web page).
Communication
• Request-Response Model:
• Clients send requests to servers for specific services or data.
• Servers process these requests and send responses back to clients.
• For example, a web browser (client) requests a web page from a web server, which
then sends the HTML content back to the browser.
• Protocols:
• HTTP/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Secure): Used for web communication
between clients and servers.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Used for transferring files between clients and servers.
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): Used for sending emails from clients to
servers.
Types of Servers

• Web Server: Delivers web pages and web applications to clients.


Examples include Apache and Nginx.

• Database Server: Manages and provides access to databases.


Examples include MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

• File Server: Provides file storage and access services to clients.


Examples include NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices.
Benefits of Client-Server
Computing
• Centralized Management: Easier to manage and update
resources or services from a central server rather than
individual clients.
• Scalability: Servers can be upgraded or scaled to handle
increased loads, supporting a growing number of clients.
• Resource Sharing: Multiple clients can share resources like
files, databases, or applications provided by servers.
• Security: Servers can implement security measures (e.g.,
authentication, encryption) to control access to resources.
