This reminds me of a series we were considering at the beginning of SFX:
The Web In Small Bytes
The idea is to build a small set of short talks on all the confusing parts of
the web and its use and programming.
There really are a large number of topics:
Overview: just what is the web and what are its parts?
- Browsers/Servers
- Where/How are the parts distributed
- What happens on the server
- What happens on the client (browser)
Parts:
- HTML/HTML5 & CSS
- Hosting
- FTP & Shell Login (bash, ssh/scp/wget/curl)
- Apache web server
- MySQL
- CMS: Content Management Systems
- Blogs (WordPress), Wikis (MediaWiki), Forums, SMTP/POP Mail, ...
- Programming
- Client: JavaScript
- Server: PHP, also Ruby & Python CMS
- Catalog of useful (often free) services
- gmail, wordpress.com, blogger, ...
If anyone is interested, we might have a round table on what is needed and how
to best provide it.
