Introducing the World Wide Web History and Structure
2
Competencies Covered Standard 1.0Demonstrate knowledge of the Internet and various terms, tools, and utilities associated with the World Wide Web. 1.1 Illustrate the relationship of Web related terms to Web design and software applications. Standard 8.0Examine characteristics, components, and functions of basic network designs. 8.1 Illustrate how computers are connected (both wireless and physical) to form a local area network (LAN). 8.2 Differentiate between peer-to-peer and server-based networks. 8.3 Examine considerations involved in implementing servers in peer-to-peer and server-based networks.
3
I CAN... Define Web design terms Draw an example of a LAN Draw an example of a WAN List advantages of Peer-to-peer networks List disadvantages of Peer-to-peer networks List advantages of server based networks List disadvantages of server based networks
4
Definition of World Wide Web AKA The “Web” “Web” Define the World Wide Web in your own terms…
5
Definition of World Wide Web Combination of: Software Services Protocols Documents
6
Book Definitions Software that sends information that is stored in files along the Internet’s hardware; A service that uses the Internet to transmit hyperlinked documents; Documents or Web Pages stored on the Internet connected by HTTP
7
Definition of World Wide Web The complete set of electronic documents stored on computers that are connected over the Internet and are made available by the protocol known as HTTP dictionary.com
8
Definition of Internet AKA “Net” Define “Internet” in your own terms… http://www.learnthenet.com/learn-the- basics/ - Videos http://www.learnthenet.com/learn-the- basics/
9
Book Definitions Hardware, such as computers, cables, and telephone wires, that are connected to create a massive worldwide network The global network of computers used for communications (components include email, FTP, and the Web) A collection of networks where users gain access to services such as email, FTP, etc
10
Definition of Internet A vast computer network of smaller networks connected to create a large network that uses network protocols to facilitate data exchange
11
Differences World Wide Web and Internet are NOT the same World Wide Web – documents and software (web pages, email software, etc) Internet – interconnected hardware (computers, cables & wires, etc.)
12
Internet: Collection of Networks Computers that are linked together via a medium Phone Cable Fiber Satellites, etc.
13
Internet: Collection of Networks Purposes Share resources Printers Files
14
Internet: Collection of Networks Access networks via Host or a Node
15
Intranet A local or restricted communications network A private network created using WWW software Used in small or large businesses, college campuses, etc. May be composed of multiple LANs
16
Extranet In contrast with intranet May also be accessed by customers, suppliers, or other approved parties Extends a private network (intranet) Provides outsiders authentication or authorization to access a private network Allows collaboration, project management & builds customer relations
17
Networks Server High speed computers Store information and resources to be shared Clients Individual computers in a network
18
Networks LAN Local Area Network A network that links computers that are close together or in a single location such as Department Floor Building
19
Networks WAN Wide Area Network Network that connects computers across a wide geographical area such as Buildings across town Cities or even Regions Internet is the largest WAN in existence
20
Peer to Peer Networking aka P2P Network Both suppliers and consumers of resources Made popular by file sharing systems like Napster Users decide who gets access Designed for a small number of computers (10-15)
21
Networks Client-Server network Servers and clients connected together Servers answer requests from clients Server is optimized to answer requests quickly Files are centrally located Better levels of security Internet system is based on this type of network
22
ACTIVITY Find your partner On a clean sheet of paper draw an example of how you think the Internet looks. Remember – the Internet is the largest WAN – made up of smaller LANS Multiple LANS Server(s) Client(s) Printer(s) Medium(s)
23
History of the Internet Forerunner of today’s Internet ARPAnet - Advanced Research Projects Agency Network Established in 60’s for military and scientific use Two network nodes between UCLA and Stanford University Connected by a phone line
24
ARPANET Main purpose – to maintain communications in case of a nuclear war or natural disaster This was tested during the Gulf War when the Iraqis were able to maintain communications Not the Internet we know today Difficult to navigate – not “user friendly” Knowledgeable in terms and commands Complicated interface
25
Development of the Internet Concept attributed to J.C.R. Licklider Professor at MIT 1962 described a future “Galactic Network” of linked computers that would enable everyone access to computer resources Many industry experts considered it a waste of time and did not support his idea Licklider went to work for ARPA
26
Creation of WWW Attributed to Tim Berners-Lee 89-91 Frustrated/Difficult retrieving phone numbers and documents Developed new protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Enable communication between a client and server
27
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Protocol (set of rules) used by the Web to transport Web files from a Web Server to a Web browser
28
Hyperlinks (Links) Parts of hypertext that allow you to jump from one document/topic to another Another spot in the same document A completely different document Your computer Another computer anywhere in the world
29
Web Pages & Sites Hypertext documents make up Web Pages – individual text documents/files created with HTML tags to display properly in a Web browser Web Pages make up Web Sites – Collection of Web pages with a common theme or purpose
30
Web Pages & Sites Evolved from simple pages of text only To complex sites with graphics and multimedia to make purchases, download music, get current stock quotes
31
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Code Used to create Web pages
32
Web Browsers To see web pages – must use Web Browser Software used to retrieve, interpret, and display Web content on a user’s PC
33
Text based browsers First browsers Text only No pictures or graphics Second generation of browsers Graphical based Support text, pictures, graphics, and sound WEB BROWSERS
34
MOSAIC Mosaic - world’s first well-known browser Responsible for making the World Wide Web popular Without it – the average person may never have heard of the web Major achievement - Put a graphical user interface (GUI) on the web Linked sites using hypertext
35
GUI – Graphical User Interface Pronounces “Gooey” Allows users to communicate by clicking on pictures – aka icons Both Windows and Macintosh systems use a GUI interface
36
Browsers Today Two dominate Web browsers Originally Netscape Navigator/Communicator Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Other browsers have caught up Firefox Browsers are similar on all types of computer systems – Unix, Windows, Macintosh
