Things to know if you are a web developer or want to be

By
Following are some of the basic points to know:
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW TO BECOME A .NET WEB DEVELOPER?
           > HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language).

          > Client Side Scripting language like JavaScript or VBScript or library like jQuery.

          > Programming languages like C#,VB(Visual Basic),C++.

          > Database query language like SQL(Structure Query Language),Oracle etc.

          > CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to make web pages look interactive.

WHAT IS A WEB SERVER
> A web server is  a program which serves web pages to the web users.
> The web user uses the application called 'Browser' (e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini etc.) to view the served web pages.
> The web server can be either a program or a system.
> The system in which a web server runs is also called a 'web server'.
> Examples of web server are IIS (Internet Information Server), Apache etc.

WHERE ACTUALLY A WEB SERVER IS LOCATED?
> A web server may be local or remote.
> We need not to know where it is located. It can be located in a city or in any country.
> If we want to use a website then as a user we need not know where its web server is located. We just need to type the “URL” of that website.

HOW MANY WEB SERVERS ARE NEEDED TO HOST A WEB SITE?
> At least one web server is needed to host a website.
> But in case a website has millions of users viewing the web pages of that website everyday like Google, Yahoo, Amazon etc. then handling the millions of users’ requests by a single web server is not possible. For this reason a website need to be hosted by multiple web servers in different locations.

HOW MANY WEB SITE CAN BE HOSTED ON A WEB SERVER?
> A web server can host multiple small size web sites.
> Web server that hosts multiple web sites is called shared web server.
> But if a website has a huge amount of data to be processed then we need one or many web servers to host that web site.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY DYNAMIC WEB PAGES AND STATIC WEB PAGES?
> Static web page displays the same information or content or data for all the users.
> Static web pages do not have to be plain text i.e. they can have information in the form of multimedia, videos, animation etc.
> We can use HTML to develop static web page of a website.
> Whenever users visit a static web page, he/she will be greeted with the same information until it is being altered.
> But in case of dynamic web pages, they are capable of producing different information for different users / visitors from the same source code.
> In certain cases, they produce the information on the basis of the input provided by the users.
> Dynamic pages are developed using the languages/technologies like ASP.NET, PHP, and JavaScript etc.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEBSITE AND WEB APPLICATION?
         > A website is a collection of web pages that provides the static information to all its users or visitors.
     > A web application is a collection of web pages that provides the interactive information to its users or visitors.
That is they require some sort of user input to process the web page and the web page is displayed as per the user’s input.
       > In other words, we can say a web site contains static web pages where as a web application contains dynamic web pages.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MULTILINGUAL WEBSITE?
> A website that presents its content in more than one language is called a multilingual website.
> A multilingual website contains the copies of its content in multiple languages.

That's it....
