Internet:

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. It uses the


standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to connect billions of users worldwide. In
simple terms it is a network of networks. Internet is a short form of the technical term
internetwork. The Internet is also often referred to as the Net.

Webpage:
A webpage is a document or information resource that is suitable for the WWW.

Website:
A website a collection of related web pages.

URL:
a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the unique address for a file that is accessible on
the Internet. The first part of the address is called a protocol identifier and it indicates
what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP
address or the domain name where the resource is located.

Web-Server:
A web server can be referred to as the hardware, the computer or the software, the
computer application that helps to deliver content that can be accessed through the
internet. A web server is what makes it possible to be able to access content like web
pages, or other data from anywhere as long as it is connected to the internet. The most
common use of web servers are to host websites. The primary function of a web server is
to deliver web pages to clients.

Web-Client:

It is a computer application, such as a web browser, that runs on a user's local


computer or workstation and connects to a server as necessary. All the webpages or
websites are accessed using the web-client.

DNS:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system. It translates


domain names to ip-address and ip-address to domain names.

IP-address:

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each


device which is on a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for
communication.. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network
interface identification and location addressing.

HTML:

HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup
language for web pages. A markup language is a set of markup tags, and HTML uses
markup tags to describe web pages.

It tells how the information has to be displayed or rendered on the browser.

Types of Web pages:

1>Static

2>Dynamic
Static:

A static web page displays the same information for all users, from all contexts.

Dynamic:

A dynamic web page is a kind of web page that has been prepared with fresh
information (content and/or layout), for each individual viewing. It is not static
because it changes with the time (ex. a news content), the user (ex. preferences in a
login session), the user interaction (ex. web page game).

Scripting:

Client-side scripting:

The Client-side content is generated on the user's computer. The web browser
retrieves a page from the server, then processes the code embedded in the page (often
written in JavaScript) and displays the retrieved page's content to the user.

Ex: JavaScript or Action Script.

Server-side scripting:

Server-side dynamic content is more complicated: (1) The client sends the server the
request. (2) The server receives the request and processes the server-side script
