Info

The only part of chapter 10 that will be on the exam is the IIS section.

The default HTTP port is 80. The default HTTPS port is 443.

Management

By default, the files served by IIS (html, javascript, images) are stored at C:\inetpub\wwwroot. As a web developer or systems administrator you will need a way to copy, update, or delete the files on the web server. In an internal network, you’ll probably use SMB or NFS. Over the Internet, you’ll use FTP or WebDAV.

Languages

A backend language runs on the server that’s serving web pages. If you need the server to access a database and load information before ASP, ASP.NET, and Python are backend languages.

A frontend language runs in the browser on the user’s PC. HTML and JavaScript are frontend languages.

Note

Java is a completely different language and not related to JavaScript at all.
