Step 1: Assess and secure your existing resources

Ask your supervisor what hardware and software is available for you to perform your Web development tasks.

For existing sites: Determine the name of the server, the server's administrator, the Web server software installed on it, and what other capabilities the server has, such as PHP, ASP, JSP, HTTPS, SSH, and so forth.
