In
the first part, we shown you the two basic things you need to know, domain name
and hosting. In this part, we will talk about the tools that use to build a
website from scratch. There are many tools that we can use for building a
website and we can category into two groups:
- Paid tool: such as Adobe dreamweaver, Firework. These softwares are most common use for web developers. It helps to build website in fast speed, beautiful and easy. However, it is costly and you may probably not remember the backbone of the language to build website if you only use the tool feature. You can test those software by using trial version for 30 days.
- Free tool: such as Notepad, Notepad ++, Brackets, Komodo Edit, Sublime text 2 & Textmate (for Mac. OS X), Zend studio, etc. Those softwares are open source tool which you can use for free. They have large community to help when you face with the problem in writing code. In order to use those tools, we need more effort and knowledge on programme language.
Next
we need to know the syntax of the programme language that we use to build a
website. There are two common type of website, static website and dynamic
website.
- Static website is just a web page where we show all informations to the visitors to see without any interact with the visitors. This kind of websites were build by using HTML language (the last version is HTML5). HTML stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. This is the language in which we write web pages for a static website. Even the page you are reading right now is written in HTML. This is a subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) for electronic publishing, the specific standard used for the World Wide Web. HTML is basicly just a language for you computer and browser to talk to other computer or a server and display a website.
- Dynamic website is a website which give response to the visitors when it has request. It is normally built by using PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) language or C++ (FastCGI) language. Those languages is used for making the website dynamic by response connection between servers and visitors. For example, when the visitors request to fill a form, PHP or FastCGI communicate with the web server to display form page for the visitors and store them in the web server. We can test dynamic website without buying hosting by install local hosting. It is used only for testing the website function before we upload to the hosting site. We can installWampserver or Zendserver for Window and mamp for Mac. OS X.
The next thing we need to know is browser. There
are many browsers such as Internet explore,Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera,
etc. Those browsers may have a bit different result to display web page for the
same code that we wrote. So, we suggest you to have all of those browsers to
test your webpage.
