01 World Wide
Web
World Wide Web
A collective name for all publicly available websites
or pages that internet users may view on their local
computers and other devices is the World Wide
Web, often known as the web, WWW, or W3. Users
who want further information can click on the links
to these sites and publications to obtain them.

02 Markup
Language
(HTML)
Hypertext Markup
Language
HTML is the standard markup language for documents
that was developed to produce the layout of a
webpage. HTML is not considered a programming
language, as it cannot create dynamic functionality.
Instead, it contains codes called tags or markup that a
web browser uses to present raw text and images on
the web page. The browser then interprets these tags
to produce and format the web page for you to view.

Hypertext Markup Language

What is HTML used for?


Wed Development: developers use HTML code to
design how a browser displays web page elements
such as text, hyperlinks and internet files.

Wed Documentation: HTML makes it possible to


organize and format documents similarly to
Microsoft Word.
Hypertext Markup Language

What is HTML used for?


To share documents: HTML was created to help
users share documents on the internet, so that any
browser can read a basic HTML document.

To link to other documents: Hyperlinks use an


internet address for the related documents in the
HTML code for the page. Clicking on the hyperlink
either downloads the related material or views the
document.
Hypertext Markup Language
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. All HTML
pages have a series of HTML elements consisting of a set of tags and
attribute.
What are the three main parts of an element?
1.Opening/Starting Tag: used to state where an element starts to
take effect. The is wrapped with opening and closing angle brackets.
For example, use a start tag to create a paragraph.
2.Closing Tag: similar to the opening tag, but with a forward slash
before the element name. For example, use this to end a paragraph.
3.Content: this is the output that other users see. For example, the paragraph
between the opening and closing tags.

03 Transfer
Protocol
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Hyper text transfer protocol is an application protocol
used to show web pages on a computer that have been
retrieved from web servers. It is a Transmission control
protocol / Internet protocol (TCP/IP) that allows the
user to communicate on the worldwide web.

The set of rules for sending and receiving data over the
internet is known as protocol. (TCP/IP)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
How does HTTP work?
1. The user enters the URL into the browser.
2. The Browser sends the URL to the web server in the
form of an HTTP message (request)
3. The web server recognizes that it is the correct
protocol used and sends back a response in the form of
another HTTP message. (response)

04 Protocol
Address
Internet Protocol Address
An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device
on the internet or a local network. IP stands for "Internet
Protocol," which is the set of rules governing the format
of data sent via the internet or local network. In essence,
IP addresses are the identifier that allows information to
be sent between devices on a network: they contain
location information and make devices accessible for
communication. The internet needs a way to differentiate
between different computers, routers, and websites. IP
addresses provide a way of doing so and form an
essential part of how the internet works.
Internet Protocol Address

There are different types of IP addresses for example:


Public IP address, consumer IP address and private IP
address.
05 Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are found everywhere on the internet.
Hyperlinks are used to navigate around a website,
and hyperlinks can be used within a document to
make navigating around the document easier.
Hyperlinks are also called links as they link to other
places.

Hyperlinks are used to navigate websites


Hyperlinks
What are Hyperlinks Used For?
Hyperlinks are used for many necessary functions on
the World Wide Web(WWW) , the internet. Without
hyperlinks, it is impossible to go from one page to
another on the internet. After performing an internet
search using a search engine such as Google, or
Firefox, hyperlinks show up as results. These
hyperlinks direct to pages that contain the
information being searched for.
Hyperlinks
Coding used to create hyperlinks is called
hypertext. The text that appears as the link is
referred to as the anchor text.

Hyperlinks are usually underlined in blue if the page


has not been visited yet. The links turn purple if they
have already been visited. Hyperlinks in documents
or PDF documents stored on a computer can be
used without the internet.
Hyperlinks
Permalinks are permanent hyperlinks. These links
are meant to stay active for many years. Most
times, permalinks are links that are easy to
remember and not too long.

