Summary Reflection:
After reading the first three chapters of this book, I have attained the knowledge of the difference between the internet and the web, the uses of HTML and CSS and abundance more of information.The first chapter gave me a summary of what to expect in this book and also what a web designer actually does and definition of many important topics in web design. I learned something new with the term "UI" design which stands for User Interface. UI design delves in the how the user will use the site and navigate and not just how the site will look. It is important to pay attention to the functioning of the site.
The second chapter explains how we get files "served" to us by servers. Also, a brief intro into HTML. The internet is a network of connected computers while the web is a way to share information over the internet. This needs to be clarified as many people have thought they were exactly the same thing.
The third chapter talks about the multitude of devices that can access the web. When the web first existed, we used desktops, but now the types of devices that can access the web are growing. We have to use responsive web design which correlates with a quality experience for the user no matter what the device they use.
Question 1: What are servers and how do they work?
The server is the software that allows the computer to communicate with other computers. It serves up documents when a client requests them. The client provides the documents to the user.
Question 2: Are sites created for mobile devices particularly better than using one responsive design for all?
A dedicated mobile site may be the best way to make complex tasks easier for users on smartphones but there is twice the work. Mobile sites are usually stripped down and to the point. Responsive design is not a universal solution, but can be less time consuming.
