Max's Coding Corner: Hello World
As part of the interactive department here at HM&P, we deal with all sorts of projects requiring all sorts of technologies. Sometimes a client wants a plain HTML site and sometimes they want Flash with embedded videos. I’d like to dig into some of these technologies to give you, my humble reader, a better understanding of what it is that we (interactive types) do. This includes everything related to interactive work like (X)HTML/CSS, the Internet, how a web page gets to you, and so much more.
As an interactive programmer, I often take for granted my plethora of knowledge about how what we do works. For example, if you were to ask me how the internet works, and more specifically, how the web page you want to see gets from a server to your monitor, I’d launch into a long explanation with terms like ‘routers’, ‘DNS’ and ‘IP Address’. And this would mean very little to most people. So here in Max’s Coding Corner, I’ll try to bring the lingo down to a level where everyone can follow along and better understand what’s going on.
For the inaugural post, I’m going to pose a few questions that should be asked about every web site.
