1.BASICS OF INTERNET:
The basics of the internet encompass a broad range of concepts and technologies that enable communication and data exchange across the globe. Below are some important topics:
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
IP Addresses
Domain Name System (DNS)
Web Servers
Web Browsers
HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
2. Front-End Development:
Front-end development is the process of creating the visual and interactive aspects of websites and web applications that users interact with directly.
Front-end developers are responsible for designing and implementing the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a website or web application. All that we see and interacting in the web page comes under front-end development. For example, Buttons, designs and content structuring.
Below are the Key components in Front-End web development:
HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
JavaScript
3. Back-End Development:
Backend web development is the server-side of web development. Backend developers focus on building and maintaining the server-side components of web applications, including handling requests from clients, processing data, and generating dynamic content.This involves implementing the logic, functionality, and database interactions that power the front-end of a website or web application.
Below are the Key components in Back-End web development:
Server-Side Programming Languages - Node.js, Python, Ruby and PHP etc.
Web Frameworks - Express.js, Django Ruby on Rails etc.
Database Management Systems (DBMS) - MySQL, MangoDB and Oracle [Depending on requirement developers use SQL or NoSQL Databases]
4. DataBases:
Databases are organized collections of structured data, typically stored electronically in computer systems. They are designed to efficiently manage, store, retrieve, and manipulate data according to specific requirements and applications. Databases play a crucial role in various software applications, ranging from simple websites to complex enterprise systems.
Types of Databases:
1.Relational databases
2.NoSQL databases
3.NewSQL databases
4.Graph databases
5. APIs & Caching
Application Programming Interface is a set of rules, protocols, and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs define how different software components should interact, making it easier for developers to integrate various systems and functionalities into their own applications.
Types of APIs:
Web APIs
RESTful APIs
SOAP APIs
GraphQL APIs
6. Practise:
At this point, you know crucial elements used for web development. The fun part begins from now on. Set goals, make projects and practise everyday. Most importantly, make it funny and enjoyable.
All the Best.
