What is Web design and
development
• A broad term for the work involved in designing and developing a web site for
the internet (world Wide web) or an intranet (a private network).
• Web design and development is the art of using various web development methodologies
and languages for the purpose of creating an appealing and operational website.
Internet
• A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication
facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication
protocols.
• A connection of computers using the Internet Protocol (IP).
Internet
• Subnetworks can stand on their own.
• Computers can dynamically join and leave the network.
• Built on open standards; anyone can create a new internet device.
• Lack of centralized control (mostly).
• Everyone can use it with simple, commonly available software.
World wide web
• An information system on the internet which allows documents to be connected to other
documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving
from one document to another.
Internet Vs. World wide web
• Many people use the terms interchangeably but they are in fact very different.
• The internet is a vast international network, made up of computers and physical
connections, which allow the various subnetworks to communicate, whereas the world
wide web is the information system, a collection of softwares that spans the internet and
enables the interlinking of documents and resources.
Uniform resource allocator (url)
• An identifier for the location of a document on a web site
• A basic url:http://www.Aw-bc.Com/info/regesstepp/index.Html
protocol host path
• Upon entering this URL into the browser, it would:
• Ask the DNS server for the IP address of www.Aw-bc.Com
• Connect to that IP address at port 80
• Ask the server to GET /info/regesstepp/index.Html
• Display the resulting page on the screen
Web languages/technologies
• HyperText Markup Language (HTML): used for writing web pages
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): stylistic info for web pages
• PHP hypertext processor (PHP): dynamically create pages on a web server
• Javascript: interactive and programmable web pages
• Asynchronous javascript and XML (ajax): accessing data for web applications
• Extensible Markup Language (XML): metalanguage for organizing data
• Structured Query Language (SQL): interaction with databases
HTML
• Hypertext markup language, a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve font,
color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on world wide web pages.
• HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for
the appearance of the document.
HTML
• Describes the content and structure of information on a web page (not the same as the
presentation/appearance on screen).
• Surrounds text content with opening and closing tags.
• Each tag’s name is called an element.
• Syntax: <element>content</element>
• Example: <p>this is a paragraph</p>
HTML basic structure
<!Doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>my first heading</h1>

<p>my first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