For example, a page on a website about a cherry


pie recipe might have a permalink that looks like
this.
www.website.com/cherrypierecipe
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are created with hypertext using HTML.
A similar programming language called XML has
XML links similar to hyperlinks. These perform the
same function as hyperlinks, directing to another
relevant destination either within the same XML
document or to an external source.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlink Examples
Hyperlinks in a website about growing plants
hydroponically.
A hyperlink on the homepage of the site might use
an anchor text of dwarf tomatoes that directs to
another page on the same website about growing
dwarf tomatoes hydroponically without soil.
Clicking on the anchor text of dwarf tomatoes
changes the webpage to one specifically about
dwarf tomatoes on the same website.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinked tabs in a digital PDF planner.
A PDF digital planner is a planner in digital PDF form. The tabs
on such a document act as virtual monthly tabs. The
hyperlinked monthly tabs direct to the beginning of each
month in the PDF planner. Clicking on the MAR hyperlinked tab
changes the page to the beginning of the March section of the
PDF planner. Hyperlinks in documents can be used without the
internet.

Hyperlinked videos on a video-sharing site.


A video-sharing site uses hyperlinks with images of the videos
on its site. Clicking on a video directs to that video to watch it.
Hyperlinks
What is a hyperlink used for?
Hyperlinks may be used for navigating the internet
and for navigating documents. They are links
leading to anything and can link to another
document or another website, picture, or even print
dialog.
What is the difference between a link and a
hyperlink?
Links and hyperlinks are interchangeable terms.
They refer to the same links that appear on the web
and in documents.
Hyperlinks
06 Webserver
Webserver
There are two sides of A web server, hardware and
software webservers. The hardware side of a web
server is a computer that stores web server
software and a website's component files (for
example, HTML documents, images, CSS
stylesheets, and JavaScript files). A web server
connects to the Internet and supports physical data
interchange with other devices connected to the
web.
Webserver
07 Webpage
Webpage
A webpage is a document that is suitable for view using a
wweb browser, It many contain text, images, videos and
hyperlinks to other webpages and files. It is contained
within the web server, which can be accessed by entering
the URL for that web page, and once it is loaded, it
appears on the user's web browser. Each webpage is
linked with a unique URL; hence, two pages cannot have
the same URL. Webpages are usually written in the
language called HTML.
Webpage
A Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox,
or Google Chrome, is used to display the information on a
Web page online. The Web browser connects to the Web
server, which hosts the website's contents through HTTP
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol). Every Web page refers to
different forms of information that is visually and legible to
the visitor.

Protocol
File Transfer Protocol
What Is File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
The term file transfer protocol (FTP) refers to a process that
involves the transfer of files between devices over a network. The
process works when one party allows another to send or receive
files over the Internet. Originally used as a way for users to
communicate and exchange information between two physical
devices, it is now commonly used to store files in the cloud, which is
usually a secure location that is held remotely.
FTP may be used by a business or individual to transfer files from
one computer system to another or by websites to upload or
download files from their servers.
File Transfer Protocol
KEY NOTES
• File transfer protocol (FTP) is a way to download, upload, and
transfer files from one location to another on the Internet and
between computer systems.
• FTP enables the transfer of files back and forth between computers
or through the cloud.
• Users require an Internet connection in order to execute FTP
transfers.
• FTP is an essential tool for those who build and maintain websites.
• Many FTP clients are free to download, although most websites
already have the FTP built-in.
File Transfer Protocol
How File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Works
File transfer protocol allows individuals and businesses to share
electronic files with others without having to be in the same space.
This can be done using an FTP client or through the cloud.
Regardless of the option, both parties require a working Internet
connection.1
Most web browsers come with FTP clients that enable users to
transfer files from their computer to a server and vice versa.
Some users may want to use a third-party FTP client because
many of them offer extra features. Examples of FTP clients that
are free to download include FileZilla Client, FTP Voyager, WinSCP,
CoffeeCup Free FTP, and Core FTP.
File Transfer Protocol
FTP Process
The FTP process can be broken down into just a couple of key
steps.
• First, a user logins to an FTP server (although a login might
not be required).
• The FTP client interacts with the server upon a request,
which is the second step.
• With FTP, a user can then upload, download, or move files on
the server.
The term FTP client refers to the software that allows you to
transfer files to another party.
File Transfer Protocol
Types of FTP
There are various types of FTPs, including anonymous and
password protected. Anonymous allows the transfer of data
without encryption or using a password. This is good for files
that can be distributed without restrictions.
Meanwhile, password-protected FTP uses a username and
password to access the files. FTP secure (FTPS) offers
increased security when transferring, allowing for implicit
transport layer security (TLS). FTP can also employ explicit TLS,
which upgrades the connection to an encrypted connection for
added security.
File Transfer Protocol
Other Protocols
File transfer protocol is one of many different protocols that
dictate how computers and computing systems behave on the
Internet. Other such protocols include the following:
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): Designed to transmit data
across the web
• Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP): Provides access to
bulletin board or email messages from a shared service
• Network Time Protocol (NTP): Synchronizes clock times on
computers over a network
FTP enables computers on the Internet to transfer files back and
forth. As such, it is an essential tool for those building and
maintaining websites today.
File Transfer Protocol
Benefits and Uses of FTP
FTP made handling data across the Internet much easier and
intuitive. Without FTP and its later iterations, we would not be
able to easily stream video content, use video calls, play online
games, share files, or enjoy cloud storage.
Today, FTP operates behind the scenes as a backbone for data
transfer from servers around the world to millions of clients
every second of every day.

