Web Development Overview

Web development involves building websites and web applications using different technologies. Key technologies include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python frameworks such as Flask and Django.

1. HTML (HyperText Markup Language)

Defines webpage structure with elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms.

Basic HTML Structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Welcome to My Website</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

<a href="https://www.google.com">Click here to visit Google</a>

</body>

</html>

Common HTML Tags:

<h1> to <h6> → Headings

<p> → Paragraph

<a href="URL"> → Link

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description"> → Image

<ul> and <li> → Unordered List

<table> → Table

<form> → User input forms

2. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Used to style HTML elements for better visual representation.

Basic CSS Syntax:

body {

background-color: lightblue;

font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

}

h1 {

color: darkblue;

text-align: center;

}

p {

font-size: 18px;

color: gray;

}

Applying CSS:

1. Inline CSS

2. Internal CSS

3. External CSS

3. JavaScript (JS) – For Interactivity

Enables dynamic content and interactivity on web pages.

Basic JavaScript Example:

<button onclick="sayHello()">Click Me</button>

function sayHello() {

alert("Hello, world!");

}

</script>

Common Uses:

DOM manipulation

Form validation

Animations

AJAX calls

4. Python for Web Development

Ideal for backend development; popular frameworks include Flask and Django.

Flask Example:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')

def home():

return "Hello, World!"

if __name__ == '__main__':

app.run(debug=True)

Django Setup:

1. Install Django

2. Create a project

3. Run the server

5. Full-Stack Web Development

Frontend: HTML + CSS + JavaScript

Backend: Python (Flask/Django)

Databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL

APIs: Connect frontend and backend

6. Example: Simple Webpage with Flask

1. Create Flask App (app.py):

from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')

def home():

return render_template('index.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':

app.run(debug=True)

2. HTML Template (templates/index.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Welcome to My Flask Website</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Welcome to My Flask Website</h1>

</body>

</html>

7. Additional Tools

Frameworks: Bootstrap, jQuery

Version Control: Git/GitHub

APIs: Handling external services

Security: HTTPS for data encryption
