/ and \
Forward slashes ( / ) are typically used to delimit directories in Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs, or more commonly (but incorrectly) known as URLs). The URI specification is outlined by RFC-1630 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1630 )
Back slashes ( \ ) are typically used to delimit directories in a file system path.

Hi. In a command line one slash is a switch and the other separates parameters. Most browsers will accept either in a URL.

This is a forward slash: /
This is a backward slash: \

/ - forward slash points forward
\ - backward slash points backwards

Pretty obvious isnt it? One leans one way and the other leans the other!
