Hey there! In this article, I will briefly explain what Web Technology is all about.
WHAT IS WEB TECHNOLOGY?
Web technology is simply referred to as the means by which computers communicate with each other. It involves the use of HTML and CSS alongside graphics and scripting.
HOW DOES WEB TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Web browers like Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc... work by connecting to the internet through a MODEM or an Internet Service Provider ISP, to a remote computer or web server to get a particular document or page. When we make a search on a web browser, it fetches the web page of what we are searching for from the server by a request. A request is a standard HTTP containing a page address. A page address is used to locate a page from the web server and it looks typically like this http://www.someone.com/index.html
Web pages are files usually stored on computers called Web servers.
WHAT IS THE NEED OF WEB TECHNOLOGY?
Web technology is very essential as it enables different computers communicate with one another. Resources can also be shared to build an effective computer networking system. Also, Web technologies allows us to carry out various tasks like:
- Downloading of information from the internet
