ABSTRACT

Ever since its beginning in the early 1980s, the Web has been evolving and maturing. The Web is a rather complicated arena, and mastering Web development involves in-depth understanding and working experience with all the involved technologies and how to combine them for specific functions and effects. For the vast majority of computer users, getting online means browsing the Web. Web hosts run Web servers, programs ready to receive Hypertext Transfer Protocol requests from Web clients. The Web uses Uniform Resource Locators to identify many kinds of resources available on the Internet. Webpages must be placed in the document space of a Web server running on some host computer before they become available on the Web. The Web server and Web browser use standard content type designations to indicate the media type of each file sent for it to be processed correctly on the receiving end.
