Web development involves building, creating, and maintaining websites. It includes aspects such as web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management. While web designers focus on designing interfaces using HTML and CSS, web developers may also write scripts using languages like PHP and ASP as well as help maintain databases for dynamic sites. HTML is the language used to describe web page structure and include headings, text, tables, lists, photos etc. CSS is used to describe how HTML elements are displayed and allows adapting presentation for different devices. JavaScript allows dynamic interactivity on websites, and PHP is a programming language often used for web development along with databases. WordPress is a popular open-source content management system built using PHP and MySQL that allows installing
2. WEB DEVELOPMENT
Web development refers to building, creating, and an
maintaining websites. It includes aspects such as web
design, web publishing, web programming, and database
management.
While the terms “web developer” and “web designer” are
often used synonymously, they do not mean the same
thing. Technically, a web designer only designs website
interfaces using HTML and CSS. A web developer may
be involved in designing a website, but may also write
web scripts in languages such as PHP and ASP.
Additionally, a web developer may help maintain and
update a database used by a dynamic website.
3. HTML
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of
markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for
display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup
tells the Web browser how to display a Web page’s
words and images for the user. Each individual markup
code is referred to as an element (but many people also
refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that
indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it
is to end.
HTML is the language for describing the structure of
Web pages
Publish online documents with headings, text, tables,
lists, photos, etc.
4. Retrieve online information via hypertext links, at the
click of a button.
Design forms for conducting transactions with remote
services, for use in searching for information, making
reservations, ordering products, etc.
Include spread-sheets, video clips, sound clips, and other
applications directly in their documents.
5. CSS
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language
used for describing the presentation of a document written
in a markup language. CSS describes how HTML elements
are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media CSS
saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple
web pages all at once
CSS is the language for describing the presentation of Web
pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. It allows one to
adapt the presentation to different types of devices, such as
large screens, small screens, or printers. CSS is independent
of HTML and can be used with any XML-based markup
language. The separation of HTML from CSS makes it
easier to maintain sites, share style sheets across pages, and
tailor pages to different environments. This is referred to as
the separavetion of structure (or: content) from
presentation.
6. JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript (“JS” for short) is a full-fledged dynamic
programming language that, when applied to an HTML
document, can provide dynamic interactivity on
websites. It was invented by Brendan Eich, co-founder of
the Mozilla project, the Mozilla Foundation, and the
Mozilla Corporation.
You can do pretty much anything with JavaScript. You’ll
start small with simple features such as carousels, image
galleries, fluctuating layouts, and responses to button
clicks. Eventually as you get more experienced with the
language, you’ll be able to create games, animated 2D
and 3D graphics, full blown database-driven apps, and
more
7. PHP
The Eclipse PHP Development Tools project (PDT) is the #1
open source PHP Integrated Development Environment
(IDE). It has rapidly grown to be one of the most highly
downloaded Eclipse projects. PDT provides an entry level
IDE for with the basic code editing capabilities you need to

8. WORD PRESS
Word Press is a free and open-source content
management system (CMS) based on PHP and My SQL.
Word Press is installed on a web server, which either is
part of an Internet hosting service or is a network host
itself; the first case may be on a service like
WordPress.com, for example, and the second case is a
computer running the software package WordPress.org.
An example of the second case is a local computer
configured to act as its own web server hosting Word
