Web-page basics

(No Transcript)

From server to browser
Browser interprets HTML files
Web server -Repository for files that can be
accessed by a web broser
Designer and programmer
7
Web-page basics
  • XHTML extensible hypertext mark-up language
  • Formatting text and screen layout
  • References to other pages (links) and places
    non-text context fx pictures in a page
  • XHTML only stores text (not pictures)
  • Browsers interpret XHTML and renders the page we
    see
  • No sharp distinction between form and content (or
    at least it used to be so for a long time)

8
From single pages to large(-r) web-sites
  • Challenges
  • Very large web-sites
  • Many people contributing
  • The ones with knowledge of the content lack
    technical insight and/or time deal with technical
    issues
  • Need to serve many different platforms
  • Need for a consistent design across large sites
  • Need for different versions and different
    languages
  • (interactivity)

9
From single pages to large web-sites
  • Technological and organisational solutions
  • Splitting form and content on the programming
    level (XHTML, CSS)
  • Editors with template and reusable content
  • The rise of the information architect
  • (added interactivity through server-side
    programming asp, php, java, ...)

10
From single pages to large web-sites
  • CMS a technical solution that provides new
    conditions for the organisation
  • Decentralized maintenanceDesigned with
    non-technical content editors in mind
  • Configurable access restrictions
  • Consistency of design is preserved Navigation is
    automatically generatedContent is stored in a
    databaseDynamic content
  • Daily updates (easy)
  • Cooperation
  • Content scheduling (produce today and set a later
    release day)
  • Source www.typo3.org

CMS in principle
  • CMS frontend
  • Output for webbrowser
  • User input
  • CMS backend

But what is content?
  • Texts
  • Pictures/photos
  • Tables
  • Menus
  • Forms

13
CM Systems and reasons for not teaching them here
  • Commercial (more or less closed systems very
    little continuous or community development,
    expensive)
  • Sitecore
  • Synkron Via
  • Odeum
  • Open source
  • Typo3 complex, Typo3 specific programming
    language for templates
  • Joomla a bit on the simple side, a fork of
    Mambo (continued development by other developers)
  • Mambo a bit on the simple side, did the best
    developers leave with Joomla?

15
Why Typo3?
  • Build on general CMS principles what you learn
    transfers easily to other systems
  • Open source you can go into an organization and
    if needed bring the entire package for free
  • Handles small medium large web-sites
  • Many free templates available
  • Plugs in extra components
  • Developed by a large and stable community (at the
    moment)
