Every Blog Must Start Off Somewhere, So Here It Goes

Hello and Welcome to Everyone who is interested in reading this first post,

I’m going to start off by saying that this blog is more a collection of thoughts and ideas on my journey into developing web based content and software.

First, I will give a bit of an overview of my background. I’m a former research fellow and am in between jobs, my research focused on Control Engineering and System Modelling so I come with experience coding in languages such as MATLAB, C++ and some Python.

Though I have knowledge of coding it has only been recently that I have been creating a working draft of some software designs using various languages. I’m trying to expand my skillset and truly understand the process of developing software from a plan in my head, so I am learning more about design documentation and programming a minimal working example.

As a result of this process I have been learning more about HTML (HyperText Markup Language) programming and other associated components of web development. Over the course of 4 months I have been programming using the resources available online and have been working on improving my methods so that my final example is functional.

Therefore, I thought that I would produce this blog and post about the things I have been learning bit by bit. I have a bit of an unorthodox approach towards projects and can often get off track with some ideas, so I won’t hold it against you if you decide to leave and never come back. Though I hope that this blog will contain some useful information about ideas and approaches to problems which will be of use to someone, sometime in the future.

I will be adding more posts on an ad hoc basis with no real schedule so if you want to be notified of when I next post, I would recommend you subscribing to the blog, which will give you email notifications when I post a new blog item. Subscribing is free though so if you are interested in my content feel free to try it out, you can always cancel later.

If you have any tips or suggestions for any future content feel free to comment below and I will try to respond to them when I can. Please keep comments polite and respectful as I hope this blog will be helpful to all age groups.

I’m going to end this post here, but I hope to post again soon with something a bit more technical.

All the best

BB

Why do we use URLs?

A Unique Resource Locator or URL for short, is a map to a particular file or directory, they crop up all throughout the internet usually used to create links between different pages, files or directories. One of the questions though is why do we use them. Take this blog’s URL for example  https://webdev-bb.blogspot.com/  why do we use this. Well firstly, this blog is made up of various files located in different locations. So in order to find those files we need some kind of map to them all. Most modern computers use what are known as IP addresses, a short string of numbers used as an identification for accessing the device given a known location. Your home pc has its own IP address so why not use this? Well we could use this but you would be broadcasting your computer to the internet and anyone who has your IP address could both send and receive files and data to your computer. This is why your home network has a local IP address for devices that are on the same network to en...
