What is web technology?
Web technology refers to the use of tools or methods that communicate or exchange information between two or more different electronic devices on the Internet.
What are the different web technologies used?
Web technologies are generally classified based on where they are used. There are two types of classifications available; client-side web technology and server-side web technology.
1) Web Browser -
A web browser is an application used on the client-side by which any information from the Internet or WWW, or the World Wide Web is retrieved from the server-side and displayed on the client-side. Some popular web browsers are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.
2) Web Server -
A web server is a virtual space on the server-side where all the information is stored and presented in front of the client with the help of hypertext transfer protocol. Usually, a high-tech computer machine is used as the server.
3) Web Development Technology -
Web development technology is the process by which a website is created and controlled. It is further divided into two subdivisions, namely front-end development, and back-end development.
A. Front End Development -
The process of creating the part of the website which is visible in front of the client.
i) HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language is the language used to create the main structure of a website or web document.

vi) React JS - This is an open-source library relying on JavaScript and used for front-end development to create one-page applications or mobile applications.
vii) Bootstrap - This is an open-source framework based on CSS which helps a website or document to appear mobile responsive. It has some custom templates built-in CSS and JavaScript that can be used to design a website very quickly.
B. Back and Development -
The process of creating the part of the website that is not visible to the client is mainly used for storing and exchanging information.
i) PHP - This is a type of server-side scripting language used for website development.
ii) Python - a type of programming language that allows systems to be controlled much faster and more efficiently.
iii) C # - This is an object-oriented programming language used in software or in application development.
