Description

This lecture introduces dynamic and interactive internet cartography, focusing on the influence of the internet on geographic information systems (GIS) and exploring the Web GIS theme. It covers client-server architectures, common port numbers, middleware, and localhost usage. Additionally, it delves into HTML and CSS for web pages, including common tags and elements. The lecture also discusses JavaScript for client-side scripting, the Document Object Model (DOM), and the Browser Object Model (BOM).
