Seminar Report On WWW

The document outlines the key concepts and history of the world wide web. It discusses how Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in 1989-1990 at CERN as a way to share text and graphics over the internet. The web uses clients, servers, and browsers connected by URLs and HTML to deliver web pages over the HTTP protocol. Examples are given and it concludes that the web grew through the vision and hard work of its creators to become the largest information platform.

WHAT IS WORLD WIDW WEB?
 The world wide web is a way of exchanging
information between computer on the internet.
 The world wide web is the network of pages of
images, texts and sounds in the internet which can
be viewed using browser software.

WWW…. BACKGROUNG?
 1989-1990 - Tim Berners-Lee invents the world wide
web at CERN.
 Means for transferring text and graphics
simultaneously.
 Lots of previous attempts (Gopher, WAIS, Archie,
Xanadu, etc.)
 Clint/Server data transfer protocol.
 Established a common language for sharing
information on computers.
STRUCTURE

 Clients use browser application to send URIs via HTTP to


servers requesting a web page.
 Web pages constructed using HTML (or other markup
language) and consist of text, graphics, sounds, plus
embedded file.
 Serves (or caches) responds with requested web page
:or with error images.
 Clint’s browser renders web page returned by server
:page is written using hyper text markup language(html)
:Displaying text, graphics and sound in browser
:writing data as well
 The entire system runs over standard networking
protocols (TCP/IP, DNS,..)

WWW COMPONENTS
 Structural components:
I. Clients/browsers-to dominant implementations
II. Server-run on sophisticates hardware
III. Caches-many interesting implementations
IV. Internet-the global infrastructure which facilities data
transfer
 Semantic Components:
I. Hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP)
II. Hyper text markup language (HTML)-extensible markup
language(XML)
III. Uniform Resource identifiers(URIs)

The Fundamental concept of the www

 The Hypertext concept:


Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts.
The term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965.
 The Hypermedia concept;
Hypermedia is a term used for hypertext which is not
constrained to be text: it can include graphics, video
and sound.
 WEB Browser
A web browser displays a web document and
enables users to access web document.
 WEB Server
This Is a program that waits patiently for the
browser to request a web page. The server looks for
the requested information, retrieves it and send it to
the browser or sends an error message if the file is
not found.
 Uniform Resource Locator(URL)
These are the web addresses. The resource locater is
an addressing system.

HOW TO ACCESS THE WEB?

 Written by william F. Slater, lol


 1996
 President of the Chicago chapter of the internet
society.
CREATING A WEB PAGE!
 Web page are generally sets of text files coded with
special notation called Hypertext Language
(HTML)that is interpreted by a web browser program
reading the file.
DIFF.. BEETWEEN INTERNET AND WWW…?
 Many people use the turns internet and world wide
web, but in fact the two terms are not synonymous.
The internet and the web are two separate but
related things.
 The internet is a massive network of networks. It
connects millions of computer together globally,
forming a network in which any computer can
communicate with any other computer as long as
they are both connected to the internet.
 The www, or simply web is a way of accessing
information over the medium of the internet.
 So the web is just a portion of the internet, albeit a
large portion, but the two terms are not
synonymous and should not be confused.

WORLD WIDE WEB Success!!


 World wide web successed because it was simple!
 Didn’t attempt to maintain links, just a common wav
to name things.

EXAMPLES:

 www.juw.edu.pk
 www.google.com
 WWW.MSN.COM
CONCLUSOIN :
 The world wide web have today was created by
some very bright, talented people who either had
vision, or were inspired by other talented people’s
visions.
 Though their ideas were not always popular, they
pressed ahead.
 Their perseverance and hard work brought us to
where we are today.
 There is a lot to be learned by studying these people,
their early work and keeping in mind what they had
to work with.
 www is the largest source of information in an open
platform.
