Hi,
Great tutorials and resources on this website. Thank you.
I'm new to web development and have over the past few months been learning basic HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT. I struggled to understand JS in the beginning but I think I'm beginning to understand the basics and would like to progress further.
Alongside this I am keen to improve my knowledge not only of coding but of general IT and computer systems and was wondering if you could recommend a reference book? To be honest I am quite behind a lot of people in terms of IT knowledge which worries me. In my workplace where my job is currently non-IT related I am often asked to help others, but this is mostly basic stuff (how to unzip a file etc) and a lot of the time I have no idea! I obviously understand the basic functions of computers, but things like LAN v DSN networks, how hardware works (ie. how does it process code to make software run), remote access, networks in general, servers, diagnosing/ understanding faults and basic error messages etc go completely over my head.
Is there such a book which would be more useful for web developers which explains how servers fit into the web system, when they are necessary, how data exchanges work, how many/ size servers, maintenance etc?
