Study Notes
ARPANET and Early Networking
- ARPANET was developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).
- The first computer virus, known as "Creeper," was sent in the early 1970s.
- The first public packet-switched computer network was ARPANET.
Development of Email and Browsers
- Email communication and information exchange became possible on ARPANET in 1972.
- The first web browser was called "WorldWideWeb," created by Tim Berners-Lee.
- Internet Explorer, introduced by Microsoft in 1995, replaced Netscape Navigator, the primary browser at the time.
Local Area Network (LAN) Details
- LAN stands for Local Area Network.
- Setting up a LAN in a house allows for resource sharing, such as printers and internet connections, among multiple devices.
Interconnecting Networks
- The network technology that connects two or more LANs together is known as Wide Area Network (WAN) technology.
- Routers in a WAN direct traffic between networks and manage data packets to ensure efficient communication.
Internet Service Providers and Web Development
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) exchange information at networking points called internet exchange points (IXPs).
- Static web pages are manually coded and update only when changes are made directly to the code.
- Dynamic web pages provide content that updates regularly, commonly found in news sites or blogs.
File Management and Web Standards
- Knowing file extensions is important for understanding file types, compatibility, and proper application usage.
- Responsive web design refers to webpages that adapt their layout and content based on the device and screen size being used.
Web Standards and Protocols
- The rapid innovation and development of browsers led to compatibility issues and fragmented web standards.
- Protocols are sets of rules used for communication between partners, ensuring consistent data exchange.
- The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for assigning IP addresses.
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the primary publishing language of the World Wide Web, frozen at version 4.01 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
