SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE WEB

BASIC WEB FUNCTIONS

Web sites and pages move from computer to computer something like this:

When you browse the Web, your computer (client) sends out an HTTP request to a server (the computer which houses the requested information).

The server then sends back an HTML -- hypertext markup language Web page. Web documents or "pages" are usually written in HTML or similar Web "languages".

HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) is the computer protocol that can read HTML documents or pages.
