Thoughts of… Getting Started: Basic Technologies Behind the Web
When I read Getting Started: Basic Technologies Behind The Web I was pretty surprised by the whole process of choosing when wanting to make your own website.
The process includes things like
- Choosing a server
- technological requirements
- content
- etc..
The basic outline of the reading is steps on how to decide or make your website.
Getting Started
Steps..
- Figuring out what a website is and if you actually need one
- What genre and what features should be including in your page (text,images, multimedia)
- Database or XML
- What type of server should you use (commercial,ISP)
- Finally naming your site and presenting it to the world
Thoughts
I really thought this reading was really informative to a person who has no idea about websites and technology. It takes the person step by step into the decision making process and makes it seem a lot easier. It also informed a bit about all the possible decisions you could choose.
Quick quote I really liked! You can find it here.
“Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, the Google page came into existence only when a user wanted to view it, and it vanished once the viewer moved on. Google search results, thus, lack the reassuringly fixed quality of cards in an old-fashioned library catalog.”
When I read the above quote I thought it was very interesting because I have never thought of it that way or even had known that Google works like that.
