It should be noted that all web technologies, apart from HTML, have some limitations in terms of their scope and compatibility. What is meant by this is that these technologies will only work under a certain set of circumstances. widespread and in common use. Most modern, major Browsers can deal quite happily with them all.
It's basically just a huge system of computersthat are all linked together by network technologies. e-mail and Web pages.To allow users to continue to interact with the page, communications such as data requests going to the server are separated from data coming back to the page (asynchronously). Otherwise, the user would have to routinely wait for the data to come back before they can do anything else on that page, just as a user has to wait for a page to complete the reload. This also increases overall performance of the site, as the sending of requests can complete quicker independent of blocking and queueing required to send data back to the client....
You could, if you really wanted, 'host' your website from your own computer. This would mean though, having your computer turned on 24 hours a day.. every day. In most cases this is not practical, unless you're a very large organization.Most people choose instead to 'rent' some space on someone else's computer. This is what is meant by someone 'hosting' your website. Terms like 'your host', 'hosting package', 'webspace' are all references to the idea of your website files being stored on someone else's computer.
Over the years Web Technologies have continued to develop so that now, virtually any type of audio-visual media can be 'carried' via the Internet.A waytoretrieveinformationWeb 2.0 offers an opportunity to engage consumersA Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). You'll notice most web addresses begin with 'http://' which means 'Hyper Text Transfer Protocol', and end with .HTM or .HTML. (In case you're wondering, the 'HTM' extension is for backward-compatibility with older 'Windows' DOS computers, which had a limit of only 3 letters).It should be noted that even addresses that end with other extensions (PHP, etc) are still essentially 'serving' HTML pages, only via a database.HTML is what your web 'Browser' is designed to interpret, regardless of whom makes the Browser or what computer the Browser is being used on. Unlike other web technologies, HTML is the standard and guarantees your website can be seen by anyone accessing the web.if you start linking all of these HTML pages together,compatible with XML and other Mark-Up languages.

Allowing greater flexibility in web page layouts and formatting.When combined with JavaScript, CSS gives you further options. For example, the ability to hide text or images that are only revealed when a visitor requests to see them.CSS can help as a method for 'serving' the same data in different formats to different media

around database technologies. Just like 'desktop' database applications, this technology enables websites to collect information, store information and recall information.'middleware' or 'application layer' technology used to build the interface that allows interaction and control between the website administrator, the database and website visitors. Middleware technologies include; PHP (Hyper Processor PHP), .Net, Java Server Pages (JSP) and Cold Fusion (CFML).'Social Networking Websites' all relate to the utilisation of these technologies to create more sophisticated websites and better web based services.
A Content Management System is a special category of a Database/Middleware application, designed primarily to allow a 'standard' website to. be easily updated and maintained . Having a CMS included as part of their website's development, has become a standard requirement for many people, as it makes it easier for maintenance tasks to be done in-house and gives them greater overall control.Other advantages of a CMS, is that they make it easier to include interactive functionality on your website. This interactivity could include feedback forms and surveys, event calendars, blogs and forums, member's protected content, etc.
