Week 1 to 4 DMT

Well when I commenced this subject four weeks ago it was explained in the first lecture that I would understand website building, why you built it and how you built it.
In the first week the lecture covered Fundamental Languages for Website Building, Html the ‘mark up’ language, CSS and Databases oh... and... Blogging.........
 Also great referencing areas like ‘World Wide Web Consortium’ with the world standards and world recommendations for website making.
Then for me I need to get the web developer toolbar and ‘Firefox’ 'FileZilla' 'Notepad++' 'Web Developer' and set up a web site to upload my work on to it......And watch the vido
Week two Html and CSS note....saving text files, save as ‘filename.html’ class exersize... when working on the website keep both the text editor and the webpage open... check your progress, save the ‘text editor’ and then in the webpage ‘reload’ so to see any changes you have made. Write your html as a ‘screen reader’ so it can be easily read aloud....... ‘Notepad++’ automatically highlights the end tags. Google: ‘CSS Zen Garden’ show what CSS can do..
XMl stands for the extensible mark-up language for writing languages a meta-language. In hHTML you always have a starting tag and an ending tag   for example; <p> is a tag for commencing the constructing of a paragraph and to end the paragraph use <p/> Also, <head> for a heading, <strong> for making bold text, <img src= <- stands for image source and <br /> is a line break. HTML5 is a simplified version of the predecessors, I think I like the simplified version. And so much more............ including some of the History of html and xhtml....and the inventor of the web Tim Berners-Lee.
 Week three and the lecture was about drawing 'network' diagrams as they would be required in the final system plan for my assessments.  Also the language they use in conversation is  ‘protocol’. a set of rules for communication, the Internet has a protocol address which is a string of numbers... AND...' Ports' are connected to the servers database.
The 'internet' is a global network connected by TCP/IP. when the messages are sent they are broken into ‘packets’ they are then numbered, addressed and transmitted. Domain name system, are some examples ‘.com .au .edu’ Watch the video for week four.
Week four the lecture covered 'Language' 'Framework' 'CMS' lots more has been covered this is just a small part... and I was able to upload my Micro and Macro on the web page... such an achievement for me  
By week four complete a Macro and Micro Analysis Assessment 1 about what I have learn about the technologies of the web.
