Web (1)
WEB = World Electronic Broadcast
WWW
The World Wide Web (www, W3) is an information s
ystem of interlinked hypertext documents that are a
ccessed via the Internet.
The inventor of the Web Tim Berners-Lee, a British c
omputer scientist and former CERN employee
Proposal : On 12 March 1989
Completed Test : Around 20 December 1990
Reported Project : on 7 August 1991

Web (2)
The Web
An infrastructure of information combined and the net
work software used to access it
Web page
A document that contains or references various kinds o
f data

Links
A connection between one web page and another

Web (3)
Website
A collection of related web pages
Web browser
A software tool that retrieves and displays eb pages
Web server
A computer set up to respond to requests for web pages

Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

A standard way of specifying the location of a Web page
, containing the hostname, "/", and a file

Web (4)
Definition
Page of information provided via the Internet that can b
e accessed around the world for the network connected
to the Internet
Type of Web
1. Static Web
2. Dynamic Web
3. Interactive Web

Web (5)
Static Web
A static website contains Web pages with fixed content
. Each page is coded in HTML and displays the same in
formation to every visitor. Static sites are the most basi
c type of website and are the easiest to create.
Dynamic Web
Dynamic websites contain Web pages that are generat
ed in real-time.
When a dynamic page is accessed, the code within the
page is parsed on the Web server and the resulting HT
ML is sent to the client's Web browser.

Web (5)
Interactive Web
An interactive website is an Internet page that uses vari
ous software to create an interactive experience that all
ows the person viewing the webpage to be actively en
gaged with the site.
In general, an interactive website will use the standard
graphical user interface (GUI) present on all websites t
o create interactivity with the viewer.

Internet (1)
Definition
The Internet is a global system of interconnected comp
uter networks that use the standard Internet protocol s
uite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide.

Inventor
J.C.R Licklider and his friend (Vint Cerf

Markup Language (1)

Definition
Markup languages are designed for the processing,
definition and presentation of text.
The language specifies code for formatting, both the
layout and style, within a text file.
The code used to specify the formatting are called
tags.
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language, 1980) is a an e
xample of a widely known and used markup languag
e.
Inventor

Intranet & Extranet (1)

Intranet
Internal company network that uses Internet standards (HTML, HT
TP & TCP/IP protocols) & software
Accessed only by authorized persons, especially members or empl
oyees of the organization
Extranet
Extranet is an Intranet for outside authorized users using same int
ernet technology.
Inter-organizational information system.
enable outsiders to work together with companys employees.
open to selected suppliers, customers & other business partners

Internet Connetion Option (1)

Description
As technology grows, so does our need for bigger, b
etter and faster Internet connections.
Over the years the way content is presented via th
e Web has also changed drastically.
Ten years ago being able to center, bold, and produc
e text in different colors on a webpage was somethin
g to admire.
Today, Flash, animations, online gaming, streaming vi
deo, database-driven websites, ecommerce and mobil
e applications (to name but a few) are standards.

Analog: Dial-up Internet Access, Speeds range from 2400 bps to 56 Kbps.
Today, analog has been widely replaced by broadband (Cable and DSL).
ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network, Integrated services digital net
work (ISDN) is an international communications standard for sending voice
, video, and data over digital telephone lines or normal telephone wires. T
ypical ISDN speeds range from 64 Kbps to 128 Kbps.
B-ISDN - Broadband ISDN, similar in function to ISDN but it transfers data
over fiber optic telephone lines.
DSL Digital Subscriber Line, uses existing 2-wire copper telephone line c
onnected. The two main categories of DSL for home subscribers are called
ADSL and SDSL. Speeds range from 128 Kbps to 9 Mbps.
ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, speed rates from 1.5 to 9 Mbp
s when receiving data and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data. ADSL
requires a special ADSL modem.
ADSL+2 - ADSL Extension, significantly faster download speeds when co
mpared to traditional ADSL connections. most commonly offered in highly
-populated metropolitan areas .
SDSL - Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line, Supports data rates up to 3 Mb
ps. Supports the same data rates for upstream and downstream traffic.
VDSL - Very High DSL, the shorter the distance, the faster the connection
rate.

Cable - Broadband Internet Connection, speeds range from 512 Kbps to 20 Mbps.
Wireless Internet Connections, the newest Internet connection types. It is typically m
ore expensive and mainly available in metropolitan areas.
T-1 Lines Leased Line, Popular leased line option for businesses connecting to the
Internet and for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connecting to the Internet backbon
e. Supporting data rates of 1.544Mbps. A T-1 line actually consists of 24 individual c
hannels, each of which supports 64Kbits per second.
Bonded T-1, A Two or more T-1 lines that have been joined (bonded) together to in
crease bandwidth. Two bonded T-1s allow to use the full bandwidth of 3Mbps where
two individual.
T-3 Lines Dedicated Leased Line, Dedicated phone connections supporting data ra
tes of about 43 to 45 Mbps. A T-3 line actually consists of 672 individual channels, e
ach of which supports 64 Kbps. Speeds ranging from 43 to 45 Mbps.
OC3 - Optical Carrier, Short for Optical Carrier, level 3 it is used to specify the speed
of fiber optic networks conforming to the SONET standard. OC3 is typically used as
a fiber optic backbone for large networks with large voice, data, video, and traffic ne
eds. Speeds are 155.52 Mbps, or roughly the speed of 100 T1 lines.
Internet over Satellite, Allows a user to access the Internet via a satellite that orbits t
he earth. IoS is slightly slower than high-speed terrestrial connections over copper o
r fiber optic cables. Typical Internet over satellite connection speeds (standard IP ser
vices) average around 492 up to 512 Kbps
