1. UNIT 13
The World Wide Web

2. Introduction

3. Introduction The World Wide Web:
Commonly referred to as WWW or the Web.
Is a service on the Internet. It consists of sets of linked documents known as WebPages which can be viewed using a program called a browser.

4. Web address of a webpage:
Hyperlinks:
Are the links on a webpage that contain the web address of the webpage that will be displayed if the user clicks on the link.
Web address of a webpage:
Also known as URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
It consists of a number of separate parts divided by forward slashes(/).
Example :

5. Webpage filename extension Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Domain Name Extension:
Indicates type of domain.
Country Code: Indicating the location of the computer where the webpage is stored.
Webpage filename extension
Protocol prefix:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
is an agreed communications standard for WebPages should be used to transfer the webpages across the Internet.
Web service:
World Wide Web document (webpage)
Domain Name:
Indicates the network domain in which the webpage is stored.
The path of the directory or folder where the webpage is stored on the server
The name of the webpage file
HTML= Hypertext markup language

6. IP address (Internet Protocol address ) :
An IP Address is like a computer's home address.
It’s a unique 32-bit number identifying each node on a network e.g
Domain Name:
An identifier used on the Internet in place of the numerical Internet IP address.
It identifies the host, the type and the country code, e.g. pnu.edu.sa
Nodes:
A network terminal or point where a computer is connected to a network.

7. Domain Name System (DNS):
A system of associating the name of a device on a network such as the Internet with its numerical address so that the name can be used by the user and the numerical address can be used by the network system.
Domain Name Server (DNS Server):
A network server computer used for operating and controlling the domain name system.
Web server computer:
The computer storing the web pages.

8. Why do we use domain names?
If there were no “domain names”, the user must enter the (IP Address) of the website !
Some of the more important reasons we use domain names instead of IP Address include:
These numbers are not very user friendly and hard for most people to understand.
IP address don't tell you much about what the service or site is.
The numbers can be easily mistaken.

9. What happens when we input a domain name?
When you type in a web address, a long series of events happen in a very few seconds.
When a user clicks on a hyperlink on a webpage, or type a web address “e.g. in the browser address bar and press "Enter", the computer begins the following process:
The browser program sends a request for pnu.edu.sa to your Internet Service Provider. Each ISP has a Domain Name System Server.
The DNS Server look up the IP address of the remote Web Server Computer given in the URL . The DNS Server has a stored table of names and addresses of nodes on the Internet.

10. The request for the linked webpage is then sent to a router that uses the Internet IP address obtained from the DNS server to route the request (decide on the best Internet path to send the request).
The message requesting the webpage is divided up into small sections called packets and each separate data packet is passed from router to router until they all reach the remote web server where they are put back together again.
The remote web server sends the requested webpage back to your computer in a similar way using your computer IP address.
When the packets arrive to your computer, they are combined and the requested webpage is displayed in the browser.

12. Search Engines Search engine:
A facility on the Internet that can be used to search for other websites.
It uses special programs to collect information about websites on the web and stores the information in a database.
Database: a type of applications program used for storing information so that it can be easily searched and sorted.

13. Search Engines To search using a search engine:
The user types keywords into a text box called a search box.
The search engine then displays a list of website links that are relevant to the given keywords.
Keywords can be used to form search phrases by putting quotation marks around the key words and they can be combined in different ways using logical operators such as OR, AND, NEAR
Sometimes, symbols such as + or – can be used to represent the operators.

14. Search Engines
Special symbols known as wildcards can also be used with keywords. They represent certain characters or combinations of characters.
For example, an asterisk (*) is often used to represent any combination of characters.
A search for ’col*’ would look for any word beginning with ’col’.
As well as keywords searches, search engine can be used for field searches. This allows the user to search webpage fields such as the title field of a web page or the web address(URL).

15. The user can store the links to useful websites using bookmark facility in the browser program used to view the WebPages.
Homepage:
The web page that is set to be displayed when the browser program is first started.
The user can return to it by clicking the homepage button in the toolbar at the top of the browser program.

16. Video Streaming
Because a video signal contains so much data, it is difficult to download it from an Internet server in real time i.e. so that it can be viewed immediately without any delays or gaps.
The connection would need to have a huge bandwidth (signal capacity).
One way of doing this with a normal Internet connection involves using a section of memory as a storage buffer.

17. Video Streaming
Storage buffer: a storage area for temporarily storing data from a fast source so that it can be fed at a steady rate to a slower system.
This allows part of the video signal to be downloaded and stored so that the user can begin to view the video before it is completely downloaded.
Feeding the video signal from the storage buffer to the display makes space in the storage buffer for more of the video to be downloaded.

18. Video Streaming
Therefore, as the user is watching the first part of the video, the next part is being downloaded into the storage buffer.
The video can therefore be shown to the user at a steady rate.
This method of downloading video signals using a storage buffer to obtain a steady display is known as Streaming.

Stage 2:
The DNS server finds the IP address of the URL Web server.
It sends the IP address to the browser.
Stage 3:
The browser uses the IP address to request the webpage.
It sends the request in a series of data packets via a router.
The router determines the best route for each packet.
The web sever puts the packets together again.

24. [4] Listening
Stage 4
The web server sends the requested page to the browser computer in the same way.
The browser combines the packets to form the page.

25. Language Work: Time clauses
What is the relationship between each of these pairs of actions ? 1: A: you click on a URL . B: your browser sends it to a DNS server . 2: A : The packets are passed from router to router . B : They reach the web server 3: A : The packets may travel by different routes . B : They reach the web server . 4: A : The individual packets reach the web server . B : They are put back together again .

26. Language Work: Time clauses
Each pair of actions is linked in time. we can show how actions are linked in time by using time clauses. 1. We can use when to show that one action happens immediately after another action : For example: When you click on a URL, your browser sends it to a DNS server. 2.We can use once in place of when to emphasise the completion of the first action. It often occurs with the present perfect. For example : Once the DNS server has found the IP address, it sends the address back to the browser.

27. Language Work: Time clauses
3. We can use until to link an action and the limit of that action: For example: The packets are passed from router to router until they reach the web server. 4. We can use before to show that one action precedes another: The packets may travel by different routes before they reach the Web server. If the subjects are the same in both actions, we can use a participle : The packets may travel by different routes before reaching

28. Language Work: Time clauses
5.We can use as to link two connected actions happening at the same time: For example: As the individual packets reach the Web server, they are put back together again.

29. [5 ] link each pair of actions using a time clause.
1: When you use a search engine, it provides a set of links related to you search 2:With POP3, is stored on the server until you check your account. 3: Once/When you have clicked on a hyperlink, you have to wait for the webpage to be copied to your computer. 4: As you listen to the first part of a streamed audio file, the next part is downloading 5: The graphics can be displayed gradually as the webpage is downloaded. 6: After/ When you receive an message, you can forward it to another address.

30. [5 ] link each pair of actions using a time clause.
7: When you click on a hyperlink, the browser checks to see if the linked webpage is stored in the cache. 8: You can bookmark a webpage to make it easier to find in the future when you find one you like. 9: After you type in a web address, you should press the Enter key. 10: When you click on the home button, the browser displays your starting webpage .
