WWW

1. WORLD WIDE WEB
W.W.W stands for "World Wide Web." It is
important to know that this is not a
synonym for the Internet. The World Wide
Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people
call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web
consists of pages that can be accessed
using a Web browser. Web Browsers are
software installed on our PC. To access the
Web you need a web browsers, such as
Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet
Explorer Mozilla Firefox.

2. On the Web, when you navigate through
pages of information this is commonly
known as browsing or surfing. The
Internet is the actual network of networks
where all the information resides. Things
like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming, Internet
Relay Chat (IRC), and e-mail are all part
of the Internet, but are not part of the
World Wide Web. The Hyper-Text
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method
used to transfer Web pages to your
computer.

3. All Web pages are written in the hyper-
text markup language (HTML), which
works in conjunction with HTTP. With
hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a
link to another Web site, which is a
collection of various pages written in
HTML markup language. This is a
location on the web where people can
find tutorials on latest technologies.
Similarly, there are millions of websites
available on the web.

4. Each page available on the website is
called a web page and first page of any
website is called home page for that site.
Every Website sits on a computer known
as a Web server. This server is always
connected to the internet.
Every Web server that is connected to
the Internet is given a unique address
made up of a series of four numbers
between 0 and 256 separated by periods.
