Web Technologies
Web development technologies refer to the multiple of programming languages and tools that are used to
produce dynamic and fully-featured websites and applications.

Web technology refers to the different tools and techniques used to communicate between different
devices over the Internet. A web browser is used to access the website. A web browser can be defined
as a program that displays text, data, images, animations, and videos on the Internet.

Web Browser: The web browser is an application software to explore www (World Wide Web). It
provides an interface between the server and the client and requests to the server for web documents
and services.
Web Server: Web server is a program which processes the network requests of the users and serves
them with files that create web pages. This exchange takes place using Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP).
Web Pages: A webpage is a digital document that is linked to the World Wide Web and viewable by
anyone connected to the internet has a web browser.
Web Development: Web development refers to the building, creating, and maintaining of websites. It
includes aspects such as web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management. It
is the creation of an application that works over the internet i.e. websites.
Internet-Basic, Internet Protocols(HTTP,FTP,IP)
World Wide Web (WWW).
Internet Protocols are a set of rules that governs the communication and exchange of data over
the internet. Both the sender and receiver should follow the same protocols in order to
communicate the data.
TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol): These are a set of standard
rules that allows different types of computers to communicate with each other. The IP protocol
ensures that each computer that is connected to the Internet is having a specific serial number
called the IP address. TCP specifies how data is exchanged over the internet and how it should
be broken into IP packets. It also makes sure that the packets have the information about the
source of the message data, the destination of the message data, the sequence in which the
message data should be re-assembled, and checks if the message has been sent correctly to
the specific destination.

Protocol Function Benefits

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

Enables the hyperlink mechanism by providing a protocol for requesting and returning
Web Resources
Fast but unreliable; does not check to confirm successful delivery of resources

(FTP) File Transfer Protocol

Transfer files from one platform to another
Slower than HTTP but reliable; re-transmits files if they do not arrive as sent
