It goes well with HTML. - What makes PHP special? - Why it’s so popular? No where. Software as a service. Not a technical term - more a business/delivery model, in which software is hosted centrally, not by the user themselves and they often pay a subscription fee. Examples range from Salesforce, Spotify, Google Docs.. - What other buzzwords are there that are not technical? Logic. Ruby on Rails. Sometimes abbreviations might fool you! Style & structure. Especially structue: HTML is what describes the structure and the (static) content of the website. - What is XHTML? HTML5? - Scripting language vs. markup? Database. An open source database system.

Servers are the piece of software that deliver the web page to you. - What is HTTP? What is the role of the browser? Style and structure. Especially style, designed to describe the look of webpages, including elements such as the layout, colors and fonts. - Why is CSS important when building bigger sites? - What is CSS3? Logic. A similar framework as Rails is for Ruby, Django is for Python. - What other examples of popular frameworks are there? For Ruby? Database. Worlds most popular open source database system, used by Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress etc. Well baked into many software stacks like LAMP - Talk about LAMP and other software stacks - Talk a little about open source Infrastructure.
