  Basics of WebDev • Websites are created with a combination of several programming languages, including: – HTML – CSS – Javascript/JQuery/Angular JS – PHP / SQL
• 7.
  Fundamental Web DevLanguages • HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet • Together, HTML and CSS designs the basic layouts, interfaces, and displays of web pages. • Javascript allows for the creation of responsive websites. • While HTML and CSS “paint” and “draw” a webpage, Javascript “animates” them. • Angular JS is a javascript framework that is ued to create mobile web apps.

  More Advanced Languages •PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. • Often, it works together with SQL (Structured Query Language) to access and communicate with databases. • They are useful when creating account systems on websites.

  Categorization of WebLanguages • There exist two types of web languages: client side languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript), and server side languages (PHP). Languages such as C#, C++ and Java are sometimes used as server side languages as well

  Explanation • The Serveris responsible for serving pages. The Client requests pages from the Server, and displays them to the user. In most cases, the client is a web browser. • The User uses the Client in order to surf the web, fill in forms, watch videos online, etc.

  Course Outline • Youdon’t need to learn all those languages in order to create your own website. • If you want to create a basic website like a blog, all you need is HTML and CSS
