WEB TECHNOLOGY
Web Technology refers to the tools, techniques, and methodologies used to create

and manage websites and web applications. It plays a pivotal role in enabling

communication, interaction, and services over the internet. Web technology

encompasses both client-side (front-end) and server-side (back-end)

technologies that work together to deliver seamless experiences to users.

1. Client-Side Technologies

Client-side technologies focus on how a website looks and behaves in a user's

browser. These technologies are essential for developing interactive, user-friendly
interfaces.

 HTML (HyperText Markup Language):

HTML is the fundamental language used to structure content on the web. It
defines the placement of elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images,
and multimedia on a webpage. It forms the backbone of any website.
 o Example: <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>, <p>This is a
paragraph.</p>
 CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):
CSS is used to control the presentation and layout of the HTML structure. It
allows developers to customize the appearance of web pages by defining styles
like colors, fonts, margins, padding, and overall layout, ensuring that websites
are visually appealing and consistent across different devices.
o Example: body {background-color: lightblue; font-family: Arial;}

 JavaScript:
JavaScript is a programming language that enables interactivity on websites. It
is used to create dynamic content, such as pop-up dialogs, interactive forms,
animations, and handling user inputs in real-time without reloading the
webpage. JavaScript can also fetch and update data in the background
o Example: document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click',
function() { alert('Button clicked!'); });

2. Server -side Technologies

Server-side technologies handle the logic and data processing behind the
scenes. They are responsible for processing user requests, interacting with
databases, and generating dynamic content.

Working of a Web Application

A web application operates based on a simple request-response cycle between the
client (browser) and the server.

1. User Request:
The user initiates a request by typing a URL into their browser or clicking a
link/button on the website. This request is sent via the internet to the web
server.
2. Web Server Processing:
The web server receives the request and performs the required processing. This
may include fetching data from a database, running scripts, or generating
dynamic content depending on what is requested.
3. Response:
The server processes the request and sends the requested webpage or data back
to the browser. If any data is required from the database (such as user login
details), the server will query the database before sending the final response.
 PROJECT REQUIREMENT

1. Front-End Design:

 HTML:

o A basic HTML form that allows the user to input their birthdate.

o The form will have:

 A Date Input field to enter the birthdate.

 A Submit Button to calculate the age.

 A section to display the calculated age.

 CSS:

o Basic styling for the form to make it visually appealing.

o Responsive design to ensure it looks good on both mobile and desktop

devices.

2. Functionality:

 Input Validation:

o Validate that the user has entered a valid date (not in the future or invalid

date formats).

 Age Calculation:

o JavaScript will be used to calculate the age from the current date and the

user’s birthdate.

o The app should return the age in years, months, and days (optional but a

nice touch).

 Display Output:

o After the user submits their birthdate, the calculated age will be

displayed in a result area.

 TECHNOLOGIES USED IN WEB APPLICATION
1. HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
HTML is the foundation of every web page, including the Age Calculator App. It is used to create the
structure and layout of the webpage.
In the Age Calculator App, HTML is used to define:
 The form where the user inputs their birthdate.
 The button that the user clicks to calculate their age.
 The section where the result (the user’s calculated age) is displayed.
Key HTML Elements Used:
 <input>: Used to create a field where the user can enter their birthdate.
o Example: <input type="date" id="birthdate">
 <button>: Used to create a button that triggers the age calculation.
o Example: <button onclick="calculateAge()">Calculate Age</button>
 <div>: Used to create a container that holds the calculated result.
o Example: <div id="result"></div>
HTML is essential because it provides the structure and the user interface that allows interaction
between the user and the app.

2. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS is a stylesheet language that is used to control the appearance and layout of a webpage. It
ensures that the Age Calculator App looks clean, organized, and visually appealing.
In the Age Calculator App, CSS is used to:
 Style the form and input fields: The birthdate input field, button, and result section are styled to
look consistent and user-friendly.
 Add spacing, colors, and fonts: CSS defines margins, padding, background colors, font styles,
and text alignment, improving readability and making the app visually engaging.
 Make the app responsive: With the help of media queries, CSS ensures that the app adjusts its
layout according to the device's screen size (desktop, tablet, or mobile).
Key CSS Concepts Used:
 Selectors: Used to target HTML elements and apply styles to them.
o Example:
input, button {
 font-size: 16px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 5px;
}
 Box Model: Defines how elements are displayed on the page, including their width, height,
padding, border, and margin.
 Responsive Design: Ensures the app works well on all devices.
o Example:
@media (max-width: 600px) {
input, button {
width: 100%;
}
}
With CSS, the overall user experience is improved, making the app easy to use and professional in
appearance.

3. JavaScript
JavaScript is a powerful scripting language that makes web pages interactive and dynamic. In the Age
Calculator App, JavaScript is used to handle the logic that performs the actual age calculation.
How JavaScript Works in the App:
 Capturing User Input: When the user selects their birthdate from the input field, JavaScript
captures this input for further processing.
o Example: let birthdate = document.getElementById('birthdate').value;
 Calculating the Age: JavaScript uses the birthdate provided by the user and compares it to the
current date. It then calculates the difference to determine the user’s age in years, months, and
days.

OUTPUT
 CHALLENGES AND LEARNINIG
Challenges -
1. Date Calculation:
o It was challenging to calculate the exact age, considering leap years and
different month lengths. JavaScript’s date functions were explored to
resolve this.
2. Form Validation:
o Ensuring that users couldn't enter future dates required adding
validation, which was difficult but handled using JavaScript.
3. Responsive Design:
o Making the app look good on different devices (desktop and mobile)
was a challenge, solved using CSS media queries.
4. User Interface Design:
o Creating a simple, user-friendly interface while ensuring clear
instructions was tricky but improved with feedback.

1. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Skills:
o Gained a deeper understanding of how to structure webpages, style
them, and make them interactive.
2. JavaScript for Logic:
o Learned how to handle date calculations, form validation, and display
results dynamically using JavaScript.
3. Responsive Design:
o Understood how to use CSS to make webpages look good on different
devices.
4. Problem Solving:
o Improved debugging skills and learned how to break down the project
into smaller, manageable parts for easier implementation.
