What is network
A network is a structure in which information
and services are shared among devices
What is a host or a node?
A host or a node can be any device that is
capable of sending and/or receiving data
electronically
What is a server
A server is a host that provides information or a service to other devices on the network
What is a client
A computer or other device that receives a service is called a client
clients access information
provided by one or more users in a
client-server network
What is LAN
Local area network - A network confined to a small geographic area, such as within a building or department
What is a network confined to a small
geographic area, such as within a building or department?
Local area network
What is WAN?
Wide Area Network
A network that covers a wide area, such as
several buildings or cities, is called a
Wide Area Network
laid, the foundations for the World
Wide Web, or the Web, in 1989
Timothy Berners-Lee and other researchers
developed a system of interconnected
hypertext documents that allowed their users to
easily navigate from one topic to another
Timothy Berners-Lee and other researchers at the CERN nuclear research facility near Geneva, Switzerland
a method of organization in which
data sources are interconnected through a series of links or hyperlinks that users can activate to jump from one piece of information to another
Hypertext
Each document on the web is referred to as a
Web page
Web pages are stored on
Web server
Documents on the web are accessed through a software program called a
Web browser
A Web page is a text file written in
HTML
What is HTML
Hyper Text Markup Language
What is HTML
Hyper Text Markup Language
describes the content and
structure of a document by identifying, or tagging, different document elements
Markup Language
created a set of standards or specifications for all browser manufacturers to follow
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
In the early years of HTML, browser developers were free to define and modify the language as no rules or syntax were defined
True
The W3C has enforcement power
False, it doesn’t have
The W3C has enforcement power
False, it doesn’t have
The recommendations of the W3C are usually followed since a uniform approach to Web page creation is beneficial to everyone
True
a different version of HTML enforced with a stricter set of standards
XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language)
developed as the de facto standard for
the next generation of HTML
HTML5
developed as the de facto standard for
the next generation of HTML
HTML5
Older features of HTML are often
deprecated, or phased out; you may need to use them if you are supporting older browsers
Tools for Working with HTML
■Basic text editor such as Windows Notepad
■ Other HTML editors such as Notepad++, UltraEdit, CoffeeCup, BBEdit, and ConTEXT
■IDE (Integrated Development Environment) - A software package that provides comprehensive coverage of all phases of the development process from writing HTML code to creating scripts for programs running on web servers
■ Validators are programs that test code to ensure that it contains no syntax errors
A software package that provides comprehensive coverage of all phases of the development process from writing HTML code to creating scripts for programs running on web servers
IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
programs that test code to ensure
that it contains no syntax errors
Validators
The first line in an HTML file that indicates the type of markup language used in the document
the document type declaration, or doctype,
the fundamental building block in
every HTML document that marks an element in the document
Element tag
indicates the beginning of
an element
Starting tag
Indicates the ending of the element
Ending tag
The general syntax of a two-sided element tag is
<element>content</element>
are elements that are either nontextual (images) or contain directives to the browser about how the page should be treated
Empty elements
An HTML document is divided into two main sections:
Head and body
This element marks information about the
document
Head element
This element marks the content that will appear in the web page
Body element
