We are living in Internet Age. So without Internet , we can not imagine our day to day life. Everyday we are checking our emails , reading favorite newspapers, communicating with our friends using social networking , etc … These things are created by Web Technologies called Web Pages and displayed by using Web Browsers [ Firefox , Chrome , IE , Safari ] . These technologies are called client/server technologies . Web Browsers [Which is installed in your computer] are clients and Server could be apache or IIS.
Apache is the popular web server used by most of web technologies. In order to get everything work properly in web technologies we need the following
- A Programming Language – For Creating Web Pages [ PHP , HTML, JSP]
- A Server – For Sending web pages to Client based on request. [Apache , Tomcat , Glasfish]
- A Database [Optional] – For Storing huge amount of information [ MySQL , PostgreSQL]
Before developing these web technologies , we need to install above mentioned softwares in our operating system. Installing and configuring Apache , MySQL , PHP are somewhat difficult for beginner.
