Q

what are the pros and cons of having one centralized computer connected to all other computers in the network

A

Con: if a side computer wants to to get to another side computer, it must first go through central computer.
if something happens to central computer… network is screwed
Pro: simple layout and you only have to keep all info on one machine
if one of the side computers goes down, it doesn’t affect all other machines in the network

Q

what are the pros and cons of having a peer to peer connected network (where each computer is connected to two other computers, kind of forming a circle)
everyone is on the same level

A

Pros: if one computer goes down, there is a secondary path for the other computers, just going the other way around in the circle
Cons: if two computers go down, then you can’t access all computers - not the most reliable system

Q

what does the internet use

A

uses TCP/IP
TCP/IP has no direct line at the outset of the message! If a communication line is broken, another line is tried.
A standard protocol (way of communicating),
Opposite of your home telephone where you get a direct line that only you and the person you are talking to can use.

Q

how does the internet work using TCP IP

describe process

A
  1. it breaks things down into packets
    tcp takes the info (eg email) and breaks it down into packets (all of equal size)
    each packet has a header (where theyre coming and where are they going - IP address of source and destination) and a body containing the information transferred.
  2. tcp then sends it out to the internet, sending the packet to the first IP Address on the route… were each packet can take various routes but the all end up at the same location
    TCP DOESNT PREPLAN ROUTE
  3. tcp reassembles the info as it arrives at the destination

Q

What does TCP do at the receiving end

A

Detects lost packets, packets with errors because of network congestion, traffic load balancing, or other unpredictable network behaviour, and requests the packet to be resent from the source
Rearranges and reassembles the packets back into the webpage, email message, etc on the receivers machine

Q

describe packet switching

A

TCP breaks webpage into packets of bytes
TCP figures out IP address of where it wants to send the packets (destination)
TCP figures out IP address of where the packet is coming from (source)
Sends off each packet to first machine (IP Address) on the route (DOES NOT PREPLAN ROUTE!)
Packet stops at first machine, likely a router, then the router sends it to the next machine on the journey (IP Address) and so on until it gets to the final IP Address (destination)

