    Study Notes

    Computer Networking

    • Networks consist of interconnected computers facilitating communication and resource sharing.
    • Internetworking connects distinct networks, creating a larger and more versatile network system.
    • The Internet is a global collection of interconnected networks, publicly accessible to users worldwide.

    Protocols

    • Protocols are rules governing data exchange in networks ensuring proper communication.
    • The Internet Protocol Suite, commonly referred to as TCP/IP, is foundational for internet and similar network operations.

    TCP/IP Model

    • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) operates on a higher layer, ensuring reliable and ordered delivery of messages.
    • IP (Internet Protocol) functions on a lower layer, addressing and routing packets of data.
    • IP addresses uniquely identify each device on a network, facilitating direct communication between them.

    Internet Addresses

    • Domain names translate IP addresses into human-readable text forms, simplifying internet navigation.
    • The World Wide Web utilizes the HTTP protocol, a system for structuring hyperlinks and documents, developed by Tim Berners-Lee.

    Web Technologies

    • Web browsers are applications that render and display information accessed from the web.
    • Web pages can contain text, images, videos, sounds, and hyperlinks, creating rich interactive experiences.

    HTML Basics

    • HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages.
    • Markup refers to the process of inserting formatting instructions in a document, typically using HTML tags enclosed in angle brackets.

    HTML Tags and Attributes

    • HTML tags categorize elements on a webpage; they range from heading tags (h1 to h6) defining text sizes to paragraph tags that manage text spacing.
    • Attributes provide additional formatting options to HTML tags, enhancing the functionality of the markup.

    Specific HTML Tags

    • Heading tags, numbered from 1 (highest) to 6 (lowest), define document structures.
    • Paragraph tags create space before and after text, improving readability.
    • Line break tags insert breaks in text for better formatting.
    • Blockquote tags indent text, emphasizing quotations.
    • Address tags display authorship information or contact details related to a web page.
    • Preformatted text tags maintain fixed-width font display while allowing tab and return formatting.
    • Center tags align text centrally for aesthetic appeal.

    Color Representation

    • The RGB color model, composed of Red, Green, and Blue, supports 256 colors for web use, ensuring consistent color display across different devices.
