As interesting as this post was, it offered me a litany of things that I already knew about browsers and the web yet described them in ways that I had not yet understood. There were certain aspects of web browsers and the web itself that I knew about on a topical level, but the intricacies of each allowed me to tighten my grasp on the web as a whole and develop a new way of thinking for this class.
One concept from the blog that I came to understand on a deeper level was the complexity of website design and the variation in web languages needed to create a page. Originally, I assumed that entire websites (the content, structure, design, interface etc.) could be created with java code or html, but I was puzzled to learn about the necessity of using html and CSS to adequately design a website. The simplified interface associated with CSS allows programmers to create a template for their site, one that can be manifested on other pages allowing users to increase continuity while personalizing their pages.
Another topic that I learned about was one that I did not even know existed. The concept of creating a 3D website was completely foreign to me and still confusing in many ways. Upon reading the headline, I was baffled to assume that 3D webpages could be created, but upon further reading, I learned that it simply referred to an increased visualization atmosphere. This allows web designers to join different types of code and create a visual experience which can only be handled with greater bandwith speeds and enhanced browsers.
Still the 2D layout is the most common on basic webpages and information dominant websites, but the 3D still has a place in many games and videos, creating a more realistic internet experience. Ultimately, the idea of creating a real-life like webpage is appealing to web designers and the broadening of modern web design techniques has allowed this to occur. It is an exciting concept and one that will certainly lead to development of browsing capabilities out of my knowledge.
