Bootstrap Basics: Program Responsive Websites

Python is a general-purpose programming language that became the standard interface for driving numerical and machine-learning code written in other languages.

Git is a distributed version control system that records the history of a set of files as a graph of snapshots, lets many people work on branches of that history at once, and merges their work back together.

HTTP is the request-and-response protocol of the web: a client sends a method, a path and headers, a server answers with a status code, headers and a body, and each exchange stands alone unless the two sides agree to carry state in a header.

DNS is the distributed lookup system that turns a hostname such as getting-digital.net into the IP address a browser can connect to, by walking a chain of nameservers whose answers are then cached for a lifetime the domain's owner publishes.

SSL/TLS is the protocol that encrypts the connection between a browser and a server and, by way of a certificate signed by a certificate authority, proves the server is entitled to answer for the domain in the address bar.

A domain name is an address in the internet's public namespace that you rent through a registrar for a yearly fee, and it remains yours only while the registrar account holding it stays paid up and under your own control.
