PROTOCOLS GOVERNING
THE WEB:
Protocols governing the web are a set of rules and standards that enable the
communication and interaction between web servers and web clients (typically
browsers). These protocols ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of the
World Wide Web. Here are some of the key protocols governing the web:

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP):

- HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the web. It allows web
browsers to request resources, such as HTML documents, images, and other
media, from web servers.
- HTTP is a stateless protocol, which means each request/response is
independent, and the server doesn't retain information about previous requests.
PROTOCOLS GOVERNING
THE WEB:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS):
- HTTPS is a secure extension of HTTP that uses encryption to protect data
during transit between the client and server. It uses SSL(Secure Socket Layer)
/TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP):
- FTP is used for transferring files between a client and a server. It's often used
for uploading web content to a web server.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP):
- SMTP is a protocol for sending email messages between email clients and
email servers. It's crucial for the functioning of email services on the web.
PROTOCOLS GOVERNING
THE WEB:
Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Messaging Access Protocol
(IMAP):
- POP and IMAP are protocols used by email clients to retrieve messages from
email servers. IMAP allows users to manage email messages on the server, while
POP typically downloads them to the client.
Domain Name System (DNS):
- DNS is a protocol that translates human-readable domain names (e.g.,
www.example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to locate resources on
the internet.
Websockets:
- Websockets is a protocol that enables two-way communication between a client
(typically a browser) and a server over a single, long-lived connection. This
allows for real-time data transfer, making it useful for chat applications and
PROTOCOLS GOVERNING
THE WEB:
Internet Protocol (IP):
- IP is the fundamental protocol that governs the routing and addressing of data
packets on the internet. It ensures that data packets are correctly routed
between devices on different networks.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):
- TCP is a transport layer protocol that ensures reliable data delivery by
establishing and maintaining a connection between the sender and receiver and
managing the flow of data.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP):
- UDP is another transport layer protocol that provides faster but less reliable
data transmission compared to TCP. It is often used for real-time applications like
video streaming and online gaming.
PROTOCOLS GOVERNING
THE WEB:
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) :
- SOAP is another protocol for web services, often used in enterprise
applications. It defines a strict XML-based message format for exchanging
structured information.

Note: Understanding these web protocols is essential for web designers and
developers to create, maintain, and troubleshoot websites effectively. These
protocols collectively enable the functionality and interactivity of the World Wide
Web, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
INTRODUCTION TO HTML:
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup
language used to create web pages. It is the foundation of web development and
is essential for designing and structuring web content. HTML provides the
structure and elements necessary to define the layout and presentation of a web
page's content.
Markup Language: HTML is a markup language, not a programming
language. It consists of a set of tags and elements that are used to structure and
format content on a web page.
Hypertext: HTML is designed to create hypertext documents, which means
that it allows you to create text and multimedia content that is interconnected
through hyperlinks. Users can click on links to navigate between different web
pages.
Elements and Tags: HTML documents are composed of elements, which are
defined by HTML tags. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets, like <tagname>. For
example, <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, and <p> are common HTML tags.
INTRODUCTION TO HTML:
Document Structure: An HTML document has a specific structure. It typically
begins with the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration, followed by the <html> element,
which contains two main sections: <head> and <body>. The <head> section
includes metadata and links to external resources, while the <body> section
contains the visible content of the web page.
Elements and Content: HTML elements can be used to define headings,
paragraphs, lists, links, images, forms, tables, and more. Each element has a
specific purpose and can contain various types of content, such as text, images,
or other elements.
Attributes: HTML elements can have attributes that provide additional
information about the element. Attributes are specified within the opening tag
and are used to modify an element's behavior or appearance. For example, the
<img> element may have an src attribute to specify the image source.
INTRODUCTION TO HTML:
Semantic HTML: HTML5 introduced a set of semantic elements that provide
meaning to the structure of a web page. These elements, such as <header>,
<nav>, <article>, and <footer>, help search engines and assistive technologies
understand the content better.
Web Page Representation: Web browsers interpret HTML documents and
render them as visual web pages. Browsers follow the structure and formatting
instructions defined in the HTML code to display content to users.
Cross-Browser Compatibility: Developers need to ensure that their HTML
code works consistently across different web browsers. This often involves
testing and adjusting code to account for variations in browser behavior.
Responsive Design: In modern web development, HTML is used in
conjunction with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript to create
responsive and interactive web pages. Responsive design ensures that web
pages adapt to different screen sizes and devices.
INTRODUCTION TO HTML:
Backward Compatibility: HTML is designed to be backward-compatible,
which means that newer versions of HTML (e.g., HTML5) continue to support
markup from earlier versions. This ensures that older web content remains
functional even as new features and enhancements are introduced.
Interactivity: HTML also includes markup for creating interactive elements
such as forms and multimedia content. By using specific tags and attributes,
web developers can mark up forms for user input, embed videos and audio, and
create interactive experiences within web pages.

