⚙️ How Websites Work

Understanding the basics of how the web works will make you a better developer.

1. You Type a URL

When you type "google.com" in your browser, you're asking to see a website.

2. Server Responds

A computer (server) receives your request and sends back HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.

3. Browser Renders

Your browser reads the code and displays the beautiful webpage you see!

4. You Interact

You click links, fill forms, and navigate. JavaScript makes pages interactive!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about learning web development, answered clearly.

Do I need to be good at math to learn web development?
No! Web development is more about creativity and logic than math. Basic arithmetic is enough for most web development. You'll mostly work with colors, layouts, and text - no complex equations needed!
What software do I need to start?
Just a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and a text editor! VS Code is free and excellent for beginners. You can even start with online editors like CodePen without installing anything.
How long does it take to learn HTML and CSS?
You can learn the basics in 2-4 weeks with regular practice. Building confidence takes 2-3 months. Everyone learns at different speeds - the key is consistent practice and building projects!
Should I learn HTML and CSS at the same time?
Start with HTML basics first (1-2 weeks), then add CSS. They work together, so you'll use both, but understanding HTML structure first makes CSS easier to learn.
Can I get a job with just HTML and CSS?
HTML and CSS alone can get you entry-level positions or freelance work. For more opportunities, also learn JavaScript. Many designers and content creators use HTML/CSS without being full developers!