Example of FTP Clients


FTP software is relatively straightforward to set up. FileZilla is a
free, downloadable FTP client. Other examples of FTP clients
include Transmit, WinSCP, and WS_FTP.
You type in the address of the server you wish to access, the
port, and the password for accessing the server. Once access
has been granted, the user's files on their local system as well
as the accessed server will be visible.
File Transfer Protocol
Does FTP Use TCP or UDP?
FTP uses transmission control protocol (TCP) for transport needs—it
never uses user datagram protocol (UDP).

How Does FTP Work?


FTP allows for the transfer of files via the Internet. FTP transfers
require an Internet connection. Downloading files means transferring
a file from a server to a computer or device, while uploading is the
opposite—transferring a file from a computer to a server.

What Is an Example of FTP?


Examples of FTP clients include CoffeeCup Free FTP, Core FTP, FileZilla
Client, FTP Voyager, and WinSCP.
File Transfer Protocol
Summary
Now over 50 years old, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a
critical piece of Internet infrastructure that allows the
quick and secure transfer of data online. Without FTP
we wouldn't be able to enjoy many of today's World
Wide Web, from web-based online gaming to streaming
to video conferencing to the emerging Metaverse.

10 Resource
Locator
Uniform Resourve Locator
A resource on the internet may be found using a URL
(Uniform Resource Locator), a special identifier. It is
additionally known as a web address. URLs contain
several components, such as a protocol and domain
name, which instruct a web browser on how and
from where to access a resource.
Uniform Resourve Locator
How are URLs organized?
In addition to the resource name, the URL also includes the name of
the protocol required to access the resource. The protocol to utilize
as the main access medium is specified in the first portion of a URL.
The location of the resource is indicated by its IP address, domain
name, and sometimes a subdomain in the second portion.

For web resources, URL protocols such as HTTP (Hypertext


Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP Secure), mail to for email
addresses, FTP for files on a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server,
and telnet for a session to access distant computers are all used.
"Mail to" is followed by just a colon, as opposed to the colon, two
forward slashes, and other URL protocols.
Uniform Resourve Locator
An optional URL might further specify: after the domain:
a URL leading to a particular page or file inside a
domain;
a port on the network to use for the connection;
A query or set of search criteria employed, which
are frequently seen in URLs for search results
a specific reference point inside a file, such as a
named anchor in an HTML page.

Example URLs
There are several views on how to create URLs with the best readable syntax for
readers and archivists. Dates, authors, and themes, for instance, can be
provided in the "slug" element of the URL's route. Think about the URL for this
definition, for instance:

https://www.techtarget.com/searchnetworking/definition/URL
When we look past the permalink
(www.techtarget.com) and the protocol (HTTPS),
we can see that the file path has two routes
(searchnetworking and definition), as well as the
definition's title (URL).

