web protocols | |||
- HTTP | |||
When you view a web page: | |||
- browser sends a GET request for the URL to a web server | |||
- web server sends back a document | |||
- browser renders document and makes more GET requests | |||
Web pages are, at base, HTML documents with other stuff | |||
Major web renderers | |||
- Gecko (Firefox) | |||
- Blink (Chrome, fork of WebKit) | |||
- Trident (MSHTML) | |||
- WebKit | |||
- EdgeHTML (fork of Trident) | |||
Web renderers interpret: | |||
- HTML | |||
- CSS | |||
- JavaScript | |||
(and they incorporate images and videos) | |||
HTML - specifies basic structure and content of "page" | |||
CSS - makes it pretty (fonts, layout, etc) | |||
JavaScript - code | |||
Read-Eval-Print loop (REPL) | |||
