This document discusses various web development concepts including HTTP, APIs, REST APIs, common web technologies, and the differences between static and dynamic websites. HTTP is the set of protocols used to transfer files over the internet. An API allows software backends and services to communicate, while a REST API specifically uses URLs to request and receive data in response. Common frontend technologies include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, while common backend technologies include PHP, SQL, Python, ASP, and .NET. Static websites have fixed pages and formats, while dynamic websites can dynamically change page content using server-side programming and databases.

Internet.

2. What is an API?
Ans- An API stands for application programming interface. It is an information
gateway which basically allows the back ends of software and the services that

and convenient because of APIs.
API helps to receive requests and responding with the data needed to provide
some functionality or service.

Ans- Static Websites
Static websites has a fixed number of pages and format of web page is fixed. It delivers
information to the client. This type of web sites created from HTML and CSS coding on a simple

display the exact information whenever someone visits it. However, every visitor to that page
will be greeted by the exact same text, multimedia design or video every time he visits the page
until you alter that page's source code.

Dynamic Website Pages


Dynamic websites can change the web page contents dynamically while the page is running on
the client's browser. This type of websites use server-side programming like PHP, .NET. and
SQL etc. to modify page contents on run time. Dynamic websites use client-side scripting to
prepare dynamic design and server-side code to handle an event, manage session and cookies,
and storing and retrieving data from a database. For Example, E-commerce sites, online form