Note: HTML serves as the backbone of web development, and it's essential for
anyone involved in web page designing or development to have a solid
understanding of its principles and syntax. As web technology evolves, HTML
continues to play a central role in creating engaging and accessible web
experiences.

HTML HYPERLINK
Hyperlinks, often referred to as links, are an essential feature of HTML. They
allow you to connect one web page to another or link to different resources on
the internet, such as images, documents, or other websites. In HTML, hyperlinks
are created using the <a> (anchor) element. a basic explanation of the HTML
<a> element for creating hyperlinks.
Example:
<a href="URL">Link Text</a>
- href: This attribute specifies the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to which the
link points. It can be an absolute URL (e.g., "https://www.example.com") or a
relative URL (e.g., "page.html"). You can also link to email addresses using the
"mailto:" protocol (e.g., "mailto:[email protected]").
- Link Text: This is the visible text or content that users click on to access the
link. It is what is displayed on the web page.

HTML tables are a way to organize and display data in a structured grid format on
a web page. They are made up of rows and columns, where rows are defined using
the <tr> (table row) tag and columns are defined using the <th> (table header) or
<td> (table data) tags. Tables are often used to present tabular data like financial
reports, product listings, or schedules.
Table Structure: Here is the basic structure of an HTML table
<table>
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Data 1</td>

 HTML IFRAME
iframes (Inline Frames) allow you to embed one web page within another web page. This
is often used to display content from another website or source, such as videos, maps, or
widgets, within your own web page. An iframe is an HTML element that creates a
separate "frame" or window within the main web page and loads the content from
another URL. This allows for the integration of external content seamlessly.
iframe Syntax:
<iframe src="URL_of_external_content" width="width_value" height="height_value"
frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"> </iframe>
src: This attribute specifies the URL of the external content you want to embed.
width and height: These attributes specify the width and height of the iframe, typically
in pixels.
frameborder: This attribute sets whether or not to display a border around the iframe (0
for no border, 1 for a border).
scrolling: This attribute controls whether or not scrollbars are displayed (auto, yes, no).

 HTML FORM
HTML forms are a fundamental part of web development. They are used to collect user
input or data from the web page visitors. Forms are used for various purposes, such as
user registration, login, search, data submission and more. Forms enable users to
submit data such as text, numbers, checkboxes, radio buttons and more to a server for
processing. In HTML, forms are created using the <form> element, which encapsulates
various form elements like text fields, buttons, checkboxes and radio buttons.
Basic Structure of an HTML Form:
<form action="server_script.php" method="POST">
<!-- Form elements go here -->
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
 HTML FORM
In above structure:
<form>: It is the container for all the form elements. The action attribute
specifies where the form data should be sent for processing (e.g., a server-side
script). The method attribute specifies how the data is sent (GET or POST).
 <input>: This element is used for various types of input fields, such as text, password, and submit.
The type attribute determines the input type, and the name attribute specifies the name of the input
field (used to identify the data when submitted).

