Tony's Tech Terms

Are you curious about what happens in one of our applications when you access it via a web browser?
  1. Accessing the Website: When you click a link or type a web address, your web browser sends a request to our server.
  2. Server Reception: Our server receives your request.
  3. Routing the Request: The server has a system (called a router) that figures out what to do with your request.
  4. Processing the Request: The router directs your request to a part of the application (called a controller) that knows how to handle it.
  5. Fetching Data: The controller uses a set of rules (called a model) to interact with our database and get the information you need.
  6. Sending Back the Data: The information is sent back through the controller which then sends a response to your web browser.
  7. Displaying the Web Page: Finally, your web browser receives the response and displays the web page for you.
