Q

Describe the difference between the Internet and the Web

A

The Internet is infrastructure while the Web is service on top of that infrastructure. Alternatively, the Internet can be viewed as a big book-store while the Web can be viewed as collection of books on that store. At a high level, we can even think of the Internet as hardware and the Web as software!

The Internet is a public, globally connected network of computer networks. The Web is a graphical user interface to information stored on computers running web servers connected to the Internet. The Web is a subset of the Internet.

Q

Explain three events that contributed to the commercialization and exponential growth of the Internet.

A

The commercialization and exponential growth of the Internet that began in the early 1990s was due largely to a convergence of technologies, including the development of personal computers with graphical operating systems, widespread availability of Internet connection services, the removal of the restriction of commercial use on NSFnet, the development of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, and the development of a graphical browser (called Mosaic) at the NCSA. These events combined to provide the commercial incentive and an easy way to share and access information in a manner that had never been experienced.

Q

Is the concept of universal design important to web developers? Explain your answer.

A

Universal design is a very important concept for web developers because the websites that they create should be usable by all people. Not only is this the right thing to do, but in developing websites for the government or for educational institutions, access to technology (including websites) is mandated by law.

Q

Describe client server model

A

“Client/server” can also describe a relationship between two computer programs—the client and the server. The client requests some type of service (such as a file or database access) from the server. The server fulfills the request and transmits the results to the client over a network. While both the client and the server programs can reside on the same computer, typically they run on different computers

Q

. MIME provides for the exchange of ___ different media types on the Internet

41
Q

How does information get transferred from the web server to the web browser?

through the use of communication protocols such as HTTP, TCP, and IP

42
Q

___ are rules that describe how clients and servers communicate with each other over a network.

The purpose of TCP is to ensure the integrity of network communication. TCP starts by breaking files and messages into individual units called packets. These packets contain information such as the destination, source, sequence number, and checksum values used to verify the integrity of the data.

48
Q

what does IP do?

A

IP is a set of rules that controls how data is sent between devices on the Internet. IP routes a packet to the correct destination address. Once sent, the packet gets successively forwarded to the next closest router (a hardware device designed to move network traffic) until it reaches its destination.

49
Q

IPV4

A

These addresses consist of a set of four groups of numbers called octets. The current version of IP, Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), uses 32-bit (binary digit) addressing.

72
Q

Describe the components of the client/server model as applied to the Internet.

A

An example of a web client is a computer running a browser software application such as Internet Explorer. Typically, the computer is connected to the Internet only when needed. The web browser software uses HTTP to request web pages and related resources from a web server. A web server is a computer that is continually connected to the Internet and that runs some type of web server software application. It uses the HTTP protocol to receive requests for web pages and related resources. It responds to these requests and sends the resources.