 INTRODUCTION OF CSS
CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a fundamental technology used in
web development to control the presentation and formatting of web pages. It
allows web designers and developers to apply styles and layouts to HTML
documents, making them visually appealing and user-friendly. CSS plays a crucial
role in separating the content (HTML) from its presentation (styling), thereby
enhancing the flexibility and maintainability of web projects.
KEY ASPECTS OF CSS:
Styles and Presentation: CSS is primarily used to define the visual aspects of a
web page, including elements like fonts, colors, spacing, borders, and positioning.
It allows developers to control the look and feel of a website or web application.
Separation of Concerns: One of the core principles of web development is the
separation of concerns, which CSS facilitates. This means that you can define the
content and structure of a web page using HTML and the styling using CSS. This
separation makes it easier to update the design without altering the underlying
content.
 INTRODUCTION OF CSS
Cascading Nature: The "C" in CSS stands for "Cascading." CSS rules can be applied
from different sources, such as inline styles within HTML tags, internal styles within the
HTML document, or external stylesheets. When there are conflicting rules, the browser
applies the most specific and relevant styles, allowing for flexibility in design.
Selectors and Properties: CSS uses selectors to target HTML elements, and
properties to define how those elements should be styled. For example, you can select
all <p> (paragraph) elements and specify properties like font size, color, and margin.
Inheritance: CSS allows styles to be inherited from parent elements to child elements,
reducing the need for redundant code. If you set a font style for the <body> element,
its children (e.g., <p> tags) will inherit that style unless otherwise specified.
Media Queries: CSS supports media queries, which enable responsive web design.
With media queries, you can apply different styles based on factors like screen size,
device orientation, or print media.
External Stylesheets: It's common practice to place CSS rules in external stylesheets
(usually with a .css file extension). These stylesheets can be linked to multiple HTML
documents, making it easier to maintain a consistent design across a website.
 INTRODUCTION OF CSS
basic example of CSS:
/* CSS comment */
selector {
property: value;
}
For Instance:
p{
color: #333;
font-size: 16px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
Note: In this example, the CSS code selects all <p> elements and specifies their
color, font size, and top margin.
 CSS SYNTAX
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation and
layout of web pages. CSS syntax consists of a set of rules and properties that define how
HTML elements should be displayed.
Selectors: Selectors are used to target HTML elements that you want to style. You can
select elements by their tag name, class, ID, or other attributes. For example:
Tag Selector: p selects all <p> elements.
Class Selector: .my-class selects all elements with class="my-class".
ID Selector: #my-id selects the element with id="my-id".
Attribute Selector: [attribute="value"] selects elements with a specific attribute and value.
Declaration Block: After selecting the elements you want to style, you enclose your
styling rules within a declaration block, which is wrapped in curly braces {}. For example:
p{
/* Styling rules go here */
}

Properties: Inside the declaration block, you specify one or more CSS properties. Properties
define what aspect of the selected element you want to style, such as its color, size, or
position. Each property is followed by a colon :. For example:
p{
color: blue;
font-size: 16px;
}

