Web systems refer to the architecture, components, and technologies that power the World Wide Web.
Web systems enable the creation, delivery, and interaction with web-based applications and content
Web Browser: The client-side component that users use to interact with the web system
User Interface (UI): The visual elements and design that users interact with on the web page
Client-Side Scripting: Code executed on the user's browser (e.g., JavaScript) to enhance interactivity
Web Server: The server responsible for receiving and responding to requests from clients. Examples include Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft IIS
Application Server: Executes server-side code and processes business logic. Examples include Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, or Java EE
Database Server: Manages and stores data. Common databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Microsoft SQL Server
HTTP/HTTPS: The protocol used for communication between the client and the server. HTTPS provides a secure version of HTTP, often used for sensitive transactions
Monitoring Tools: Keep track of the web system's performance, availability, and errors
Logging Systems: Record events and activities for debugging and analysis
Authentication Services: Verify the identity of users
Authorization Services: Control access to specific resources or functionalities based on user permissions
Server-Side Frameworks: Flask, Express, Django, Ruby on Rails
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): Enable communication between front-end and back-end
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Combining web and mobile app features
Serverless Architecture: Executing code without managing servers
Machine Learning in Web Development: Enhancing user experience
WebAssembly (Wasm): High-performance binary format for the web
Key Components of a Web System
• Client-side Components
• Server-Side Components
• Communication Protocols
• Monitoring and Logging
• Authentication and Authorization
Client-Side Components:
Web Browser: The client-side component that users use to interact with the web system.
Client Side Components:
User Interface (UI): The visual elements and design that users interact with on the web page.
Client-Side Scripting: Code executed on the user's browser (e.g., JavaScript) to enhance interactivity.
Server-Side Components:
Web Server: The server responsible for receiving and responding to requests from clients. Examples include Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft IIS.
Server-Side Components:
Application Server: Executes server-side code and processes business logic. Examples include Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, or Java EE.
Server-Side Components:
Database Server: Manages and stores data. Common databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Microsoft SQL Serve
Communication Protocols:
HTTP/HTTPS: The protocol used for communication between the client and the server. HTTPS provides a secure version of HTTP, often used for sensitive transactions.
Monitoring Tools: Keep track of the web system's performance, availability, and errors.
Logging Systems: Record events and activities for debugging and analysis
