The Evolution of the
Internet
•Internet
• Interconnected network of computer networks
• ARPAnet
• Advanced Research Project Agency
• 1969 – four computers connected
• NSFnet
• National Science Foundation
• Use of the Internet was originally limited to
government, research and academic use
• 1991 Commercial ban lifted

Reasons for
Internet Growth in the
1990s
 Removal of the ban on commercial activity
 Development of the World Wide Web by Tim
Berners-Lee at CERN
 Development of Mosaic, the first graphics-based
web browser at NCSA (National Center for
Supercomputer Application)
 Convergence of technologies:
 Affordable personal computers with GUI Operating
Systems
 Affordable Internet service providers
6

The World Wide Web
The graphical user interface to information
stored on some of the computers connected
to the Internet.
7

Web Standards
and the W3C Consortium
W3C – World Wide Web
Consortium
 Develops recommendations and prototype
technologies related to the Web
 Produces specifications, called
Recommendations, in an effort to standardize
web technologies
8

Information on the
Web
•Reliability and information
•Evaluate the credibility of the site
•Ethical use of information
•Copyright and the Web
9

Network Overview
Network
two or more computers connected together for the purpose of
communicating and sharing resources
10

The Client/Server
Model
•Client/Server can describe a relationship between two
computer programs – the "client" and the "server".
•Client
• requests some type of service (such as a file or database
access) from the server.
•Server
• fulfills the request and transmits the results to the client over a
network
11

The Client/Server Model
•The Internet
Client/Server Model
•Client: Web Browser
•Server: Web Server
12

Internet Protocols
Protocols
› Rules that describe the methods used for
clients and servers to communicate with each
other over a network.
 There is no single protocol that makes the
Internet and Web work.
 A number of protocols with specific functions are
needed.
13

Common Internet
Protocols
•Official Communication Protocol: TCP/IP
•Specialized Protocols:
• File Transfer: FTP
• E-mail: SMTP, POP3, IMAP
• Websites: HTTP
14

HTTP
Hypertext Transfer
Protocol
 A set of rules for exchanging files such as text, graphic
images, sound, video, and other multimedia files on
the Web.
 Web browsers send HTTP requests for web pages and their
associated files.
 Web servers send HTTP responses back to the web browsers.
15

IP Address
•Each device connected to the Internet has a unique
numeric IP address.
•These addresses consist of a set of four groups of
numbers, called octets.
74.125.73.106 will get you Google!
•An IP address may correspond to a domain name.
16

Domain Name
Locates an organization or other entity on
the Internet
Domain Name System
◦ Divides the Internet into logical groups and
understandable names
◦ Associates unique computer IP Addresses with
the text-based domain names you type into a
web browser
◦ Browser: http://google.com
◦ IP Address: 74.125.73.106
17

URI
Uniform Resource
Indicator
URL
Uniform
Resource
Locator
Represents
the address
of a resource on
the Internet.
18

TLD
Top-Level Domain Name
•A top-level domain (TLD) identifies the
right-most part of the domain name.
•Some generic TLDs:
.com, .org, .net, .mil, .gov, .edu, .int, .aero,
.asia, .cat, .jobs, .name, .biz, .museum, .inf
o, .coop, .pro, .travel
19

County Code
TLDs
•Two character codes originally intended to indicate the
geographical location (country) of the web site.
•In practice, it is fairly easy to obtain a domain name with
a country code TLD that is not local to the registrant.
• Examples:
• .tv, .ws, .au, .jp, .uk
• See http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm
20

Domain Name System
•The Domain Name System (DNS) associates
Domain Names with IP addresses.

Markup Languages
•SGML – Standard Generalized Markup
Language
›A standard for specifying a markup language or
tag set
•HTML – Hypertext Markup Language
›The set of markup symbols or codes placed in a
file intended for display on a web browser.
 Element or tag – individual markup code
 Attribute – modifies the purpose of a tag
22

HTML – Hypertext Markup
Language
•Two jobs
•presenting information to user
•Constructing basic web page skeleton
23

Markup Languages
(2)
•XML – eXtensible Markup Language
•A text-based language designed to describe, deliver,
and exchange structured information.
•It is not intended to replace HTML –
it is intended to extend the power of HTML by
separating data from presentation.
24

Markup Languages (3)
•XHTML – eXtensible Hypertext Markup
Language
•Developed by the W3C as the reformulation of
HTML 4.0 as an application of XML.
•It combines the formatting strengths of HTML 4.0
and the data structure and extensibility strengths of
XML.
25

Markup Languages (4)
HTML 5
› The next version of HTML 4 and XHTML 1
 Currently in draft status
 Incorporates features of both HTML and XHTML
 Adds new elements
 Eliminates some elements
 Intended to be backward compatible
› http://www.w3.org/html/
26

Your First HTML5 Web Page:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Page Title Goes Here</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
... body text and more HTML tags go here ...
</body>
</html>
27

Under the Hood of
a Web Page
DTD – describes the markup language syntax
HTML element– contains the web page document
Head element – contains the head section
The head section contains information that describes
the
web page document
Title element– Text displays in title bar of window
Meta element – describes the character encoding
Body element – contains the body section
The body section contains the text and elements that
display in the browser viewport. 28

This chapter provided a brief overview of
Internet, Web, and introductory networking
concepts along with your very first web page.
