About Graphics

For the past years our technology has been continuously evolving and it has completely improved graphics, artworks and printing. This new breakthrough in technology has made printing affordable and easy to use. Printings for photographers have been made very easy and consultative. More photographers have switched from the old style to the modern enlarged printing with the digital use of inkjet.

Photoshop is no doubt the most momentous Photoshop progress which complements digital photographers. Real world Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop discusses exciting new features for general users, web designers, video editors and digital photographers.

Now you will learn more about the web basics...

What is the web?

In a nutshell, the web is a whole bunch of interconnected computers. These computers are typically connected by phone lines, digital satellite signals, cables and other types of data-transfer mechanisms. A 'data-transfer mechanism' is a nerd's way of saying: a way to move information from point A to point B to point C and so on.

The computers that make up the web can be connected all the time (24/7), and they can be connected only periodically. The computers that are connected all the time are typically what is called a server. Servers are computers just like the one you're using now to read this article, with one major difference, they have a special software installed called 'server' software.

What is the function of server ?

Server is created to 'serve' web pages and web sites. Basically the server has a bunch of web sites loaded on it and it just waits for people (web browsers) to request or ask for a particular page. When the browser requests a page the server sends it out.

How does the web surfer find a web site?

The short answer is: by typing in the URL, or in other words, the web site address. So for example, if you wanted to find the web site www.hellohai.com, you would type the address into your web browsers address bar.

There are other ways to find web sites like search engines but behind the scenes web sites are all being found by going to the web sites official address. That brings us our last detail.

Registering your domain name!

If you ever wondered what the heck registering a domain was all about ... you probably figured it out by now! But just in case - registering a domain name gets you an official address for your web site on the World Wide Web. With this 'official' address, the rest of the Web can find you.

Like your home address is unique in the real world, there also can't be any duplicate addresses on the Internet, otherwise no one would know where to go! In other words, domain names are unique addresses on the web.

Renting server space to 'host' your web site!

Renting space on a server so that it can serve your web site to the World Wide Web, it is often called 'hosting'. Companies that provide this service are often called hosting companies.

After you have registered your domain, all you need to do is contact a hosting company and tell them your domain name. They will guide you through the process and you should be live on the web in no time - typically within a week or less.

How to place your website files on server ?

After you have your domain name registered and your hosting service in place, the last step is to upload the website onto the server. You can transfer your web site to your host's server using an FTP program.

An FTP program is a type of software that is used to move files from one computer to another over the Internet. FTP is the acronym for: File Transfer Protocol; this just means that this is a 'way' of moving files.

There are several free FTP programs you can use to move your files and many HTML editors and web design programs like Dreamweaver have FTP capabilities built in.
