A quick view on additional terms: glossary for beginners
Tangible June 25, 2023
Before we move on to the next topic of actual content creation, we thought it might be helpful to understand in general terms how the internet works, so you can make better decisions in the future since you are going to be creating content yourself.
We will split this lesson into four parts: content, development, hosting, and performance.
In Content, we will see everything related to actual content development for the web and how it’s displayed to the user. The Development will tackle some common terms in programming. The Hosting section will explain the terms used in hosting and how the internet works behind the curtains. Finally, performance will address common variables involved in making your website load faster.
