    Study Notes

    Chapter 1: Introduction to WWW and the Internet

    • The World Wide Web (WWW) or Web are pages displayed on a device when online.
    • The Internet is a network of connected computers that the Web operates on. Each computer on the Internet has a unique address.
    • Examples of Internet addresses include 193.138.221.215, 193.138.221.211, 193.138.221.214, 193.138.224.213, 72.14.207.104, and 72.14.207.101.

    Outline

    • Internet technology and the World Wide Web (WWW)
    • Web application architecture.
    • Server concept and Web client.
    • Web Browser.
    • Evolution of the Internet and Web.
    • Analysis requirements and Web design.
    • Scripting, outline work, and Web platform.

    The History of the Internet and WWW

    • ARPANET (1969): An early networking precursor to the Internet.
    • Domain Name System (DNS): Developed in the 1980s, translating domain names (like example.com) to numerical IP addresses.
    • First graphical Web browser: WorldWideWeb, created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN.
    • The proposal and publication of the Web: (1989-1990).
    • First content-based search protocol (Gopher): Introduced in 1991.
    • First widely downloaded Internet browser (Mosaic): Released in 1993.
    • First webmail service (HoTMail): Launched in 1996.
    • Google launched: (1998).

    How the Web Works

    • Client-Server architecture: Clients request services, and servers respond with the service.

    The Internet Architecture

    • TCP/IP: A core protocol for the internet.
    • IP Address: A unique number for each computer on the network.
    • DNS: Translates domain names to IP addresses.
    • Internet Service: Provides access to the Internet.
    • WWW: The World Wide Web.
    • URL: A web address, including the protocol, domain, and path.
    • HTTP: The protocol for transferring web pages.

    Web Server

    • Software and hardware that respond to client requests using HTTP and other protocols.
    • Stores, processes, and delivers web pages.
    • Examples include Microsoft IIS, Apache, Nginx, and iPlanet Web Server.

    Communication Networks

    • The Internet relies on physical cables (copper wires, fiber optics).
    • Even wireless connections (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G/5G) use physical cables to connect to the Internet.

    Communication Protocols

    • A standard mechanism allowing dissimilar systems to communicate.
    • Often multiple protocols are involved in a single communication.
    • Common protocols include:
      • TCP/IP: Controls message assembly/disassembly
      • HTTP: Transfers web resources.
      • FTP: Transfers files

    Internet Protocol (IP) Address

    • Unique identifiers for devices on a computer network.
    • Public IP addresses: Assigned by ISPs, directly accessible on the internet.
    • Private IP addresses: Used in local networks.
    • IPv4 and IPv6: Two versions of IP addresses.

    Domain Name System (DNS)

    • A naming database locating and translating domain names to IP addresses.
    • Relies on a collection of servers.

    Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

    • The address of a unique resource on the web.
    • Consists of:
      • Scheme (protocol)
      • Authority (domain name)
      • Port
      • Path to file
      • Parameters
      • Anchor

    Web Page

    • A document written in HTML, viewed by web browsers.
    • Stored in a specific directory of a web server.
    • Contains text, graphics, videos, and hyperlinks.

    Website

    • A collection of related web pages containing text, images, audio, and video.
    • The first page is the home page.
    • Types of websites:
      • Static: Fixed codes, rarely changing content.
      • Dynamic: Content changes dynamically.

    Web Browser

    • Software that interprets and displays web pages, allowing users to interact with them.
    • Translates web pages (using HTTP) into readable content.
    • Displays web pages using HTML, and/or XML.
    • Examples include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

    Main features of Web Browsers:

    • Personalization
    • Search engines
    • Book-marks
    • Security settings

    Analysis Requirements and Web Design

    • Topics covered in a standard web development analysis:
      • Preferred platform/technology
      • Standard website layout
      • Design features (like logo, fonts)
      • Functionality
      • Space allocation (for content)
      • Header/footer layout
      • Contact forms

    Scripting, Outline Work, and Web Platform

    • Web scripting: Process of creating and embedding scripts in web pages.
    • Scripts are commands interpreted by a program (scripting engine).
    • Scripts can automate tasks or dynamically generate web pages.
    • Languages include VBScript, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, PERL, JSPs, and others.

    Open Discussion

    • Topics:
      • How the Web finds a specific web page.
      • Web functionality without search engines.
      • Benefits of using the WWW.
