How to Professionally Design a Website - For Beginners

A Website is the collection of web pages all connected with a common domain and is publish on Web Server(s). Websites can be used for various functions - a website can be personal or commercial for a company or firm, or a government organization or non-profitable organisation. Website can be used for various purposes like education, advertisement, research, entertainment, social media etc.
Just the same way a book is made up of various pages, so is a website.
When designing a website, each page are designed independently and linked together by codes to form a website. Websites are written codes that can only be interpreted by a browser e.g Firefox, Explorer, Chrome etc. These codes are known/called Scripting/programming languages, examples include, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, JAVA, PHP, MySQL etc. But for beginners I'll be Starting with HyperText Markup Language (HTML) which is an object base scripting language.

Simple Way to Learn HTML
As i said earlier, HTML is a programming "LANGUAGE". You might be wondering why more emphasis is on the word "Language", well, just as you speak your language - Igbo, English, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Yoruba etc, you should be able to "Speak" HTML. HOW? Just the same way you learn your language - by constantly practicing.
To start a HTML web page, you need a word editor like Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime etc. Type something like this in any of the word editor you have.
This is an example of how a HTML code looks like;
          <!DOCTYPE html>
         <Head> 
         <Title> My first Web page</title> </head>
         <boDy> 
         <Font size="4" face="courier" color="green">Hello World! </font>
 
 
Save it in a folder that will contain all you website contents like images, logos, videos, etc. save as "index.html" or "home.htm". Open it with any web browser of your choice and you'll get a result like something below;

                                  Hello World!
 
Holla! you have successfully started creating your first website.
 
 
 
                                                                                                               ...more to come

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORKING

Introduction To Networking Introduction to NETWORKING
Networking is the process or act of interconnection of autonomous computers to share resources. The primary aim of networking is to share resources (resources: information or data that are transferred from one computer to another).The connection of computers brought about the internet. Thus, the internet can be defined as “the network of networks”. The process whereby a group of computers are connected together to share resources whether with wire or wirelessly is the basic of the creation of the internet. When a group of computers in two different places are connected together to share data, they thereby create an internet, but when computers in a company or a in a particular building are connected together, it creates an intranet. Types of Networks There are many types of networks, some of them are;
1. LAN (Local Area Network)
2. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
3. WAN (Wide Area Network)
4. PAN (Personal Area Network)
5. CAN (Campus Area Network)
6. Ethernet etc.
Types of Network Architecture 1. Client/Server
2. Peer to peer
Types of Network Topology 1. Bus topology
2. Ring topology
3. Tree topology
4. Star topology
5. Mesh topology
6. Token ring topology etc.
These are the bases of networking but the detail explanation will be explained in the next episode. Networking is a very important course to study; it enlightens students on how, to be globalized in the society, information sharing is the bases of networking and computer science, a society where data cannot be shared is more of a computer free society. Networking is the most important branch of computer science as it aids in the sharing of resources.
