Introduction
Web development refers to the process of building websites or web applications using a combination of programming languages, technologies, and frameworks. It involves designing, developing, and maintaining web-based software solutions that can be accessed through the internet.
Understanding the web and its architecture:
It is possible to access papers and other web resources on the World Wide Web, also known as the "web," by using URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). The web architecture is composed of several layers of technologies, including the internet, web servers, web browsers, and web applications.
How front-end, back-end, and full-stack development differ:
Back-end development, on the other hand, focuses on the
server-side of web development, which is responsible for storing and managing
data, processing requests, and communicating with other servers. Back-end
developers use programming languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java to build
the server-side logic of a website or application.
Full-stack development involves working on both the
front-end and back-end aspects of web development. Full-stack developers are
proficient in multiple programming languages and technologies, and they can
handle the entire web development process from start to finish.
Introduction to HTTP and its request-response cycle:
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol that
governs the communication between web servers and web clients (browsers). It is
the foundation of data communication on the web and is used to request and
deliver web pages and other resources over the internet.
The HTTP request-response cycle is the process of a client sending a request to a web server and receiving a response in return. The cycle includes the following steps:
The client (browser) contacts the server with an HTTP request.
The request is received by the server, which processes it.
The client receives an HTTP response from the server.
The client receives the response and renders the web page or resource.
During this cycle, the client and server exchange information through HTTP headers, which contain metadata about the request or response, and the message body, which contains the actual data being sent.
