Description:
Ever ask yourself, “How does typing http://www.KohnenSolutions.com into that little
bar in my browser make what I see?” Ever want to be able to program that too? Then this is a presentation for you. In it I’ll explain the basic architecture of the World
Wide Web, the major players in it, and how they talk to each other. I’ll also answer questions like: What is HTML and how does it work? How do technologies like ASP.NET,
PHP, Perl, and Ruby play a part? How do I get started?
