And welcome back to the final lesson from 'The History of the Web'.

2

I wanted to finish things off with this diagram that we've seen before in previous lessons, with a few

3

minor differences.

4

And that is, I wanted to show you how web applications were built in the early 2000s.

5

So they were built with technologies that we've come to familiarize ourselves with.

6

We have HTML, CSS, Javascript, but we also had JQuery, and JQuery was a library that allowed

7

Javascript to be written in a simple, clean way that allowed us not to worry too much about working in

8

one browser, then the other.

9

It created this environment for Javascript to flourish but it is an outdated technology and there's

10

better ways of doing things.

11

So it is not used very often and you'll see it less and less in job postings.

12

And then on the back-end we have the LAMP stack that stands for Linux Apache MySQL, and PHP.

13

And in those days, back-end developers used PHP to write files that allowed us to have logic on the servers.

14

And then we had Apache.

15

So if you ever use something like HostGator and you had to log in to cPanel, or any of those very

16

common hosting platforms, most likely they're running Apache server.

17

And what it is - it's a software that really efficiently serves up files, and PHP is a language that is

18

still being used today and Facebook actually uses it.

19

But that's because their website was built in the early 2000s.

20

It is now a very unpopular, let's say, language in terms of growth and job opportunities.

21

And then we also had MySQL, which it's still being used.

22

But again if you're looking to get hired and you want to look for skills that are highly employable

23

people are looking for them and there are still very few developers that know it really well.

24

Well that's what we're learning in this course, and this course we're going to learn HTML5, CSS3,

25

we're going to learn Javascript.

26

We're going to learn React, probably biggest library for Javascript and we're

27

going to learn about Node servers, Node.JS, Express.JS, we're going to learn about PostgreSQL, and

28

also MongoDB.

29

So we're learning all these things in order for us to build clean, fast, and bug free web applications

30

so that we can stand on shoulders of giants, so we can create wonderful applications that we're proud

31

of. So get excited.

32

All the theory stuff, we're done with. We're going to start coding.

33

We're going to start off with HTML, then get into CSS, and then finally Javascript, and React. And

34

don't worry, we'll get to the back-end as well.

35

So I'll see in the next section. Bye-bye.
