what is www? explain its working? and what is Internet? explain the operation of Internet?

Question

wwww is a world wide web.

Answer 1

Just a warning to you all, this is a lengthy answer. It's taken from a paper I wrote last year on the importance of web standards:



Something that the average internet surfer might not realize is that behind every web page lies a whole bunch of code that, to the lay person, is seemingly gibberish. This code is called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). HTML uses tags such as

Answer 2

Www Explain

Answer 3

WWW (World Wide Web) is made up of many Internets. An Internet is a number of Networks joined together to form a larger Network and a Network is two or more computers linked together. If you imagine a fishing net, that is a network. At every joint, there is an imaginary PC and they are all linked through each other. Now imagine taking 1,000 fishing nets and joining those together, that is your Internet and now imagine joining all the fishing nets on this planet together and you have a World Wide Web. You can also use spiders webs for examples. The use of WWW is for computers to recognise that they are looking for an address on the World Wide Web rather than looking for an address on a local network or on the PC in use. For example, if I wanted to browse your public files and your name is Billy King, I would try WWW which tells my PC to look in the World Wide Web. Then I would try .billyking.com, which tells my computer to go to World Wide Web and then to a company called billyking. If I put .co.uk, because you are based in Bristol, it says go to the company called billyking, in the UK. Basically, it's just a postal address for computers. I can tell my computer to go to the bank and collect my statement or go to Tesco's and order a case of wine, or even go to my work place and collect a file.

Answer 4

Howdy! Someone in my facebook group shared this link so I came to give it a look. I'm definitely enjoying the information. I am bookmarking and will be tweeting it to my followers!

Answer 5

as you say world wide web,,,,its like all the computers in a web...cabling wireless etc. communicating information and sharing information is the internet it is one big network of computers

Answer 6

Haven't thought about that

Answer 7

www means world wide web.

The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a global information medium which users can read and write via computers connected to the Internet. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself, but the Web is a service that operates over the Internet, as e-mail does. The history of the Internet dates back significantly further than that of the World Wide Web.

The origins of the actual World Wide Web can be traced back to 1980, however. It is essentially a merger of IBM's Generalized Markup Language with a very limited implementation of Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu hypertext designs, both of which predate HTML and the World Wide Web by decades. Since its implementation in the 1990s as an academic system for sharing papers, the World Wide Web has evolved far beyond what its creators imagined.

In 1980, the Englishman Tim Berners-Lee and Alex Hawtin, independent contractors at CERN, built ENQUIRE, as a personal database of people and software models, but also as a way to play with hypertext; each new page of information in ENQUIRE had to be linked to an existing page.

Another major development occurred when Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf introduced Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in 1977 for cross-network connections.[1] Although it had used the older Network Control Protocol (NCP) since its establishment in 1969, ARPANET and its associated networks slowly began a transition to the new protocol during the 1970s. In 1978, Internet Protocol was added to TCP, responsible for the routing of messages. The TCP/IP combination was officially adopted by ARPANET and its partners in 1983, redefining the Internet as networks using the TCP/IP network. The standardisation of network protocols helped lay the foundations for the later growth of the World Wide Web.

In 1984 Alex Hawtin returned to CERN, and considered its problems of information presentation: physicists from around the world needed to share data, with no common machines and no common presentation software. He wrote a proposal in March 1989 for "a large hypertext database with typed links", but it generated little interest. His boss, Mike Sendall, encouraged Berners-Lee to begin implementing his system on a newly acquired NeXT workstation. He considered several names, including Information Mesh, The Information Mine (Turned down as it abbreviates to TIM, the WW's creators' name) or Mine of Information (Turned down because it abbreviates to MOI which is "Me" in French), but settled on World Wide Web.[citation needed]

He found an enthusiastic collaborator in Robert Cailliau, who rewrote the proposal (published on November 12, 1990) and sought resources within CERN. Berners-Lee and Cailliau pitched their ideas to the European Conference on Hypertext Technology in September 1990, but found no vendors who could appreciate their vision of marrying hypertext with the Internet.

By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web: the first Web browser, WorldWideWeb, (which was also a Web editor), the first Web server (info.cern.ch), and the first Web pages that described the project itself. The browser could access Usenet newsgroups and FTP files as well. However, it could run only on the NeXT; Nicola Pellow therefore created a simple text browser that could run on almost any computer. To encourage use within CERN, they put the CERN telephone directory on the web — previously users had had to log onto the mainframe in order to look up phone numbers.

Paul Kunz from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center visited CERN in May 1991, and was captivated by the Web. He brought the NeXT software back to SLAC, where librarian Louise Addis adapted it for the VM/CMS operating system on the IBM mainframe as a way to display SLAC’s catalog of online documents; this was the first web server outside CERN and the first in North America.[citation needed]

On August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet.

The WorldWideWeb (WWW) project aims to allow links to be made to any information anywhere. [...] The WWW project was started to allow high energy physicists to share data, news, and documentation. We are very interested in spreading the web to other areas, and having gateway servers for other data. Collaborators welcome!" —from Tim Berners-Lee's first message
