Week 2

This week, we're looking more deeply at what happens under the hood of a Web site.


 * We'll start by talking about the difference between Static and Dynamic Websites and how, over the years, the general approach to developing for the Web has shifted.


 * So now that we know that Web applications are what we use to make dynamic sites, let's learn a bit about what actually happens when we  install them


 * Once our Web application is installed, it's a good idea to develop a basic understanding of the Databases that are installed with them.


 * A critical component of any Web application is the files that are placed on the server when they're installed. It might be helpful to get some more information about how File Structures, in general, work on the Web.


 * Behind the scenes of Domain of One's Own is a very particular kind of  Web environment. It allows us to install and experiment with a range of open-source applications, as long as they meet certain criteria.