Additionally, some URL creators opt to include the


post's date in the format (YYYY/MM/DD).
Uniform Resourve Locator
URL elements
The URL is https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/search/query?q=URL. components
of a URL can, for instance, consist of:

The protocol or scheme - used to open a website's resource. The various


protocols are http, https, ftps, mailto, and file. Through the domain name system
(DNS) name, the resource may be accessed.
Host Name or Domain Name- the distinct reference that characterizes a
webpage. Whatis.techtarget.com is used as an illustration.
Port Name - Normally invisible in URLs, but essential. Port 80 is the standard port
for web servers, although there are more choices, and they are all always followed
by a colon. Port 80 is one example.
Path- A web server file or location is referred to by a path. Search/query is used in
this instance.

Download
Upload and Download
While exploring the Internet, we have probably
encountered the terms downloading and
uploading.
 Downloading means receiving data or a file
from the Internet on your computer.
 Uploading means sending data or a file from
your computer to somewhere on the Internet.
These terms describe activities we may have already learned how to
do.
If you've ever opened an example document in one of our tutorials,
you've downloaded that file but If you’ve ever shared a photo you took
on Facebook or another social media site, you've uploaded that photo.
Upload and Download
Downloading
Usually, when you download a file you will start the download by clicking a link to
that file. Many of our tutorials contain links to files, like this:
Download our practice document.
If you click the link, your browser should prompt you to select one of two
methods for downloading the file.
• Open with will download the file and load it immediately in the specified
program.
• Save File will download it and save it to your hard drive.
Upload and Download
Either way, once you click OK, the download begins. Your browser will
indicate the progress and time remaining on the download.

Once the download is complete, either the file will be saved to your
computer or it will open in the program you selected. If you have
trouble finding the file after you’ve downloaded it, check out our Finding
Your Downloads lesson.

Some browsers don’t always start this download process when you
click the link to a file. In these cases, you can right-click the link, then
click Save Link As, then select a location to download the file.
Upload and Download
If a site allows uploads, it will have an upload utility to help perform the file
transfer. Each site handles this process differently, but we’ll give some
common examples. Usually, the site will have help pages to walk you through
the upload process.
Many sites have an upload button that opens a dialog box. For example,
Facebook has a camera icon that begins the upload process.
Upload and Download
A dialog box will appear, prompting you to select a file. Browse to the
location where your file is stored, select it, then click the Open button.
Afterward, a progress bar tracking the upload process will appear on the
page.
Upload and Download
Some sites support a drag-and-drop interface. For example, when logged in
to Dropbox you can drag the files from a folder on your computer and drop
them into the browser window.

Many other upload utilities have similar features.

Email
Email, which stands for electronic mail, is a method for
two users to communicate through a
telecommunication system by exchanging information
in the form of files, photos, or any other type of
attachment that may be kept on a computer or even a
phone.

13 Website
Website
A website is a group of websites that are all housed
under a single domain name. These websites often
include text, photographs, and videos along with other
features and present information about the company
or group.
A web browser-equipped device, such as a laptop,
smartphone, or tablet, and an active Internet
connection are required for users to view websites.
Website
How can a website be easily accessed?
Entering the required address into the browser's address bar is the
simplest approach to reach a website. Every webpage has its own
unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which is the address used
to access it (web address). There are various components that
make up a URL, and each one has a different purpose. Here is a
standard illustration of a website URL:
a) http://
b) www.
14 Homepage
Homepage
The home page in information technology is typically the
first display you see when opening a website. It usually
contains general information and instructions to navigate
the website.
Homepage
Home Page vs. Landing Page
The home page of a website is the main page of that
website, it usually serves to summarize all the things about
that website or what it has to offer, it exists on the main /
root domain of the URL. However, a landing page is more
specific. It targets one specific aspect of the website for
example: advertising, registering etc. The landing page could
be found on a sub domain.

Take for example: amazon’s home page shows all the


different products offered by amazon and gives a general
overview of the website.
Homepage
Home Page vs. Landing Page
However, a landing page of amazon is
different. It targets a specific aspect
of that website. In this case, that
aspect is to getting customers to sign
up with amazon prime.

