Making Money With Web Designs - The Basics By Rebecca Hubbard, Mon Dec 26th
Making Money with Web Designs - The Basics Web development covers a diverse range of professions such asdesigners, programmers, system analysts, technical writers,search engine optimizers, database managers and animators, justto name a few. Web development involves the creation of applications that runon the World Wide Web. These applications are fundamentallycategorized as three tiered applications. The first tier orlevel is the web browsers such as Netscape Navigator, InternetExplorer, Mozilla Firefox and Mosaic. These browsers provide theuser interface for the system. The interfaces are usually shownas web pages. Web pages can be created using basic HTML(HyperText Mark-up Language) to the remarkable animations ofMacromedia Flash.
During the much-hyped beginnings of the Internet and World WideWeb, browsers tend to offer users with facilities and programsthat are unique to each and every browser. This causes a lot ofconfusion on the part of the users. Furthermore, this led to theincompatibility of several web sites or web site features forsome web browsers. These incompatibility issues led to the formation of an Internetand World Wide Web body to establish certain guidelines orstandards so as to prevent any further chaos in the users partand would also prevent some company from totally establishing amonopoly of web development. The second tier or level of Web development involves severalprogramming languages and scripts. Languages and scripts such asPerl, CGI, Php, Java server applets (JSP) and active serverpager (ASP) are the more popular and commonly used languages andscripts for web development. Application from this tierestablishes and controls the accessibility of information ordata from a web server. These applications that are used for webdevelopment are also called server side application. The third tier is the database. This database is usually foundon a server that is remote or isolated from the clients that tryto gain access or do any transactions with the system. There aredozens of web based databases such as MYSQL, Posters, MS SQL andOracle. Databases may contain simple mailing lists to hugeinventory and sales databases. Web development involves several types of web sites that may ormay not strictly adhere to the concept of a three-tieredapplication. Some of these web sites are categorized as Archive Sites such asYahoo.com, Business Site, Commerce Site such as EBay, CommunitySite such as Yahoo Groups, Database Sites, Development site suchas Maricopa.com, Directory Site such as Google Directories,Download Sites such as Macromedia Downloads, Game Site or RPGSite such as Pogo.com, and Information Index Site such asWikipedia. Other forms of web sites are News sites such as CNN and PornSites - they thrive in the Internet. Search Engine such asdogpile.com, Shock Site such as ogrish.com (Please enter withcaution), Vanity Site, Web portals and the ever popular web logsor blogs (we get the last letter of the first word and add it tologs.) An individual or a company planning to start a web developmentbusiness would be happy to know that software for webdevelopment can cost absolutely nothing. Open systems havebecome more popular with the Internet. An example of an opensource platform would be Linux, Apache, MySQL and Php. Linuxwould be your Operating System. There are several versions ofLinux that can be downloaded for free and have great graphicaluser interfaces. Examples of Linux are Fedora and Ubuntu. Apache is a free web server that can be installed in almost anyOperating System. MySQL is popular database management software preferred by manydevelopers. Postgres is also another free database managementsoftware. Php have come a long way from the early days of web development.It is one of the web languages that have matured into a fullfeature language. Other free programming languages are Python,CGI and Perl. It is best to consider the kind of web applicationto develop before choosing the programming language to use. A Web development business can be started with basically a lowinitial capital and can be quite profitable. It does involve toa degree of technical know-how, design savvy and an eye foraesthetics. It is a field where the competition is short ofbeing literally cut-throat but the rewards are worth it.
