Web

Web (also known as World Wide Web) is an information retrieval system that gives users access to the Internet. The web consists of millions of documents, photographs, videos and other digital resources that are connected through Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) which allows users to quickly navigate the web.

Web technologies have greatly impacted society by allowing people to communicate, share information, and access resources from anywhere around the world. Websites can also be used for online shopping, streaming media, conducting research, and more.

Web development is the process of creating webpages and websites, while web designers are responsible for the look, feel and functionality of a website. Web developers use languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and backend languages such as PHP, Ruby, and Python to create websites.

Websites often store information in databases that are managed by server-side web programming languages such as ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, and Node.js. Websites are secured with technologies like HTTPS, so that only authorized users can access the contents.

The security of websites is also a major factor for web developers. Websites are vulnerable to data breaches, hacking, malware, and other security threats, so it is important for developers to use secure coding practices and ensure that their websites are up to date with the latest security measures.

In addition to web development, other related topics include web hosting and domain registration, search engine optimization (SEO), web analytics, and content management systems (CMS).

The web has revolutionized the way people access information and communicate, and it continues to be an important part of our lives.