Engine
Search Engine
A search engine is a software program that helps people find the
information they are looking for online using keywords or phrases.
Search engines can return results quickly—even with millions of
websites online—by scanning the Internet continuously and indexing
every page they find. When a user enters a search term, the search
engine looks at the website page titles, contents and keywords it
has indexed and uses algorithms (step-by-step operations) to
produce a list of sites—with the most relevant websites at the top
of the list.
Companies use search engine optimization (SEO) to help search
engines recognize their websites as highly relevant to particular
searches. Popular search engines include Google, Bing and Yahoo.

What is the purpose of a blog?

There are many reasons to start a blog for personal use and only a handful of
strong ones for business blogging. Blogging for business, projects, or
anything else that might bring you money has a very straightforward purpose
– to rank your website higher in Google SERPs, a.k.a. increase your visibility.
As a business, you rely on consumers to keep buying your products and
services. As a new business, you rely on blogging to help you get to potential
consumers and grab their attention. Without blogging, your website would
remain invisible, whereas running a blog makes you searchable and
competitive.
So, the main purpose of a blog is to connect you to the relevant audience.
Another one is to boost your traffic and send quality leads to your website.

Thread of Messages
This is the running commentary of text messages pertaining
to either one topic or question. Message threads are used in
all forms of user discussions on the Internet, inclusive of
Usenet newsgroups, Web-based forums, blogs, chat rooms,
groupware and email.
The "thread" refers to the collection of messages organized
by the software. The messages are displayed in "flat"
chronological order by date of posting or in "question-
answer" order. The latter is a thread of one question followed
by all answers in a hierarchy. Subthreads may also be
supported, which enables comments in one of the replies to
start another thread that remains linked to the original.

An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the
internet or a local network. IP stands for "Internet Protocol," which
is the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the
internet or local network. In essence, IP addresses are the
identifier that allows information to be sent between devices on a
network: they contain location information and make devices
accessible for communication. The internet needs a way to
differentiate between different computers, routers, and
websites. IP addresses provide a way of doing so and form an
essential part of how the internet works.
Internet Service Provider
There are different types of IP addresses for example: Public IP address,
consumer IP address and private IP address
Internet Service Provider
Public IP address
A public IP address is an IP address that can be accessed directly
over the internet and is assigned to your network router by your
internet service provider (ISP). Public IP can be known by
searching “what is my ip” on google. Range: 10.0.0.0 –
10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 –
192.168.255.255. Range: Besides private IP addresses, the rest are
public. Example: 192.168.1.10.
Internet Service Provider
Private IP address
A private IP address is the address your network router assigns
to your device. Each device within the same network is assigned a
unique private IP address (sometimes called a private network
address) — this is how devices on the same internal network talk
to each other.The range of numbers between 192.168. 0.0 and
192.168. 255.255 is reserved for private IP addresses.

19 Bandwidth
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the volume of information per unit of time that a
transmission medium can facilitate or handle. Connections with a
higher bandwidth can move a larger amount of data within a given
time as opposed to lower bandwidths which cannot facilitate large
transfers of data. Bandwidth is measured in ‘bits per second’.

Speed vs. Bandwidth


Bandwidth is the capacity available for data transmission over a
connection where as speed is the rate of data transfer over that
transmission path or how fast is the data transferred.

Internet speed is a term used to describe how quickly information
or material from the World Wide Web is sent to a computer,
tablet, or smartphone having an internet connection. This data's
speed is expressed in megabits per second (Mbps). 1,024 kilobits
make up one megabit.

Factors that affect internet speed

Domain
Name
Domain Name
The domain name is typically the name that you
would type in the URL to access your website from
the web server. Typically the website on your server
has an I.P address and you would have to enter the
I.P address to access the website. However, since
this is not a time friendly option, domain names are
used instead. Domain names are typically the
address of your website. They connect to the web
server via protocols and return the website.
Domain Name
How does domain name work?
1. The user enters the URL, containing the domain name
in the web browser.
2. The browser then takes this information to the DNS
(Domain Name System)
3. The domain name system will match the domain
name with the I.P address of the website
4. The I.P address will be sent to the web server which
will correspond it with a resource / website and return
it to the browser using internet protocol such as HTTP.
