OCR A Level Computer Science (H446)Specification point 1.3.4

OCR H446 1.3.4: Web Technologies

The free BugBot lesson that teach this point, a robot to try it on, and the past-paper questions that test it.

What it covers

A web page reaches your browser as three kinds of text: HTML for its content and structure, CSS for how it looks, and JavaScript for how it behaves. This lesson reads each, then asks where code should run: in the browser (client side) or on the web server (server side). The second half is about finding pages at all: how a search engine builds an index, and how Google's original PageRank algorithm decided which results to put first.
