MODULE 3: THE WEB AND THE INTERNET

Lesson 1: The Web

• The Web (World Wide Web) consists of information

organized into Web pages containing text and graphic
images.
• The world wide web is larger collection of
interconnected documents or content. It contains
hypertext links, or highlighted keywords and images
that lead to related information.
• A collection of linked Web pages that has a common
theme or focus is called a Web site.
• The main page that all of the pages on a particular
Web site are organized around and link back to is
called the Site's home page.
• Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng
FRSA FBCS, also known as TimBL, is an English
engineer and computer scientist best known as
the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is a
Professorial Fellow of Computer Science at the
University of Oxford and a professor at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology..
A. Web 1.0 (Read Only Static Web)

It is an old internet that only allows people to read from

the internet. First stage worldwide linking web pages and
hyperlink. Web is use as "information portal". It uses table
to positions and align elements on page.

• Most read only web. If focused on company's home

pages. Dividing the world wide web into usable
directories
• It means web is use as "Information Portal"
• It started with the simple idea "put content together"
Example of Web 1.0
• [Link]
• Home Page Directories
• Page Views
• HTML/Portals

Disadvantages

• Read only web

• Limited user interaction
• Lack of standards
 B. Web 2.0 (Read-write interactive web)

A term used to describe a new generation of Web services

and applications with an increasing emphasis on human
collaboration.
• It is a platform that gives users the possibility (liberty) to
control their data.
• This is about user-generated content and the read-write
web.
• People are consuming as well as contributing
information through blogs or sites. Allows the user to
interact with the page known as DYNAMIC PAGE;
instead of just reading a page, the user may be able to
comment or create a user account.
• Is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and
share information online via social media, blogging and
Web-based communities.
Example of Web 2.0 are the following:
A. Social Networking is the use of Intermet-based social
media sites to stay connected with friends, family,
colleagues, customers, or clients. Social networking can
have a social purpose, a business purpose, or both,
through sites such as:

Example:
Facebook
Twitter
B. Blogs is a discussion or informational website
published on the world wide web consisting of discrete,
often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are
typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that
the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web
page.

Example:

Wordpress
Blogger
Tumbler
C. Wikis is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited
and managed by its own audience directly using a web
browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the
subjects or scope of the project and may be either open
to the public or limited to use within an organization for
maintaining its intemal knowledge base.

Examples:

Wikipedia
Wikiversity
Commons
Wiktionary
D. Video Sharing Sites a website that lets people upload
and share their video clips with the public at large or to
invited guests.

Example:
• Youtube
• Facebook
• Photobucket
• Twitter
• Veoh
• Dailymotion
Key Features of Web 2.0:

• Folksonomy allows users to categorize and

classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g. tagging).
• Rich User Interface content is dynamic and is
responsive to user's input. An example would be a
website that shows local content.
• User Participation the owner of website is not the
only one who is able to put content. Others are able
to place a content on their own by means of
comments,reviews and evaluation.
• Long Tail is services are offered on demand rather
than on a one-time purchase. This is synonymous to
subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the
amount of time you spent on Intemet or a data plan
that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you
used.

C. Web 3.0: (Read-write intelligent web)

• Suggested name by John Markoff of the New York
Times for the third generation of the web
• In this generation, all the application on web or mobile
will be upgraded with more features. It applies same
principles as Web 2.0: two-way interaction.
• Web 3.0 will be more connected, open, and intelligent,
with semantic web
• technologies, distributed databases, natural language
processing, machine leaming. machine reasoning and
autonomous agents, Semantic Web provides a
framework that allows data to be shared and reuse to
• deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
• It is a web of data.
• Changing the web into a language that can be read and
categorized by the system rather than humans.
Types of Websites:

eCommerce Website

• is a website people can directly buy products from

you've probably used a number of eCommerce
websites before, most big brands and plenty of smaller
ones have one. Any website that includes a shopping
cart and a way for you to provide credit card
information to make a purchase falls into this category.
Business Website

• is any website that's devoted to representing a specific

business. It should be branded like the business (the
same logo and positioning) and communicate the
types of products and/or services the business offers.

Entertainment Website

• If you think about your internet browsing habits, you

can probably think of a few websites that you visit
purely for entertainment purposes.
Portfolio Website

• are sites devoted to showing examples of past work.

Service providers who want to show potential clients
the quality of the work they provide can use a
portfolio website to collect some of the best
samples of past work they've done. This type of
website is simpler to build than a business website
and more focused on a particular task: collecting
work samples.
 Media Website
• collect news stories or other reporting. There's some
overlap here with entertainment websites, but media
websites are more likely to include reported pieces in
addition to or instead of content meant purely for
entertainment.
Brochure Website
• are a simplified form of business websites. For
businesses that know they need an online presence, but
don't want to invest a lot into it (maybe you're confident
you'll continue to get most of your business from other
sources), a simple brochure site that includes just a few
pages that lay out the basics of what you do and provide
contact information may be enough for you.
Nonprofit Website
• In the same way that businesses need websites to be
their online presence, nonprofits do as well. A nonprofit
website is the easiest way for many potential donors to
make donations and will be the first place many people
look to leam more about a nonprofit and determine if
they want to support it.
Educational Website
• The websites of educational institutions and those
offering online courses fall into the category of
educational websites. These websites have the primary
goal of either providing educational materials to visitors
or providing information on an educational institution to
them.
Infopreneur Website
• websites overlap a bit with business and eCommerce
websites, but they represent a unique type of online
business. Infopreneurs create and sell information
products. That could be in the form of courses, tutorials,
videos or eBooks.
Personal Website
• Not all websites exist to make money in some way or
another. Many people find value in creating personal
websites to put their own thoughts out into the
world. This category includes personal blogs, vlogs,
and photo diaries people share with the world.
Web Portal

• are often websites designed for internal purposes at

a business, organization, or institution. They collect
information in different formats from different
sources into one place to make all relevant
information accessible to the people who need to
see it. They often involve a login and personalized
views for different users that ensure the information
that's accessible is most useful to their particular
needs.
Wiki or Community Forum Website

• Most people are familiar with wikis through the most

famous example of one out there: Wikipedia. But
wikis can be created on pretty much any subject you
can imagine. A wiki is any website where various users
are able to collaborate on content and all make their
own tweaks and changes as they see fit. There are
wikis for fan communities, for business resources, and
for collecting valuable information sources.