Values: After the colon, you provide a value for the property. Values can be
specified in various units like pixels, ems, percentages, and more. For example:
p{
font-size: 1.2em;
}
 CSS SYNTAX
Declaration Separator: Multiple declarations within the same block are separated by
semicolons ;. For example:
p{
color: blue;
font-size: 16px;
}
Comments: You can add comments in your CSS code to provide explanations or
notes. Comments are enclosed in /* */.
/* This is a comment */
Combined Example: Here's a complete CSS rule:
p{
color: blue;
font-size: 16px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
 EXTERNAL STYLE SHEET USING <
LINK >
An external style sheet is a separate file containing CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
code that you can link to your HTML documents using the <link> element. This
approach helps you maintain a consistent and organized styling for your website by
separating the CSS code from the HTML content.
CREATE AND LINK AN EXTERNAL STYLE SHEET TO AN HTML DOCUMENT:
Create the External CSS File:
Start by creating a new text file with a .css extension (e.g., styles.css). This file will
contain your CSS rules. Here's an example of what your styles.css file might look
like:
/* styles.css */
body {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
 EXTERNAL STYLE SHEET USING <
LINK >
h1 {
color: #333;
}
.container {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Link the External CSS File to HTML:
In your HTML document, inside the <head> section, use the <link> element to
reference the external CSS file. The <link> element should include the following
attributes:
rel: Specifies the relationship between the current document and the linked resource,
which should be "stylesheet" in this case.
href: Specifies the path to the external CSS file.
type: Specifies the type of the linked resource, which is "text/css" for CSS files.
 EXTERNAL STYLE SHEET USING <
LINK >
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
<p>This is a sample HTML page with an external style
sheet.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
 EXTERNAL STYLE SHEET USING <
LINK >
Save and Load the HTML Page: Save both the HTML file and the CSS file in the
same directory or provide the correct path in the href attribute of the <link>
element. When you open the HTML page in a web browser, it will apply the styles
defined in the external CSS file to your HTML content.
By using an external style sheet, you can easily manage and update the styling of
your entire website by making changes in a single CSS file, making it a powerful
tool for maintaining consistent design across your web pages
 MULTIPLE STYLE SHEETS
Multiple style sheets can be used in web development to apply different styles to a
single HTML document. This allows you to separate the presentation (CSS) from
the content (HTML) and apply different styles to the same HTML structure. There
are several ways to include multiple style sheets in an HTML document:
Using the <link> Element: This is the most common method. You can link
external CSS files to your HTML document using the <link> element placed in the
<head> section of your HTML file. For example:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style1.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style2.css">
</head>
This links two external style sheets, style1.css and `style2.css, to your HTML
document. They can contain different styling rules.
 MULTIPLE STYLE SHEETS
Using Multiple <link> Elements: You can include multiple <link> elements,
each pointing to a different CSS file. This is useful when you have many
stylesheets to include.
Using the <style> Element: You can include internal CSS within your HTML
document using the <style> element. For example:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
/* CSS rules for style1 */
</style>
<style type="text/css">
/* CSS rules for style2 */
</style>
</head>
Note:This allows you to define different styles directly within the HTML file.
 MULTIPLE STYLE SHEETS
Using Media Queries: You can apply styles based on media queries to create
responsive designs. In this case, you can have a single stylesheet but include
different styles for different screen sizes or devices. For example:
/* Common styles for all screen sizes */
p{
font-size: 16px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/* Styles for screens with a minimum width of 768px */
p{
font-size: 20px;
}
}
 MULTIPLE STYLE SHEETS / VALUE
LENGTHS AND PERCENTAGES
Using CSS Preprocessors: CSS preprocessors like SASS and LESS allow you to
split your styles into multiple files, which are then compiled into a single CSS file.
This can make your code more modular and maintainable.
Remember that when using multiple stylesheets, the order of inclusion matters.
Stylesheets included later in the document will override styles from those included
earlier if there are conflicting rules. This is known as the cascade in CSS.
Additionally, specificity and importance can affect how styles are applied if there
are conflicts between rules.
Value Lengths:
In CSS, value lengths are used to specify measurements for various properties like
width, height, margin, padding, and more. Common value lengths include:
Pixels (px): A fixed unit of measurement. For example, width: 200px; sets the
width of an element to 200 pixels.
Percentages (%): Relative to the parent element. For example, width: 50%; sets
the width of an element to 50% of its parent's width.
 VALUE LENGTHS AND
PERCENTAGES
Em (em): Relative to the font-size of the current element. For example, font-size:
1.2em; sets the font size 1.2 times the font size of the parent element.
Rem (rem): Relative to the font-size of the root element (usually the <html>
element). It provides a consistent size reference. For example, font-size: 1.2rem;
sets the font size 1.2 times the root font size.
Viewport Units (vw, vh, vmin, vmax): Relative to the viewport size. For
example, width: 50vw; sets the width to 50% of the viewport width.
Percentages in CSS:
Percentages are commonly used in CSS for various properties, especially for
making designs responsive. They represent a relative measurement compared to a
parent container. Some common use cases include:
Setting element dimensions (e.g., width and height) as a percentage of the parent
element's dimensions.
Defining margins and padding as a percentage of the parent element's width.
Creating flexible layouts where the size of elements adjusts based on the
 VALUE LENGTHS AND
PERCENTAGES
For example, to create a responsive design where an element takes up 50% of its
parent's width, you can use the following CSS:
.child {
width: 50%;
}
This way, the child element's width will always be half of its parent's width,
adapting to different screen sizes.
 CSS-SELECTORS
CSS selectors are patterns used to select and target HTML elements in order to
apply styling or perform various operations on them. They are a fundamental part
of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which is the language used for describing the
presentation of web pages. CSS selectors allow you to specify which elements in
your HTML document should be affected by the styles you define.
SOME COMMON CSS SELECTORS:
Element Selector: Selects all instances of a specific HTML element. For example,
p selects all <p> elements.
ID Selector: Selects an element with a specific id attribute. For example, #myId
selects an element with id="myId".
Class Selector: Selects elements with a specific class attribute. For
example, .myClass selects all elements with class="myClass".
Universal Selector: Selects all elements on the page. For example, * selects all
elements.
Descendant Selector: Selects an element that is a descendant of another
element. For example, ul li selects all <li> elements that are inside a <ul>
CSS-SELECTORS
Child Selector: Selects an element that is a direct child of another element. For
example, ul > li selects all <li> elements that are direct children of a <ul>
element.
Adjacent Sibling Selector: Selects an element that is immediately preceded by
another element. For example, h2 + p selects a <p> element that directly follows
an <h2> element.
Attribute Selector: Selects elements with a specific attribute and, optionally, a
specific value. For example, [type="text"] selects all elements with type="text".
Pseudo-class Selector: Selects elements based on their state or position,
like :hover to select elements when they are hovered over, or :nth-child(odd) to
select odd-numbered elements.
Pseudo-element Selector: Selects parts of an element, like ::before and ::after
to style generated content or ::first-line to style the first line of text within an
element.
Here's an example of how you can use a CSS selector to style all paragraphs with
the class "important":
p.important {
CSS-BOX MODEL, FLOATS, CLEAR,
The CSS box model, floats, and the clear property are fundamental concepts in
web design and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) used to control the layout and
positioning of elements on a web page. Let's discuss each of these concepts:
CSS Box Model: The CSS box model is a fundamental concept in web design that
describes how elements on a web page are structured and how they take up
space. Every HTML element is considered a box, and each box consists of the
following components:
Content: The actual content of the element, such as text or images.
Padding: The space between the content and the element's border.
Border: The border that surrounds the padding and content.
Margin: The space outside the border, which separates the element from other
elements on the page.
These components combine to define the overall size and spacing of an element.
You can control the size and spacing of an element by setting properties like
width, height, padding, border, and margin in your CSS.
CSS-BOX MODEL
CSS-BOX MODEL, FLOATS, CLEAR,
Floats: The float property in CSS is used to control the positioning of an element,
typically an image or a block-level element (like a <div>), within its containing
element. When an element is floated, it is taken out of the normal flow of the
page and moved to the left or right as far as possible within its containing
element.
Common values for the float property are:
float: left: The element is floated to the left.
float: right: The element is floated to the right.
float: none (default): The element is not floated, and it appears in the normal
document flow.
Floating elements can be used for creating multi-column layouts, wrapping text
around images, and other complex designs. However, floating elements can also
cause layout issues if not managed properly.
CSS-BOX MODEL, FLOATS, CLEAR,
Clear Property: The clear property is used in conjunction with floated elements
to control their behavior and ensure that subsequent elements are displayed
below the floated elements, rather than beside them. It's often used to clear
floats when you want to create a new "block formatting context."
Common values for the clear property are:
clear: left: No floating elements allowed on the left side.
clear: right: No floating elements allowed on the right side.
clear: both: No floating elements allowed on either side.
clear: none (default): No restrictions on floating elements.
For example, if you have a container with floated elements inside and you want
the next element to be below all the floated elements, you can apply clear: both
to the next element.
CSS-BOX MODEL, FLOATS, CLEAR,
Here's an example of how the CSS box model, floats, and the clear property might
be used in combination:
/* Applying floats to two elements */
.float-left {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
.float-right {
float: right;
width: 50%;
}
/* Clearing floats for the element after floated elements */
.clear {
clear: both;
}
In this example, two elements are floated to the left and right, taking up half the
width each. The .clear element, following these floated elements, has clear: both
to ensure it appears below them.
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTSTRAP
Bootstrap is a popular open-source front-end framework for web development. It
was originally created by Twitter and is now maintained by a community of
developers. Bootstrap provides a set of pre-designed and pre-built components,
such as typography, forms, buttons, navigation bars, and more, that can be used
to create responsive and visually appealing websites and web applications. Here's
an introduction to some key aspects of Bootstrap:

