Summary of Web Project 1: The Web

The Internet is a network of computers from all over the world. No one is in overall control of the Internet. The World Wide Web, or Web, is the part of the Internet that has documents called web pages that are written in HTML, HyperText Markup Language. You use a browser like Internet Explorer 4 to view the web pages. Web pages include text and image links. Clicking a link opens the page at the address attached to the link. An Internet address consists of several parts: protocol://domain/path. The domain has several parts separated by the dot character, like www.myisp.net The path lists the hierarchy of folders down to the actual file like ~myname/mywebdocs/index.html

Internet Explorer has Back and Forward buttons to move you back and forth between pages you just saw. With the History and Favorites lists you can visit places you saw longer ago. Framed pages show two or more documents at the same time. With frames some information can stay in view while you view various documents in a different frame.

You can subscribe to a page or download it for viewing when you are offline. You can save a document manually with your browser but you must then save the images separately. You can print a web page or a selection using your browser, but it may not fit on your paper. Search engines and web directory sites can help you find interesting and helpful pages on the Internet using keywords or categories.
