HTML5 and CSS3 Fundamentals

HTML5 and CSS3 Fundamentals Background Every Web Developer Needs to Know Introduction In this article I'll describe the World Wide Web from a high level perspective, focusing on how a web page is request and delivered from a web server to a web browser. Then, I want to talk about web browsers, how they interpret the HTML you write, differences between browsers, what are standards and to paraphrase the old joke "if Standards are so great, why are there so many of them?" Finally, I'll talk about the thought process behind HTML5 and CSS3, why they were introduced and what they hope to achieve.

What is PHP?

What is PHP? PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor ) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

The natural/biology theories and social/cultural theories of gender

Discuss the debate between the natural/biology theories and social/cultural theories of gender. Since the 1950s, an increasing use of the term gender has been seen in the academic literature and the public discoursefor distinguishing gender identity from biological sex. Gender can be defined as what a person says or does to reveal that he or she has the status of being boy or girl, man or woman (masculinity or femininity of a person). Gender is a complex issue, constituents of which encompass styles of dressing, patterns of moving as well as ways of talking rather than just being limited to biological sex. Over the years, the perception of the issue ‘gender’ has been changing and developing from essentialism to social constructionism. Essentialism suggests that gender is a biological sex, by contrast, social constructionism suggests that gender is constructed within a social and cultural discourse. Due to its complex nature, gender intrigues numerous debates over the extent to which
