Web History

I'm not gonna lie. I hardly know what went on this week. Really. It's not like I'm interested in learning when the internet began. The whole html and php thing was pretty interesting, though.

So apparantly I have to explain it like someone who has no idea what I'm talking about was actually reading this. In a nutshell, html makes a static web page. Nothing ever changes on it unless you do so manually. With php, things on the web page can change constantly, and most often do. For example, with one program, you can see how many seconds have passed since January 1, 1970. (Said to be the beginning of the internet)

Earlier this week, though, we made our own static web page. We put text on a text document, and then made it a web page. We put down 'This is a web page', and 'This is <u>underlined</u>' The <u> makes everything after it underlined. The </u> ends the underlining process. We then changed it from a text document to a web page by changing it from a .txt document to an .html page.

Other than that, I don't remember learning anything else to put on this post. I recall just learning about server side and client side scripting, but I can't remember anything much about it.
