Define Web
The Web is the common name for the World Wide Web, a subset of the Internet consisting of the pages
that can be accessed by a Web browser. The Web is just one of the ways that information is shared over
the Internet; others include email, instant messaging and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
The terms Internet and World Wide Web are often used without much distinction. However, the two
terms do not mean the same thing. The Internet is a global system of computer
networks interconnected through telecommunications and optical networking. In contrast, the World
Wide Web is a global collection of documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URIs.
Web resources are accessed using HTTP or HTTPS, which are application-level Internet protocols
that use the Internet's transport protocols.
A web browser is an application for accessing websites and the Internet.[1] When a user requests
a web page from a particular website, the browser retrieves its files from a web server and then
displays the page on the user's screen. Browsers are used on a range of devices,
including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. In 2020, an estimated 4.9 billion people have
used a browser.[2] The most used browser is Google Chrome, with a 65% global market share on all
devices, followed by Safari with 18% The purpose of a web browser is to fetch content from
the World Wide Web or from local storage and display it on a user's device.[7] This process begins
when the user inputs a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), such as https://en.wikipedia.org/ ,
into the browser..[3]
define http:
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the foundation of the World Wide Web, and is used to
load webpages using hypertext links. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed to transfer
information between networked devices and runs on top of other layers of the
network protocol stack. A typical flow over HTTP involves a client machine making a request to a
server, which then sends a response message. Through the HTTP protocol, resources are
exchanged between client devices and servers over the internet. Client devices send requests
to servers for the resources needed to load a web page; the servers send responses back to the
client to fulfill the requests. Requests and responses share sub-documents -- such as data on
images, text, text layouts, etc.
Define URL:
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a given
unique resource on the Web. In theory, each valid URL points to a unique resource. It contains
various elements, including the network communication protocol, a subdomain, a domain
name, and its extension.
Define HDML:
The Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML) is a simple language used to define
hypertext-like content and applications for hand-held devices with small displays like
mobile phones,PDA’s, etc. rather than using a programming language
to perform functions, HTML uses tags to identify different
types of content and the purposes they each serve to the
webpage.
Define css:
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a
Once you have loaded and
document written in a markup language such as HTML or XML .
parsed the HTML content and CSS styling, the process to combine them
occurs in two separate stages. First, the browser converts them into the
Document Object Model (DOM). Once the DOM combines the content and
style of the document and is a representation of the document within the
memory of the computer, the browser will display the content.
