| Web Design |
| Designing or developing a web site is known as web design. It is the design or designing of a Web page, Website or Web application. The term generally refers to the graphical side of Web development using images, CSS and XHTML. |
| Web Page |
| A document on the World Wide Web. Every Web page is identified by a unique URL. Typically web pages are classified as static or dynamic. |
| URL |
| Uniform Resource Locator. In short, an Internet Address. More specifically, a standardized naming or addressing system for documents and media accessible over the Internet. For example, the URL http://www.citymax.com indicates the type of document it is (a Hypertext Transfer Protocol document denoted by "http://") and the address of the computer on which the specific web site can be found (www.citymax.com). |
| Static Web Page |
| Static pages don’t change content and layout with every request unless a human web master manually updates the page. |
| Dynamic Web Page
|
| Dynamic Pages adapt their content and/or appearance depending on end-user’s input/interaction or changes in the computing environment (user, time, database modifications, etc.) Content can be changed on the client side (end-user's computer) by using client-side scripting languages (JavaScript, JScript, Actionscript, etc.) to alter DOM elements (DHTML). Dynamic content is often compiled on the server utilizing server-side scripting languages (Coldfusion, ASP, JSP, Perl, PHP, Python, etc.). Both approaches are usually used in complex applications. |
| IP (Internet Protocol) |
|
An Internet Protocol (IP) is the rules and encoding specifications for sending data. It also determines whether the network uses a peer-to-peer or client/server architecture. The current version of IP is IPv4. A new version, called IPv6 is under development. |
| IP Address |
|
An IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information across the Internet. An IP address has two parts: an identifier of a particular network on the Internet and an identifier of the particular device (which can be a server or a workstation) within that network. |
| DNS (Domain Name System) |
|
DNS is a software program that translates Internet URLs to IP addresses by accessing a database maintained on a collection of Internet servers. Every Web site has its own IP address on the Internet. But IP addresses are specified in a numeric format. The DNS program works in the background to facilitate surfing the Web with meaningful alpha character sequences, rather than numeric addresses. So, for example, a DNS server converts a name like "mywebsite.com" to an IP address 107.22.55.26. |
| Host |
| The company or organization that maintains the computer on which a Web site is stored. If you use a host service, also called local internet service provider, it is common that your Web site address will have the name of your server within the address itself. |
| HTTP |
| Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The standard for governing how Web browsers and Web servers communicate. |
| Hyperlink |
| A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another. |
| UPLOAD |
| To transfer programs or data over a digital communications link from a smaller or peripheral "client" system to a larger or central "host" one. |
