Register your domain name This can be trickier than you think, since many of the good domain names are taken. You can pretty much forget about single-word domain names like business.com and auctions.com; they are long gone! You will need to come up with combination words like ‘how-to-build-websites.com’. Today you have many more options for domains; in the past, businesses could only register .com’s because .net and .org domains where reserved for special types of organizations. .com, .net, .org, .tv, .biz, and several others including country codes like .ca (Canada), .us (USA), .co.uk (United Kingdom) et cetera.

In terms of the search engines, it makes no difference which ending (extension) you use. Some people might argue that the first thing you need to do is to register your domain name, then build your web site. How do you know if a domain is already taken? Web Design - Lesson 1 - Basic Concepts. An introduction to domain names, web servers, and website hosting I assume that you know nothing about the inner workings of the Internet; maybe you’re not even sure how people actually get to web sites, where the web sites are actually sitting, what the web is in the first place….

Web Design - Lesson 1 - Basic Concepts

In this article I am going to give you the minimum you need to get your ‘feet wet’ so that we can quickly get into building web sites. I won’t go into painful micro-details that would put all but true nerds to sleep, again there is just enough so that you have a basic understanding of what’s going on. What is the web?

Mike Raben, a firefighter in Louisville, Colo., found a more modern solution online: a custom-built calculator app for Google Android phones. He liked what he saw, and had a few ideas for improving it.

Here's the twist: Neither Raben nor Carolan are programmers. GameSalad is a similar application for Mac OS, which streamlines the process of creating Web, iPad and, of course, iPhone games to a point where nonprogrammers have found success in the notoriously crowded App Store. How It Works What App Inventor and GameSalad do is automate the creation of code, hiding it from view. GameSalad's jarringly stripped-down appearance belies its capabilities.
