Understanding the World Wide Web WWW • WWW is a system of Internet servers that supports hypertext to access several Internet protocols on a single interface.

• Developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee of the European Particle Physics Lab in Switzerland.

•The initial purpose of the Web was to use networked hypertext to facilitate communication among its members, who were located in several countries.

•The use of the Web has now reached global proportions.

7

Internet protocols • Sets of rules that allow for inter machine communication on the Internet. The following major protocols are accessible on the Web: E-mail (Simple Mail Transport Protocol or SMTP) – Distributes electronic messages and files to one or more electronic mailboxes Telnet (Telnet Protocol) – Facilitates login to a computer host to execute commands 8

Internet protocols contd..

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Transfers text or binary files between an FTP server and client • Usenet (Network News Transfer Protocol or NNTP) • Distributes Usenet news articles derived from topical discussions on newsgroups • HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) This is the protocol

of the WWW.

• Transmits hyper text over networks.

9

HYPERTEXT: THE MOTION OF THE WEB • The operation of the Web relies primarily on hypertext as its means of information retrieval.

• Hyper Text is a document containing words that connect to other documents.

• These words are called links and are selectable by the user.

• A single hypertext document can contain links to many documents.

10

HYPER TEXT: contd… • Overall, the WWW contains a complex virtual web of connections among a vast number of documents, graphics, videos, and sounds.

• Producing hypertext for the Web is accomplished by creating documents with a language called Hyper Text Markup Language, or HTML.

11

PAGES ON THE WEB • The World Wide Web consists of files, called pages or Web pages, containing information and links to resources throughout the Internet.

• The web pages can be created either by using HTML tags or by using some ready made software.

• One can create web pages very easily by using MS word.

12

Access to Web pages Access to Web pages may be accomplished by: • Entering an Internet address and retrieving a page directly • Browsing through pages and selecting links to move from one page to another • Searching through subject directories linked to organized collections of Web pages • Entering a search statement at a search engine to retrieve pages on the topic of your choice 13

RETRIEVING DOCUMENTS ON THE WEB: URL

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. • The URL specifies the Internet address of a file stored on a host computer connected to the Internet. • Every file on the Internet, no matter what its access protocol, has a unique URL. 14

THE URL Contd..

• Web software programs use the URL to retrieve the file from the host computer and the directory in which it resides. This file is then displayed on the monitor connected to the user's local machine.

• URLs are translated into numeric addresses using the Internet Domain Name System (DNS).

15

THE URL Contd..

• The numeric address is actually the "real" URL.

Since numeric strings are difficult for humans to use, alphanumeric addresses are employed by end users.

• Once the translation is made, the Web server can send the requested page to the user's Web browser.

16

• Protocol: http Anatomy of a URL protocol://host/path/filename http://www.house.gov/agriculture/schedule.htm

Structure of this URL:

• Host computer name: www • Second-level domain name: house • Top-level domain name: gov • Directory name: agrictulture • File name: schedule.htm 17

Several top-level domains (TLDs) common in the United States: • com - commercial enterprise • edu - educational institution • gov - U.S. government entity • mil - U.S. military entity • net - Network access provider • org - Usually nonprofit organizations 18

HOW TO ACCESS THE WORLD WIDE WEB?

• To access the World Wide Web, you must use a Web browser. • A browser is a software program that allows users to access and navigate the World Wide Web.

• There are two types of browsers: Graphical Text 19

Web Designing Contd...

• Introduction • The process • Text documents • Stored on a web hosting computer 20

Web Designing

INTRODUCTION A web page is a text document stored on a web hosting computer, delivered by a web server, and viewable by a web browser.

21

Web Designing

THE PROCESS

• Create first web page using a template – driven page builder • Learn to write some simple HTML commands.

• Learn to link images to your text and link to other websites.

• Obtain web space to store your pages.

• Publish or upload the pages to the Web 22

Web Designing-key points

• Using frames • Under construction signs • Misusing graphics 23

Web Designing-key points

 Ransom notes fonts  Complex backgrounds  Too many animations 24

Web Designing-key points

 Orphan pages  No organization 25

Web Designing-key points

 No unique content  Too many ideas  No authoritativeness 26

Web Designing-key points

 Out dated links for information  Negative declarations  Link problems 27

IV. Creating Web Pages using MS (word) • Starting with Web pages • Links • Background • Verification of Web pages using browser 28

V. Important terms used in Web Page Making

• Index files – index. Html • Web files • Home files – home. Htm • Toc frame – toc. Htm • Hyperlinks 29

Important terms used in Web Page Making

Index files – Index. Html It is nothing but a file which links all the files Home files – Home. Htm It is linked with the index file directly TOC Frame – TOC. Htm It is nothing but the table of content which will remain unalter throughtout the web page Hyperlinks Only through this all the files are linked together.
