    Internet
    • International network of computers used to share
    data.
    • Includes e-mail, bulletin boards, IM, newsgroups,
    databases, streaming audio and video–almost all
    of which can now be delivered through the WWW.

    World Wide Web


    • The graphical interface that uses the Internet to
    share information.
    • The WWW cannot exist without the Internet. The
    Internet can and does exist without the Web.

    Protocols
    Sets of rules that allow data to be shared via the
    Internet
    • HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol
    • FTP: File Transfer Protocol
    HTTP
    HyperText Transfer Protocol

    The protocol, or rules, that move Web pages across


    the Internet and that link pages together
    • One way transfer, server to browser
    • Stateless (which means no copy of the transfer is
    saved on the server side)
    FTP
    File Transfer Protocol

    The rules that move digital files across the Internet


    • Two way
    • Copies of transfers on both server and client sides
    CM350 WEB DESIGN FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

    IP
    Internet Protocol

    IP addresses are unique numbers that identify


    specific computers connected to the Internet.
    CM350 WEB DESIGN FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

    URL
    Uniform Resource Locator

    • The rules that identify specific files available on the


    Internet
    • The address beginning with the transfer protocol
    http:// in a browser address bar

    Site Name Path


    CM350 WEB DESIGN FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

    DNS
    Domain Name System

    Connecting to computers and Web sites through


    the Internet would be far more laborious and error-
    prone if it had to be done with IP addresses—e.g.,
    10.0.1.197).
    The DNS translates domain names (e.g.,
    www.mcpherson.edu) that have meaning into an IP
    address.