25
what does TCP NOT know in terms of its packets
its ROUTE. it only knows the next destination and the source
26
what is a pro to the using of packet switching
if one packet gets delayed on a route, you can just resend it a different route
27
what is IP and what does it do
the way to identify each computer - Address Each machine has its own address, called an IP Address Like a GPS Picks a route for a packet, stopping at routers which pick the next best machine/network to send the package to. If a communication line is down or broken, sends the package back to TCP and TCP sends it again to try a different route.
28
IP address format
represented in dotted quad | uses numbers from 0-255
29
what is the bit size of an IP address
32 bits, always
30
what is great about ip addresses
reliability - you can ping an IP address to see if it is working
31
why is a phone number 7 digits
thats the max that is easy for humans to remember... so its hard to rememebr ip adresses so they created domain names
32
in 1973...
IP Address became the standardized way to identify machines on the Internet.
33
in 1984
University of Wisconsin came up with a name server, that maps a name to an IP address.
34
in 1985
Domain Name System is established and the initial top level domain names are introduced.
35
in 1990
the Internet moves beyond of the world of the government and universities and into the commercial society.
36
in 1995
Up until 1995, you didn’t have to pay for your domain name, 1995 to 1998 you paid the NSF (National Science Foundation) $100 US dollars for a 2 year registration for a domain name.
37
in 1998
In 1998 the assignment of domain name is opened up to private companies to encourage competition.
38
how does a domain name work
``` Every machine on the internet gets an IP Address A DNS (Domain Name System) maps the domain name to the correct IP address. In most cases there is a one to one mapping between an IP Address and a Domain Name ```
39
can an IP address map to more than one domain name?
yes Sometimes one IP Address might maps to more than one domain name: eg chapters.ca and indigo.ca have the same IP address
40
can a domain have many IP addresses?
yes, if traffic is too overwhelming when pointing to a certain website
41
what does a domain name identify
a web server identify machines on the Internet, for example a web server machine.
42
what does a web server contain
contains all the web pages for a company or individual.
43
where are web pages stored
on the web server machine (host) in folders or directories (website)
44
what is a host
machine (web server) that stores web pages
45
web page is a... web site is a... web server is a...
web page is a... file web site is a... folder/directory web server is a... machine/host
46
a web site is really a
folder
47
web pages are
files with the extension (ex .html)
48
when and who established the convention that we use for web page URL
Tim Berners Lee in 1990
49
what does the http part of url mean
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http) Rules on data is exchanged between servers and browsers Other examples: ftp://, news:// http://www.uwo.ca/its/courses/spring.html
50
what does the www in a url mean
World Wide Web Indicates we are referring to the world wide web http://www.uwo.ca/its/courses/spring.html
51
where is the domain name in a url and what does it indicate
Domain Name The name of the site, points to the web server machine it is after the www. http://www.uwo.ca/its/courses/spring.html
52
where is the folder name and what does it do in a url
``` Folder a folder on the web server machine separated from domain name by a / http://www.uwo.ca/its/courses/spring.html its and courses are folders ```
53
where is the file located and what does it mean
after all the folders
54
what does DNS stand for
Domain Names Systems (DNS)
55
what is DNS
A Domain Name System/Server (DNS) maps the domain name to the IP Address. Like a big phone book of Domain Names and IP Addresses
56
what is a subdomain
``` anything before the last . after the www http://www.csd.uwo.ca www is not part of domain name, it is just the machine/host name that is the webserver csd is a third level domain (subdomain of uwo.ca) uwo is a second level domain (subdomain) the domain is uwo.ca the second level domain is uwo and the top level domain is .ca ```
57
what is the third level subdomain | http://www.csd.uwo.ca
csd
58
in this case, what is www | http://www.csd.uwo.ca
www is not part of the actual domain name but it will be stored in the DNS
59
http://www.csd.uwo.ca | what is the top level domain here and what is important about it
.ca Rules exist for what you can pick, only certain combinations of letters have been established as allowable top level domains
60
what are the rules for domain names
You can have a maximum of 127 levels (thus the top level domain is 1 level and the second level is 1 level, that leaves room for 125 sub domains). Each level can be up to 63 characters long The entire domain name (including sub domains) can not be more than 255 characters. Must use one of the approved TLDs. Each level must consist of letters, digits and hyphens. Each level cannot start with a hyphen or end with a hyphen. Each level must not contain a space. case insensitive
61
what is a level in terms of domain names
each item between a dot in a domain name is a level
62
http://www.abc.def.hij.com | how many subdomains does this have
2 - www is not a subdomain and neither is hij or com | domain name is hij.com
63
domain names are case senseitive
false
64
domain names can have hyphens
true
65
domain names cannot start with a hyphen or end with a hyphen
true
66
domain names can have letters and digits
true
67
domain names can have spaces
no
68
We-Are.org | valid or invalid
valid
69
underscores are valid in domain names
false
70
weare99%ofTheWorld.com | valid or invalid
invalid because of %
71
We.Are.The.World.org | valid?
valid
72
-wearetheworld-.org | valid/invalid
invalid
73
Wearetheworld.werock | valid?
could be if that top level domain is valid
74
who establishes top level domains?
An International Internet committee has established the allowable top level domains
75
initially there were only __ valid TLD
7 valid top level domains
76
people can restrict TLDomains? t/f
t for example apple restricts the use of .apple
77
what were the seven original top level domains
.com, .org, .net, .int, .edu, .gov, .mil then country ones appeard .ca, .ae, .uk, .de Then geographical ones: .asia, .berlin, .vegas And now…Brand ones: .Bloomberg, .Barclays, .youtube
78
what is the company that approves TLD names
ICANN
79
why is domain name important if you have a business
it is essential for competition
80
what happened in 2007 in terms of google and microsoft
as of 2007, Google passes Microsoft as the most visited website in the world.
81
what to think of when picking a domain name
1. keywords - drive highly targeted traffic to our site so pick domain name with keywords. lots of weight given to domain name by search engines 2. be memorable 3. avoid hyphens 4. .com first... buy .com extension because tis the default extension in most people's mind 5. keep it short 6. dont wait to register ur domain name... register before you lose the opportuity to get the domain name you want... 7. get creative - if a domain name you want is taken, add an e or an i 8. know the rules 9. testing before you purchase your domain name, test it. see what your friends and fam think 10. learn from monopoly... buy mispelled versions of ur domain name 11. choose an online realtor
82
after picking a domain name and registering and paying for it... what happens
you want to find a company that will hold/host your website | find an ISP
83
Why should you not host a domain name?
Expensive: Server and server software (web server, mail server, firewall, virus protection etc.) can be expensive. Continual Connection: The server needs a 24/7 high speed connection to the internet, which is relatively costly. Technical: Setting up all the configurations including mail server, FTP server and DNS server can be complicated. Support: Server maintenance requires 24 hour support, special skills and knowledge.
