Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Introducing the World Wide Web A network is a structure linking computers together for the purpose of sharing resources such as printers and files Users typically access a network through a computer called a host or node A computer that makes a service available to a network is called a server

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Introducing the World Wide Web A computer or other device that requests services from a server is called a client One of the most common network structures is the client-server network If the computers that make up a network are close together (within a single department or building), then the network is referred to as a local area network (LAN) MAN? WAN?

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Introducing the World Wide Web A network that covers a wide area, such as several buildings or cities, is called a wide area network (WAN) The largest WAN in existence is the Internet In its early days, the Internet was called ARPANET and consisted of two network nodes located at UCLA and Stanford, connected by a phone line

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Introducing the World Wide Web Today the Internet has grown to include hundreds of millions of interconnected computers, cell phones, PDAs, televisions, and networks The physical structure of the Internet uses fiber-optic cables, satellites, phone lines, and other telecommunications media

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Structure of the Internet

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) The Development of the Word Wide Web Timothy Berners-Lee and other researchers at the CERN nuclear research facility near Geneva, Switzerland laid the foundations for the World Wide Web, or the Web, in 1989 They developed a system of interconnected hypertext documents that allowed their users to easily navigate from one topic to another Hypertext is a method of organizing information that gives the reader control over the order in which the information is presented

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Hypertext Documents When you read a book, you follow a linear progression, reading one page after another With hypertext, you progress through pages in whatever way is best suited to you and your objectives Hypertext lets you skip from one topic to another

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Linear versus hypertext documents

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Hypertext Documents The key to hypertext is the use of hyperlinks (or links) which are the elements in a hypertext document that allow you to jump from one topic to another A link may point to another section of the same document, or to another document entirely A link can open a document on your computer, or through the Internet, a document on a computer anywhere in the world

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Hypertext Documents, Web Servers and Web Browsers An entire collection of linked documents is referred to as a Web site The hypertext documents within a Web site are known as Web pages Individual pages can contain text, audio, video, and even programs that can be run remotely A Web page is stored on a Web server, which in turn makes it available to the network To view a Web page, a client runs a software program called a Web browser, which retrieves the page from the server and displays it

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) Using a browser to view a Web document from a Web server

Dr. Chen, Management Information Systems (Web#2) HTML: The Language of the Web A Web page is a text file written in a language called Hypertext Markup Language A markup language is a language that describes a document’s structure and content HTML is not a programming language or a formatting language Styles are format descriptions written in a separate language from HTML that tell browsers how to render each element. Styles are used to format your document
