INTRODUCTION TO WWW

• World Wide Web, which is also known as a Web, is a collection of websites or web pages stored in

web servers and connected to local computers through the internet.

• It allows users to access documents and media over the internet using web browsers.

• The WWW is a crucial part of the internet but is not the same as the internet itself.
HISTORY OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB

• The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist, Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.

• He was working at CERN at that time. Originally, it was developed by him to fulfill the need of

automated information sharing between scientists across the world, so that they could easily share

the data and results of their experiments and studies with each other.
• CERN, where Tim Berners worked, is a community of more than 1700 scientists from
more than 100 countries. These scientists spend some time on CERN site, and rest of the
time they work at their universities and national laboratories in their home countries, so
there was a need for reliable communication tools so that they can exchange information.

• Internet and Hypertext were available at this time, but no one thought how to use the
internet to link or share one document to another. Tim focused on three main technologies
that could make computers understand each other, HTML, URL, and HTTP. So, the
objective behind the invention of WWW was to combine recent computer technologies,
data networks, and hypertext into a user-friendly and effective global information system.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORLD WIDE WEB
AND INTERNET
INTERNET WWW
• Internet is a global network of networks. • WWW stands for World wide Web.
• WWW stands for World wide Web. • World Wide Web which is a collection of information
which is accessed via the Internet.
• Internet is infrastructure.
• WWW is service on top of that infrastructure.
• Internet can be viewed as a big book-store. • Web can be viewed as collection of books on that store.
• At some advanced level, to understand we can • At some advanced level, to understand we can think of the
think of the Internet as hardware. WWW as software.
• Internet is primarily hardware-based. • WWW is more software-oriented as compared to the
Internet.
• Internet is superset of WWW.
• WWW is a subset of the Internet.
• The first version of the Internet was known as
ARPANET. • In the beginning WWW was known as NSFNET.

• Internet uses IP address. • WWW uses HTTP.

HOW THE WORLD WIDE WEB WORKS?

• The Web works as per the internet's basic client-server format as shown in the following image.

• The servers store and transfer web pages or information to user's computers on the network
when requested by the users.

• A web server is a software program which serves the web pages requested by web users using a
browser.

• The computer of a user who requests documents from a server is known as a client. Browser,
which is installed on the user' computer, allows users to view the retrieved documents.
ARCHITECTURE OF WWW
WEB PROTOCOLS

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer web pages over the internet.

• HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the encrypted version, ensuring secure
communication.

• HTTPS is critical for protecting sensitive data like passwords and payment information.
Key Differences Between HTTP and HTTPS

Aspect HTTP HTTPS

Security No encryption, vulnerable Encrypted using SSL/TLS
Port Port 80 Port 443
Data Integrity Data can be intercepted Data is encrypted and secure
Lower ranking on search Higher ranking due to
SEO Ranking
engines security
DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM)

•DNS translates domain names (like [Link]) into IP addresses that computers use.

•The DNS process helps your browser find the correct server to load a website.

•DNS Servers store the information and handle the requests for domain name resolution.
WEB BROWSERS

•A web browser is the software used to access and view websites (e.g., Google Chrome,
Mozilla Firefox).
•Browsers send requests to servers and display the response in a readable format.
•They provide tools for navigation, searching, and interacting with websites.
URL (UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR)

• A URL is the web address used to locate resources on the internet (e.g., web pages,
images).
Structure:
•Protocol: Specifies how data is transferred (e.g., http, https).
•Domain Name: Identifies the website (e.g., [Link]).
•Path: Points to a specific resource (e.g., /about-us).
•Query Parameters (Optional): Provides additional data (e.g., ?id=123).
Example: [Link]
WEB TECHNOLOGIES

•HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) forms the structure of web pages (headings,
paragraphs, links).

•CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used for styling (colors, layout, fonts).

•JavaScript is a scripting language that makes websites interactive and dynamic.

HTML AND CSS

•HTML uses tags to define the structure of a webpage (e.g., <h1>, <p>, <a>).

•CSS helps style HTML elements (e.g., setting font size, background color).

•Together, HTML and CSS allow for both content creation and design.
JAVASCRIPT IN THE WEB

• JavaScript enables interactive features on webpages (e.g., pop-ups, form validation).

• It allows pages to update dynamically without needing a full page reload.

• JavaScript can be used for animations, games, and real-time updates.

WEB SERVERS AND HOSTING

• A web server stores and delivers the files (HTML, images, etc.) that make up a website.

• Web hosting services provide the infrastructure and resources for a website to be
accessible online.

• Popular web hosting companies include GoDaddy, Bluehost, and Amazon Web
Services (AWS).
WEB SERVICES AND APIS

• Web services are software systems that allow different applications to communicate over
the internet.

• APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) let programs interact with each other by
sending and receiving data.

• APIs can be used for tasks like retrieving weather data or logging into third-party
accounts (e.g., Google or Facebook).
WEB DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS

•Web frameworks simplify and speed up the process of creating websites by providing
reusable code and structure.
•Examples include React (for building user interfaces) and Django (a framework for
creating backend applications).
•Frameworks help maintain code efficiency and organization.
WEB 2.0 AND EVOLUTION

•Web 2.0 refers to the shift from static web pages to more dynamic, interactive websites.

•Social media platforms, blogs, and user-generated content are hallmarks of Web 2.0.

•Web 2.0 has allowed people to collaborate and share content more easily online.
WEB 3.0: THE FUTURE OF THE WEB

• Web 3.0 is the next stage of the web, focused on decentralization and the integration of
AI, blockchain, and IoT.

• Web 3.0 aims to give users more control over their data, reducing reliance on centralized
platforms.

• It will enable more personalized and efficient internet experiences.

MOBILE WEB

•Mobile web refers to websites and apps optimized for mobile devices like smartphones and
tablets.

•Responsive design ensures that websites automatically adjust to fit different screen sizes.

•The rise of mobile devices has made mobile optimization critical for businesses.
ADVANTAGES OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB
• The World Wide Web is one of the most popular used services over the internet.

• It is very helpful for learning and educational purposes.

• Anyone can get access to any information or can learn from them.

• It also provides the facilities for exchanging a huge amount of data.

• It also provides the facility of communication to a person from any part of the world.

• The World Wide Web also gives the immediate response to tell that the user’s action was
understood.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB

• There are many unusual sites that provide wrong information related to any topic. It should be our

intellect to which site we are referring and considering it to be reliable.

• There are many sites that misguide youngsters. They are attracted to sexual content related videos.
This makes them addicted to it and diverts their attention from studies.

• There are many spam and fraud emails that are there to cheat and misguide us.

• We waste our valuable time by chatting with friends.

• It leads to too much interruption in our work and stress and anxiety in our brains.
CONCLUSION

• The WWW has transformed the way we access information and interact online.

• Key technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and HTTPS make the web functional and
secure.

• The future of the WWW will see advancements in Web 3.0, AI, and mobile
optimization.
