Glossary of Terms (primarily created from wikipedia):
- Caching
- A temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be
stored for rapid access.
A cache of recently visited web pages can be managed by your web browser. Some browsers are configured to use an external proxy web cache, a server program through which all web requests are routed so that it can cache frequently accessed pages for everyone in an organization. Many internet service providers use proxy caches to save bandwidth on frequently-accessed web pages. - Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
- a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL. The CSS specifications are maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
- domain name
- The most common type of domain names are hostnames that provide more memorable names to stand in for numeric IP addresses. They allow for any service to move to a different location in the topology of the Internet (or an intranet), which would then have a different IP address.
- HTML
- stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- HTTP
- (hypertext transfer protocol) to fetch web pages. HTTP allows web browsers to submit information to web servers as well as fetch web pages from them.
- URL
- (uniform resource locator), which is treated as an address, beginning with http: for HTTP access
- What is the Web?
- The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks. The Web was created around 1990 by the Englishman Tim Berners-Lee and the Belgian Robert Cailliau working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. As its inventor, Berners-Lee conceived the Web to be the Semantic Web where all its contents should be descriptively marked-up.
- What is the Internet?
- The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
- Web browser and Web server
-
The client-server model is used today on the Internet, where a user (client) may connect to a service operating on a remote system (server) through the internet protocol. A browser is a software application that visually presents web pages from a Web server to the client’s (user) computer when requested over the Internet.
-
A web server is computer that is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from clients, which are known as Web browsers, and serving them HTTP responses along with optional data contents, which usually are Web pages such as HTML documents and linked objects (images, etc.).
- Web Standards
- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), along with other groups and standards bodies, has established technologies for creating and interpreting web-based content. These technologies, which are called “web standards,” are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web.
- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
- develops specifications, guidelines, software, and tools to lead the Web to its full potential.
- WYSIWYG
- "What you see is what you get" software. Gives the author a visual display of the final output.
- XHTML
- eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language
