20 Things I Learned About the Web!
1. It is different for different people, but the history tells us a little more. It all started by ECP/IP when it created a set of rules that allowed computers to talk to each other. The creators then found if information were sent in packets or chunks, it would be received easier. Bandwidth refers to the speed of the Internet, and this can be close to the speed of light. The Internet is the “backbone” that allows us to view and do everything within the World Wide Web. 2. Cloud computing is this phenomenon that is almost like having a massive supercomputer at your beck and call, thanks to the Internet. This allows people to pay bills online, make reservations, and other daily tasks. I wouldn’t want an 18-wheeler to run over my laptop, but I would be able to save all documents, files, and photos on the Web, and I would be able to access them all!
3. App I shorthand for application, and can be called programs or software. Google Maps is an example of a web app that allows users to use this app from the Internet. The 4 virtues of Appiness include—1.I can access my data from anywhere. 2. I’ll always get the latest version of any app. 3. It works on every device with a web browser. 4. It’s safer!
4. HTML is the web programming language used to tell web browsers how to structure and present content on a webpage. The scripting language is known as JavaScript, and it basically allows for faster operating because it uses real time. CSS, which is Cascading Style Sheets, gives programmers an easy way to define a web page’s layout and beautify the page with design elements like colors, rounded corners, gradients, and animation. All of these inventions have made the web an open and friendly construction platform for web developers.
5. This is the latest version of HTML, and it is a set of capabilities that gives web designers and developers the ability to create the next generation of great online applications. As an open standard, HTML5 embodies some of the best aspects of the web it works everywhere, and on any device with a modern browser.
6. 3D browser us a big deal because it now joins with HTML5, JavaScript, and other nifty new technologies in the toolkit that web developers cab us to create a powerful new generation of web applications. This means great new ways to visualize the information use find useful, and more fun online with engaging 3D environments and games.
7. Upgrading to a modern browser is important for 3 reasons—1. Old browsers are vulnerable to attacks. 2. The web evolves quickly. 3. Old browsers slow down innovation on the web.
8. Plug-ins was created to deliver more interactive content. It is defined as an additional piece of software that specializes in processing particular types of content. An example is Adobe Flash Player.
9. These let you add new features to your browser—literally extending your browser. Browser Extensions can also act on their own, outside of web pages. An email notifier extension can live on your browser toolbar, quietly check for new messages in your email account and let you know when one arrives.
10. Many of today’s browsers have begun building a feature known as synchronization (sync for short). Sync lets you save your browser settings online, in the cloud, so they aren’t lost even if your computer melts down. This function also makes it easier to access information if you have multiple computers.
11. A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It contains information about your visit that you may want the site to remember later.
12. Browser security helps protect you from malware, phishing, and other online attacks, while privacy features help keep your browsing private on your computer.
13. Phishing takes place when someone masquerades as someone else, often with a fake website, to trick you into sharing personal information. Malware is malicious software installed on your machine, usually without your knowledge. An up-to-date, modern web browser is the first line of defense against phishing and malware attacks.
14. This does so by limiting three types of security risks when you’re online—1. How often you come into contact with an attacker. 2. How vulnerable your browser is if it’s attacked. 3. How much damage is done if an attacker finds vulnerabilities in your browser.
15. There are 3 parts to a web URL—The scheme is the first part of the URL. The host is the next part, and it is where the website resides. A URL may have an additional path often the hostname, which sends you a specific page on that most—like jumping right to a chapter or page in a book.
16. An IP address is a series of numbers that tells us where a particular device is on the Internet network, be it the google.com server on your computer.
17. There are tools to help you determine if a website is genuine or not. Some websites have an extended validation certificate that allows you to determine the name of the organization that runs the website.
18. The web today is an amazing visual and interactive stew, streaming with images, photos, videos, and whizzy web apps. Some of the web’s most vivid experiences come from images and videos, from shared photo albums of family vacations to online video coverage from journalists in war zones.
19. Open source means that the inner workings (or source code) of software are made available to al, and the software is written in an open, collaborative way.
20. The final takeaways—use a modern browser, the web will keep evolving, and lastly, try new things!!
