have these advancements changed user interaction with web applications?
• Discuss how the evolution of web technologies has improved the performance and
functionality of web applications.
• What were the limitations of Web 1.0, and how did Web 2.0 address these limitations?
• Compare and contrast Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 in terms of user participation, data security, and
decentralization.
2. Client-Server Architecture
• Define the client-server architecture and explain its importance in web development. Give an
example of how it is implemented in modern web applications.
• Describe the roles of the client and server in a typical client-server architecture and discuss
how they interact with each other during a web request.
• Explain the concept of statelessness in client-server architecture and discuss its impact on
scalability and performance.
• What are the key differences between two-tier and three-tier client-server architectures in
web applications?
3. RESTful API Principles
• Define RESTful API and explain the principles that make an API RESTful. Why is REST preferred
in modern web development?
• Explain the significance of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) in RESTful API design and
give examples of their usage.
• Discuss the importance of statelessness in RESTful APIs. How does it impact the scalability and
security of a web application?
• What are the key benefits of using RESTful APIs in web applications? How do they improve the
interaction between the front-end and back-end systems?
4. Microservices and Their Benefits
• What are microservices, and how do they differ from traditional monolithic architecture in
web development?
• Explain the advantages of microservices architecture over monolithic systems in terms of
scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance.
• Discuss how microservices enable independent deployment and scaling of web application
components. Provide examples.
 • Explain the role of APIs in microservices architecture. How do they facilitate communication
between different services?
5. Introduction to Front-End and Back-End Technologies
• Define front-end and back-end development. How do these layers interact to deliver a
seamless user experience?
• Compare front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with back-end technologies
such as Node.js, Django, and Flask. What are their respective roles in web development?
• Explain the importance of back-end technologies in managing databases, user authentication,
and server-side logic in a web application.
• How do modern front-end frameworks like React or Angular complement back-end
technologies to create dynamic and responsive web applications?
 UNIT 2
• Explain the significance of semantic markup in HTML5 and how it improves web
accessibility and SEO.
• Describe how CSS3 modern layout techniques, such as Flexbox and Grid, have
revolutionized web page design compared to traditional layout methods.
• Discuss the advantages of using front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue for
web development. Provide examples where they enhance efficiency in building
dynamic web applications.
• What are the key principles of building responsive web interfaces? Explain how media
queries in CSS3 facilitate responsive design.
• Explain how cross-browser compatibility issues can affect the performance of web
applications. How can developers test and resolve these issues effectively?
• Illustrate the role of HTML5 in enhancing multimedia content on websites. Provide
examples of new elements and attributes introduced in HTML5 that help with this.
• Compare and contrast Flexbox and CSS Grid layout systems in terms of use cases and
flexibility in designing responsive layouts.
• How do front-end frameworks contribute to component-based architecture in web
development? Use examples from React or Angular to explain.
• Describe the process of ensuring cross-browser compatibility in modern web
development. How do tools like BrowserStack or cross-browser testing frameworks
assist in this?
• Discuss the importance of responsive web design in the current digital landscape. How
does it impact user experience across different devices?
• Explain the concept of semantic markup in HTML5. How does it contribute to web
accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO)?
• Discuss how CSS3 Flexbox and Grid layout techniques improve the process of creating
responsive web designs compared to traditional float-based layouts.
• Describe the benefits of using front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue for
building modern web applications. Include an example of a problem they solve
efficiently.
• What are media queries in CSS3? Explain how they help in creating responsive web
interfaces across different devices and screen sizes.
• What is cross-browser compatibility, and why is it important in front-end development?
Suggest some techniques or tools to ensure a consistent user experience across different
browsers.
• How do HTML5 and CSS3 work together to enhance multimedia content on websites?
Give examples of new HTML5 elements and CSS3 properties that support multimedia.
• Discuss the role of CSS preprocessors like SASS or LESS in managing large-scale
responsive design projects. How do they improve CSS development?
• How does the virtual DOM in React differ from the real DOM, and why is it beneficial
for building dynamic and responsive web interfaces?
• Compare and contrast the use of Flexbox and CSS Grid for layout design. When would
you choose one over the other in a responsive design project?
• What are the common challenges in achieving cross-browser compatibility, and how
can developers test and fix these issues? Provide specific examples of tools used for
cross-browser testing?