1. Responsive Design: One of the primary features of Bootstrap is its focus on

responsive web design. It allows you to create websites that automatically adapt
to various screen sizes, from desktops to mobile devices. This is achieved through
a responsive grid system that makes it easy to create layouts that adjust based
on the device's screen width.

2. CSS Framework: Bootstrap is primarily a CSS framework. It comes with a set of

CSS files that define the styling of various HTML elements. You can apply these
styles to your web pages by including Bootstrap's CSS files in your project.
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTSTRAP
3. JavaScript Components: In addition to CSS, Bootstrap also provides a collection
of JavaScript components and plugins. These include features like modal dialogs,
tooltips, carousels, and more. These components are designed to be easy to
integrate into your web pages and enhance the user experience.

4. SASS Support: Bootstrap can be customized and extended using SASS

(Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets). SASS is a preprocessor for CSS that allows
you to write more maintainable and organized stylesheets. Bootstrap's SASS files
can be customized to match your project's specific design requirements.

5. Open Source: Bootstrap is open-source, which means it's free to use and has a
large and active community of developers. This community regularly updates and
improves the framework, and you can find a wealth of resources, documentation,
and third-party extensions.
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTSTRAP
6. Easy to Use: Bootstrap is known for its ease of use. Even if you're not a CSS or
front-end expert, you can quickly create professional-looking websites using
Bootstrap's components. It also provides a well-documented set of CSS classes
and HTML structure that you can use as a starting point.
To get started with Bootstrap, you typically include the Bootstrap CSS and
JavaScript files in your HTML document, and then you can begin using its
predefined CSS classes and components to build your web pages. Here's a
simple example of how to include Bootstrap in your HTML:
Example.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Bootstrap Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTSTRAP
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Hello, Bootstrap!</h1>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Click Me</button>
</div>

<script
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"
></script>
</body>
</html>
In the above example, we've included Bootstrap's CSS and JavaScript files from a
Content Delivery Network (CDN) and used Bootstrap's classes for styling a
heading and a button.
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTSTRAP
Note: Bootstrap is an excellent choice for web developers looking to save time
and create responsive, visually appealing web applications with a consistent
design. It's widely used in the industry, making it a valuable skill for web
developers to learn and apply in their projects.
