There are a lot of different ways to make programs. Code can be seen in many unique areas. It’s important to know the differences and similarities of each area. In this blog post, I will be showing a little back information about how websites, apps, and servers work and importance of each.
- The first way in which code can be seen is on a website. This is usually called HTML. Sometimes HTML isn’t considered real code, but in my opinion it is. HTML is the backbone to every website and it can be combined with other different code like CSS, JQuery, etc. Those examples make it easy to add functioning parts in a website or buttons to click on. Everything you see on a website has a specific function behind it. These functions tell it what to do once you as the user clicks on it. Everything is organized and moved around the web page depending on how the developer wants it to look.
- On the back end of a website or HTML is a server that collects all this information. This is probably more important than anything. These back end programs collect data and store everything that was done in a specific server that was designated for the website. Without a server, the website would never be seen by anyone other than the computer it is made with. There are many businesses that will provide server space for rent. This is also how video games work. Everyone is located to a server together and is put in a public match or game. All this information is stored. The website can pull or push information back and forth with the server. Machines are very smart this way, but if it’s not connected to anything it’s pointless and nothing will be saved.
- The third way to use code is simply making an app or application. All of the Apps you have downloaded from the Apple store or Android store were all typed out of scratch on someone’s computer. These stores are simply just places for developers to post their work. Apple specifically charges $100 per year to place as many apps as you want on their store. They are simply a giant store that charges people to use their variety of communication. But the apps are all made with specific purposes. It can takes months and months to build an app or even years. It’s important to build something user friendly, if not no one will use the app and your hard work and time will go to waste.