84
what is an ISP
A company that provides access to the Internet maintains one or more machines that are permanently connected to the internet offers connections via telephone lines, cable, satellite dishes
85
what do ISPs provide to the user
User account for accessing the Internet Email access Web Space to host/hold your website
86
give some examples of ISPs
Rogers Bell Execulink Western (at least while you are a student here)
87
what to look for in an ISP
Disk Space  Always get more, Standard 5 GB – 10 GB Bandwidth  bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet in a given time period (static pages go with low; need for downloads go with high) Web Site Speed  Web site speed is a given… slow.. Poor service (ask for some websites and try it out yourself) Database/Programming Language Support  Needs for dynamic website – interact with customers. Perl, Java, PHP etc… Technical Support  Test by sending them an e-mail and see response time, Contact names, e-mails, phone numbers, hotlines UpTime  Look for 99% plus guaranteed FTP Access  Unlimited and unrestricted FTP access for easy maintenance Web Statistics Summary:  Traffic on your website- Easy access to your information… control Scripts availability  counters, forms support. Web Provider  Reliability? How long? Popular?
88
what is a website
A website is a collection of related webpages stored in a folder. The folder may or may not contain sub folders.
89
what subfolder should a website contain
The website folder should contain a sub folder called images which holds the image files (.jpg, .gif, etc) that will be displayed on the page.
90
each webpage is normally an ___ file
html file that has the extention .html or .htm
91
what is .html or .htm
Very basic page, just has clickable links, images, sometimes forms The .html file is just a file with html codes that is displayed in a browser to make it look pretty for the client (Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox)
92
what are other extensions for webpages
.php extra stuff that is brought in also from the server, allows for use of data in a database on the server, more complex form manipulation
93
where should each .html file be stored
in the folder (website
94
what does the home page file name HAVE TO BE and where must it be stored
index.html should be stored directly in website so that when you open it, it automatically opens index.html. this wont happen if its in a subfolder of your website
95
good website design tips
no popups dont distract too much using animations/gifs organize minimize clicking (no more than three clicks to get to a page) have a way to get to home page menu on every page compress images(loading time) dont let multimedia bog down website NO LINE OF TEXT MORE THAN 600 PIXELS WIDE dont make page too wide between 900 and 1000 pixels. NO HORIZONTAL SCROLLING and minimum vertical scrolling ``` contrasting colours and simple backgrounds (to make text easy to read) large text use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS sparingly never use more than one !!!!! spelling never underline words that are not links put contact info or link to it on every page include last modified date no stealing content ```
96
What is a Web Server
the computer that runs software which holds the webpages and serves up (delivers) webpage to the client. This computer must be connected to the Internet. The software delivering the webpages is also called a web server software we used was Win SCP Name of webserver at western is panther.uwo.ca
97
what is a web browser
software/program that displays formatted web pages to the client web browser is given a .html file and translates it into the page
98
when was HTML created and by who proposed it
In 1990 Berners Lee set the specifications for the HTML language and wrote a browser to read HTML files and output linkable papers In the late 1980s, Tim Berners Lee proposed a way of sharing research papers using the Internet and hypertext (immediate links to other documents)
99
what did the person who proposed HTML propose about HTML's organization
Tim Berners Lee proposed HTML TAGS Example of some tags  , , , ,
    ,
Tag always start with “” Most tags come in pairs: opening tag and a closing tag, for example: This is the title of the webpage
100
where did you used to have to make webpages/html files
simple text editors like notepad
101
what did Tim Berners Lee do
created the first web browser Created URL layout Came up with the World Wide Web and the concept of hyperlinks among pages Created HTML tags (they have changed a bit over time but he came up with the initial ones) he knew how to code
102

106
WYSIWYG programs do what
what you see is what you get | they create the tags for us so we dont have to remember the syntax for each tag
107
what is the page title and where does it show up
Shows up now at the top of the tab page title appears in the tab of google when you open the webpage Page title is very important, when you print a webpage, the title appears at the top of printed paper Search engines look at page title Title is displayed in the list returned by Google Always set the page title on all your pages Start with the current page, then the pipe | then the site name
108
what does WYSIWYG stand for
what you see is what you get
109
how should the page property/title be formatted
webpage name | website

111
how many header options are there
6 H1 is the largest All are bolded All force a blank line after them
112
what should you always make sure to do when adding an image to your page
Add your images via html5-editor set TITLE attribute: Shows when mouse hovers over ALWAYS set the alternative text: Shows when page is loading Shows up when using a text browser Might be used as keywords in searches
113
what does the title attribute of an image do
Shows when mouse hovers over
114
what does the alt text attribute of the image do
Shows when page is loading Shows up when using a text browser Might be used as keywords in searches
115
what file formats should you use for images in webpages
Use common universal formats such as jpg, gif and png files that will work in any browser
116
what should you make sure to do to the image before putting the image file into your images folder
Resize and compress the image as much as possible in Affinity (or other graphics package like Photoshop)
117
what are the
TYPE 1: Links to other pages within your site: TYPE 2: Link to a different website TYPE 3: Link to an email address TYPE 4a: Link on a image TYPE 5: Link to particular spot within a page
118
if you want to include this link: TYPE 5: Link to particular spot within a page
you must include an anchor to the spot you want to jump to to add it, in the link section add the anchor name with a # in front of it and the name of the anchor
119
when should you jump to a new window when opening a link on a webpage
when opening a page that is not part of your site
120
how do you use anchor links to jump to anchors on completely different pages
url - teams.html#anchor
121
Tables are made up of
rows and columns
122
a cell is a
place where a row meets a row and a column
123
what are tables mainly used for
to align and organize your website
124
tables are expressed in terms of
percentage of the browser not the entire screen or pixels resolution affects the way a page is displayed, so in general ppl do not have resolution lower than 1024 by 768
125
what is the reccomended size for a webpage table
1000 pixels
126
to include internal CSS
1. directly into the tags | 2. including a style tag
127
what is the problem with using internal CSS
you would have to add it to every page if you want it to affect the whole website external css
128
How does external .css work
We can put all our rules in a separate .css file We link each page (.html file) to that .css file Then we just change the rule in .css file and it will take affect on ALL the pages! And we can easily swap for a different .css page to get a different look!
