It explains how to install and create a MySQL database. It also describes how to create and populate tables within a database using phpMyAdmin and how PHP can then be used to read from and write data to those MySQL databases.
HTML5 is an evolution of HTML and XHTML that provides data for webpages rendered by browsers. It is a W3C recommendation becoming a living standard. Learning HTML5 involves following basic rules like properly nesting and closing tags in lowercase and with quotes for attributes. The development process involves editing HTML in a text editor, saving, opening in a browser, further editing and refreshing to view changes, with the finished site uploaded to a server.
This document discusses database queries for a social media application called MySocial. It describes several functions in the database_queries.php file that query the database to retrieve and insert user data. These include functions to get a user's username, add a post for a user, and get all posts for a user. The functions follow an MVC pattern, with the model layer querying the database, controller processing submitted data, and views outputting the data.
This document discusses how database queries are used in a social media application called MySocial to retrieve and store user data. It provides examples of functions in the database_queries.php file that query the database to get a username, add a user post, and get all posts for a user. These functions are called from the controller and views to retrieve and display the necessary data to the user. The database stores tables like users and posts that are queried to integrate user information and content into the web application.
HTML5 is an evolution of HTML and XHTML that provides data to web pages through markup tags. It has become a living standard maintained by the W3C. The document discusses HTML5 and how it works with CSS to provide visual design and data to web pages rendered in browsers. It also outlines some basic rules for using HTML5 tags and the development process of editing HTML files locally and refreshing the browser to view changes before uploading pages to a server.
The document provides an introduction to learning Java, explaining that Java is an open-source, object-oriented programming language that is portable and can run on any machine with a Java Virtual Machine installed, and it discusses some key Java concepts like classes, objects, methods, and inheritance.
This document discusses the key components of web architecture, including web design, development, server administration, protocols, file structure, client-server communication, and server-side programming. Web pages are created using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other files that are stored on a web server and delivered to clients via HTTP requests and responses. On the server, programming languages like PHP can manipulate data from databases and dynamically generate web page content.
XHTML is an evolution of HTML that complies with XML syntax rules, making it stricter and cleaner than HTML. It delivers web content to browsers while CSS provides visual design and XML provides data. To learn XHTML, first learn HTML and then apply XHTML rules like properly nesting tags, closing all tags, using lowercase tags and attribute quotes, and including mandatory header elements. Web development typically involves editing HTML locally, saving and refreshing in a browser, then uploading finished work to a staging or production server.
Web pages are made up of HTML files and other files like images, CSS, and JavaScript. These files are stored on a web server and accessed by users via URLs. When a page is requested, the server retrieves the files and sends them to the client browser, where they are rendered. Dynamic content can be generated on the server using programming languages like PHP that interface with databases. Client-side code like JavaScript runs locally in the browser.
This document summarizes key aspects of system and software development including common roles, the development lifecycle, and common program design models. It discusses the roles of systems analysts and stakeholders, outlines typical phases of analysis, design, implementation, and testing, and describes waterfall and agile development models as well as cowboy coding.
The document discusses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework and how it can be applied to build a social networking website. It describes the model component as the database that stores and retrieves user, post, and friend data. The view component renders this data into webpages. The controller processes user input from forms and interfaces with the model to add or retrieve data from the database. It provides examples of specific PHP files that could be used for each MVC component for a social networking site.
Javascript is a programming language that provides interactivity for web pages and can be embedded in HTML or referenced from HTML like CSS. It is an object-oriented language that uses objects with attributes and methods to build interactive web pages. While it has a similar name, Javascript is not the same as Java and is an easy to use and forgiving language.
JavaScript is a scripting language used to make web pages interactive. It allows embedding scripts directly in HTML and manipulating elements on a web page like changing colors or writing text. JavaScript is object-oriented and uses objects that have attributes and methods. The DOM represents the document as objects that can be manipulated. JavaScript is commonly used to enhance web interfaces through effects like mouseovers and menus. It is also a key part of AJAX which allows asynchronous updating of parts of a web page. JavaScript can collect user input through HTML forms and call functions that process the input. Control structures like if/else statements allow conditionally executing code.
HTML5 is the latest version of the HTML standard evolved from HTML and XHTML by the W3C and WHATWG to provide data and structure on the web. CSS handles visual design while HTML5 handles data. The browser renders the webpage. Learning HTML5 involves following basic rules like properly nesting tags, closing all tags, and using lowercase for tags and quotes for attributes. Web development involves editing HTML in a text editor, saving, and refreshing in a browser to test changes, with the finished site uploaded to a server. Development tools can simplify the process.
The document discusses web application frameworks and the common Model-View-Controller (MVC) structure used by many frameworks. It provides examples of content management systems like Drupal and WordPress that follow the MVC framework. These systems allow users to manage content, users, and other common web application tasks through a database-driven website structure.
