Web Architecture 101

Re:Web Architecture 101 by aportnoy on Thursday July 12, 2018 @07:57PM (#17519583)

Can anyone recommend an introduction to web architecture in the more general and less complex sense? I would like to learn about how the browser interacts with the server (I don't care about load balancing or caching for now), how JS interacts with HTML and CSS, how API's work?

I know a common architecture is JS in the browser making requests to the server and receives JSON and then renders it somehow. Sometime the server renders stuff itself and sends it to the browser, right?

And then there's possibly a database attached to the server.

How does all that work?

I wrote an article on learning web development, might be useful to you. Here's the link: https://medium.com/career-change-coder/how-i-broke-into-web-...

If you're only looking for high-level concepts, Crash Course has some good episodes about the workings of the internet.
