Study Notes
Web Browsers and URLs
- Browsers facilitate navigation across the web, allowing users to move between websites easily.
- Major browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari.
- A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the specific address for a webpage, comprised of two main components:
- Protocol: Indicates how to access a resource; HTTP is the most common for web traffic.
- Domain Name: Identifies the specific location of resources; the top-level domain (TLD) follows the final dot in the URL.
HTML and Web Pages
- Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the foundational markup language for creating web pages.
- Web pages contain information and links (hyperlinks) to related documents, potentially including text, graphics, audio, and video clips.
Cloud Computing
- Defined as delivering computing services (CPU, RAM, storage, etc.) over the internet rather than on-premise hardware.
- Examples of cloud service providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
- The analogy of cloud computing likens it to a bus carrying diverse passengers, where data is shared among different users efficiently.
- The term "cloud" originates from network design visuals used by engineers that appear cloud-like.
- Benefits include:
- Cost reduction for IT infrastructure.
- Enhanced performance and reduced maintenance.
- Instant software updates and improved compatibility.
- Effective backup, recovery, scalability, and increased data safety.
Types of Clouds
- Private Cloud: Dedicated to a single organization, useful for internal interactions.
- Community Cloud: Shared resources for a specific community or group of organizations.
- Public Cloud: Resources available to the public, commonly used for business-to-consumer interactions.
- Hybrid Cloud: Combines multiple cloud environments to serve both B2B and B2C interactions.
Internet vs. Web
- Internet: The physical infrastructure (wires, satellites) that connects numerous computers globally.
- Web: A multimedia interface providing access to resources on the internet, allowing communication, shopping, education, and entertainment.
Accessing the Internet
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) facilitate internet access, utilizing telephone lines, cable, or wireless connections.
- Major ISPs include PLDT, Globe, and Bayantel.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- Refers to a network of physical devices embedded with software and sensors, enabling data collection and exchange.
- Aims to create “smart” environments by connecting everyday devices to the internet.
- Core components include:
- Sensors/Devices: Collect environmental data.
- Connectivity: Transmission of data to cloud infrastructure via mobile or Wi-Fi networks.
- Data Processing: Analyzes collected data for insights.
- User Interface: Presents information to users, sometimes through notifications or alarms.
Challenges and Benefits of IoT
-
Challenges:
- Insufficient updates and testing.
- Data security and privacy concerns.
- Software complexities and high volumes of data to interpret.
-
Benefits:
- Enhanced technical optimization and improved data collection.
- Reduced waste through real-time data-driven decision-making.
- Improved customer engagement by promptly addressing issues.
Disadvantages of IoT
- Security vulnerabilities due to interconnected devices with potentially inadequate authentication.
- Privacy risks from extensive personal data exposure without user consent.
- Complexity in system design, making integration with diverse systems challenging.
