What is HTML?



HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language. It was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. It is mainly used to create electronic documents which can be displayed on the World Wide Web. An HTML document can consist of texts, images, videos, links etc. Generally, each HTML page contains a series of links to other pages called hyperlinks. Hypertext means a text which is not normal. Few say that due to the feature of linking other pages with a text in HTML it is called hypertext language. Every web page we see on the Internet is written using one version of HTML code or another.


HTML is mainly used to ensure the proper formatting of text and images so that any internet browser can display them as they are meant to look. Without the HTML no browser would know how to display the elements of a web page. HTML also constructs the basic structure of a web page, on which Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be applied to polish the look and feel. We can say that HTML is the skeleton of a web page and CSS is the skin. To create your first website using HTML and CSS refer to XENMAG, the bestweb design company in India.


An HTML file can have either .htm extension or .html extension. Older versions of Windows Operating Systems only allowed three-letter file extensions, so they used .htm instead of .html. Both file extensions have the same meaning but sticking to using one kind of extension is recommended as it may cause an issue for a few servers to understand. HTML5 is the latest version of HTML from HTML4. It uses the same basic rules as HTML4, but adds some new tags and attributes which allow for better semantics and for dynamic elements that are activated using JavaScript.

What is a web database?

Image
A Web database is a database application for managing and accessing through the Internet. Technicians, in this case, database administrators can manage this collection of data to modify or to present results. Any database can be used for both professional and personal use. It is generally hosted on servers as it requires a particular environment to run on. The entire dynamic (we can say run time also) information of a website or a web application is stored in a database. Starting from login information, payment information to blogs everything is stored inside a database. That is why keeping a database safe and secure is the most important job in the website security business. Also accessing any database directly through a web browser without any communicator is not possible for that reason.

What is AJAX?

Image
Asynchronous Javascript and XML or AJAX is not a programming language. It is a technique for web applications to send and receive data from a server asynchronously. In simple word, using AJAX means getting data from a server without reloading a web page or without impacting the other contents of the page. AJAX uses XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with the server, JavaScript/DOM to make the requests and XML as a format to transfer data. The term AJAX was floored in 2005 but the development had been underway for several years. Ajax is open source and thus accessible. That is why it cannot be credited to just one organization or individual for the technical growth of AJAX. Development of asynchronous technologies began around 1996. In the late 90s, Microsoft used a forerunner to AJAX. Google, meanwhile, used asynchronous technologies heavily in applications like Google Maps in the first decade of the 21st century. AJAX came into the consideration of mass developers back i

Keeping up with e-commerce

Image
In the modern era of technology and internet, even age-old traditions of buying things have taken the shape of modernity. Earlier what we meant by buying goods and services were standing in long queues, selecting from a limited variety of items, debating with the shopkeeper to reduce the price and what not. But with the advent of the internet and advancements in the commercial sector were made, leading to what we know today as e-commerce. E-commerce is basically the buying and selling of goods services and products using the internet, and making payment transactions to execute the buying. This can be done via various apps or websites who attach themselves to popular and trusted banks and via that application or software the transactions are made for the products which are to be bought. The selection of the products has become unlimited in nature. If you are planning to launch your own e-commerce store feel free to contact XENMAG, the best web development company in India .
