bookHow a Website Works

A website is a complex combination of files and code that allows users to access and interact with content online. The process involves various components, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, each serving a distinct purpose.

HTML file

The HTML code file is an essential component of any website as it is responsible for the content on the webpage. In analogy, if a website were a house, the HTML would be the bricks used to build the structure. It is the raw material that makes up the website's content, such as text, images, buttons, or links.

CSS file

The CSS file serves as a crucial component responsible for styling a website, determining its look and feel, much like the color of walls or the shape of a door affects the overall appearance of a house. These files target all the content created using HTML and apply styling to those elements. Using CSS, we can make a button turn red, give it rounded corners, and apply a specific font to the text.

JavaScript file

The final component, JavaScript code, adds functionality to a website. In analogy, it's like adding light bulbs or a cooker to a house to turn it into a home. JavaScript transforms a static website that displays only images or text into a dynamic website with which users can interact.

Note

Understanding these three main components - HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is crucial to comprehending how websites function and providing users with an interactive and visually appealing experience.
