Catatan pelajaran

Internet vs World Wide Web

The Internet is a global network of networks (a WAN) that provides connectivity.
The World Wide Web is a collection of websites and web pages accessed via the Internet.
The Internet includes other services like email, FTP, and VoIP, not just the web.
The web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee.

Network Protocols: HTTP & HTTPS

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) governs communication between a client and server for web pages.
HTTPS is HTTP with an added layer of encryption for security.
HTTPS protects sensitive data like passwords and financial information.
A common exam answer: 'HTTPS encrypts data being transmitted, unlike HTTP.'

Web Browser

A web browser is software to access and display web pages by rendering HTML.
Key functions: navigation tools (back/forward), bookmarks, cookies, history, address bar, multiple tabs.
Browsers interpret HTML code and translate it into a visual display.

Web Servers

A web server is a remote computer that stores website files (hosting).
Servers are typically available 24/7 and can handle multiple users simultaneously.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

A URL is a unique text-based address for a web page.
It consists of three parts: protocol (e.g., https), domain name (e.g., www.example.com), and file path (e.g., /page).

DNS (Domain Name System)

The DNS translates human-readable domain names into numeric IP addresses.
It acts like a phone book for the Internet.
Without DNS, users would have to remember IP addresses of every website.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

HTML is the language used to structure and present content on web pages.
It uses tags (e.g., <html>, <h1>, <p>) to define structure and formatting.
HTML organises content into sections (headers, paragraphs, footers) and presents it with headings, text, images, etc.
The browser renders HTML to display the page visually.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file stored by the browser containing browsing activity info.
Session cookies are stored in RAM, deleted when the browser closes; used to track current session (e.g., shopping cart).
Persistent cookies are stored on the hard drive, remain until expiry or manual deletion; remember login details and preferences across visits.

Loading a Web Page (Process)

User enters a URL in the browser's address bar.
Browser sends the domain name to a DNS to get the IP address.
Browser connects to the web server and requests the page.
Server sends HTML data back; browser renders it to display the page.
