You use it every day, for banking, researching, shopping, and social media, but do you really know how the web works? In this course, author James Williamson introduces the technology that makes the web run, the terminology involved, and how it all comes together to power the websites we know and love. He covers the alphabet soup of technologies involved (HTML, CSS, URL, DNS, HTTP, and IPv6), and explains what separates the front end (what we see) from the back end (what we don’t) on the web. This course is your “plain English” guide to the world of domains, databases, servers, and the technology that makes the web work.
Topics include:
Working with web clients and servers
Exploring HTTP
How browsers work
Structuring HTML
Controlling presentation with CSS
Scripting with JavaScript
Dealing with data
Working with a content management system (like WordPress)
