Web-related Technologies

HTML(HyperText Markup Language)

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) was first proposed in 1991 by the British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, with the first official version released in 1993. HTML is the standard markup language used to define the structure and content of a web page. It adds meaning and structure by applying Tags to elements such as headings, paragraphs, and images, forming the core framework of a website. Typically, a web page is created by using HTML for the structure, CSS for the design, and JavaScript to add dynamic functionality.

CSS(Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) was first proposed by Håkon Wium Lie in 1994, and its first version (CSS1) was officially released as a recommendation by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) in December 1996. CSS is a style sheet language used to define the design and layout of documents written in HTML. While HTML is responsible for the 'structure' of the web, CSS is exclusively responsible for the 'visual presentation,' including fonts, colors, margins, and element placement. Thanks to CSS, it became possible to manage a document's content and design separately, which has greatly improved website maintenance and work efficiency.

Javascript

JavaScript is a programming language first released in December 1995 by Brendan Eichof Netscape. If HTML handles a website's 'structure' and CSS manages its 'design,' JavaScript controls its 'behavior' to make web pages dynamic. It is a core technology that brings the web to life, responding to user clicks, validating input values, and creating animation effects. Today, it is used not only in web browsers but also in various environments such as servers.

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)

PHP is a server-side scripting language released in 1995 by Danish-Canadian programmer Rasmus Lerdorf. Initially an acronym for "Personal Home Page," it is now a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor." PHP runs on a server, interacts with databases, and converts the results into HTML format to send to the user (client). As such, it is specialized in creating dynamic web pages, and countless websites, including the world's largest content management system (CMS), WordPress, run on PHP.
