Web Developer 101-Use Web Servers to Build Sites on your PC

Setup your pc to start making websites on Apache & IIS Web Servers. Wordpress, Joomla Drupal, ASP.NET, NodeJS, etc..

Hello:

This class will cover a variety of ways to install and setup web servers on your pc so you can start making websites that can be locally viewed and tested. The ways covered will include:

• Installing an Apache Web Server on the Ubuntu version of the Linux operating system (many custom configurations to the server will also be covered)

• Installing an Apache Web Server included with XAMPP on a Linux operating system (custom configurations to the server will also be covered)

• Installing a Microsoft IIS Web Server on a Windows operating system (many custom configurations to the server will also be covered)

• Installing an Apache Web Server included with XAMPP on Windows (refer to the Apache Server videos on Linux for custom configurations)

After each server installation, I will detail how you can configure websites on each web server with things like password protection, virtual directories, url redirects, reverse proxies, and more.

Additionally, I will cover how to:

• Install website builders such as Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla on both the Apache and Microsoft IIS Servers

• Set up the ASP.NET core and NodeJS web development scripting frameworks on a Microsoft IIS Server

• Publish your websites when they are ready to be hosted the World Wide Web using affordable Hosting options such as Bluehost, CPanel, and Github (free).

• Use a paid web domain from GoDaddy for a website hosted on Github Pages

• Upload your local website files to your hosting provider using FileZilla and CPanel's File Manager

The course will also have several downloadable resources and a lengthy quiz at the end. I look forward to seeing you in the course.
