NETWORKING CONCEPTS
Network:
A group of two or more computers or computing devices connected via a form of
communications technology is called network
(or)
The collection of interconnected computers is called as a computer network.
Two computers are said to be interconnected if they are capable of sharing and
exchanging information.
A Computer network is a group of computers that shares information across wireless or
wired technology.Computer networking requires two computers, a protocol and the
hardware to connect them.
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
Network Topology is the schematic description of a network arrangement, connecting
various nodes(sender and receiver) through lines of connection
(or)
The term “Topology” refers to the way in which the end points or stations or computers
attached to the networks or interconnected.
1.BUS Topology
Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected
to single cable.
2. RING Topology
In this type of topology as each computer is connected to a loop of cable, the “ring”.It has
exactly two neighbors for each device.
Features of Ring Topology
1. A number of repeaters are used for Ring topology with large number of nodes
2. The transmission is unidirectional
3. Data is transferred in a sequential manner i.e. bit by
bit
Advantages of Ring Topology
1. Cheap to install and expand
Disadvantages of Ring Topology
1. Troubleshooting is difficult
2. Adding or deleting the computers disturbs the
network activity.
3. Failure of one computer disturbs the whole network.
3. STAR Topology
In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a central device, called “hub”
through a cable. All others nodes are connected to the central node.
Features of Star Topology
1. Every node connected with hub.
2. Hub acts as a repeater for data flow.
Advantages of Star Topology
1. Fast performance with few nodes
2. Hub can be upgraded easily.
3. Easy to troubleshoot.
4. Easy to setup and modify.
Disadvantages of Star Topology
1. Cost of installation is high.
2. Expensive to use.
3. If the hub fails then the whole network is stopped
4. MESH Topology
It is a point-to-point connection to other nodes or devices. All the nodes are connected to
each other. Mesh has n(n-1)/2 physical channels to link n
devices. There are two techniques to transmit data over
the Mesh topology, they are:
1. Routing
2. Flooding
Features of Mesh Topology
1. Fully connected.
2. Robust.
3. Not flexible.
Advantages of Mesh Topology
1. Each connection can carry its own data load.
2. It is robust.
3. Fault is diagnosed easily.
4. Provides security and privacy.
Disadvantages of Mesh Topology
1. Installation and configuration is difficult.
2. Cabling cost is more.
3. Bulk wiring is required.
5. TREE Topology
It has a root node and all other nodes are connected to root node forming a hierarchy. It is
also called hierarchical topology. It should at least have three levels to the hierarchy.
Features of Tree Topology
1. Ideal if workstations are located in groups.
2. Used in Wide Area Network.
Advantages of Tree Topology
1. Extension of bus and star topologies.
2. Expansion of nodes is possible and easy.
3. Easily managed and maintained.
4. Error detection is easily done.
Disadvantages of Tree Topology
1. Heavily cabled.
2. Costly.
3. If more nodes are added maintenance is difficult.
4. Central hub fails, network fails.
6. HYBRID Topology
The hybrid topology is a combination of 2 or more topologies.
Features of Hybrid Topology
1. It is a combination of two or topologies
Advantages of Hybrid Topology
1. Reliable as Error detecting
2. Easy to trouble shoot
3. Effective
4. flexible
Disadvantages of Hybrid Topology
1. Complex in design.
2. Costly.
DATA COMMUNICATION
Data is represented by computers and other telecommunication devices using signals.
Signals are transmitted in the form of electromagnetic energy from one device to another.
Electromagnetic signals travel through vacuum, air or other transmission mediums to
travel between one point to another (from source to receiver).
Electromagnetic energy (includes electrical and magnetic fields) includes power, voice,
visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet light, gamma rays etc.
The exchange of data between two devices through a transmission medium is Data
Communication.The data is exchanged in the form of 0’s and 1’s.Data Communication has
two types Local and Remote
b) Co-axial cable
2. UnGuided Media
Unguided or wireless media sends the data through air (or water), which is available to
anyone who has a device capable of receiving them.It can be further classified in to following
a)Radio Waves
These are used for multi-cast communication, such as radio and television.
They can penetrate through walls.
Its frequency is between 10 kHz to 1GHz
b)Micro Waves
It travels at high frequency than the radio waves.
It operates in a system with a low gigahertz range.
It is mostly used for uni-cast communication such as cellular telephones and wireless
LANs.
They cannot penetrate through walls.
INTERNET
“An interconnected system of networks that connects computers around the world via
TCP/IP protocol”
(or)
“Internet is a computer network consisting of a worldwide network of networks that use the
TCP/IP protocol to facilitate data transmission and exchange”
Internet Services:
Internet Services allows us to access huge amount of information such as text,
graphics, sound and software over the internet.
1. Communication Services
There are various Communication Services available that offer exchange of information
with individuals or groups.
Service Description
Electronic Mail Used to send electronic messages over the
internet.
Telnet Used to log on to a remote computer that is
connected to internet.
Newsgroup Offers a forum for people to discuss topics of
common interests.
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Allows the people from all over the world to
communicate in real time.
Mailing Lists Used to organize group of internet users to share
common Information through e-mail.
Instant Messaging Offers real time chat between individuals and
group of people. Eg. Yahoo messenger, MSN
messenger
INTERNET PROTOCOLS
Several protocols are used on the Internet like Electronic Mail (e-mail), File Transfer
Protocol(FTP), HTTP (World Wide Web), News (or Usenet), Gopher and Telnet.
1. E-mail
“It is used for sending and receiving messages electronically over a computer network”.
Sending messages is done by SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and receiving
messages is done by POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3), or IMAP (Internet Message
Access Protocol).
2. SMPT Protocol:
SMTP is a protocol used for sending mail, while IMAP and POP3 are used for
receiving. However the most popular setup for most providers is to use SMTP for
sending mail while using POP3 for receiving.
3. File Transfer Protocol:
File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is a means of transferring a file from one computer to
another.
FTP is commonly used for uploading a web page to a web server so that may be seen
on the World Wide Web.
4. HTTP Protocol (World Wide Web):
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is the protocol used by web server to allow
web pages to be shown in a web browser.In the address bar of your web browser,
every website which you want to visit, it has prefixed “http://” in front of the address.The
http tells the browser what kind of information to expect.
5. Gopher:
Another tool of the Internet is Gopher, a menu-based program that enables you to
browse for information without knowing where the material is located.
6. Telnet:
Telnet allows the user to log in to a remote computer and make use of it.
7. Usenet
It allows automatic global distribution of news messages among thousands of user
groups,called newsgroups.
INTERNET ADDRESSING
IP address
An IP address is a unique number that identifies computers on internet.Every client,server
and network device must have a unique IP address for each network connection.We have
2 types of IP addressing formats.Those are IPv4 and IPv6.
1. IPv4
IPv4 is made up of 4 bytes(32 bit) of information expressed as four numbers between 0 to
255separated by dots. This is commonly referred to as dotted decimal notation.
Here is a simple example of an IP address:
192.168.1.1
There are two parts of an IP address:
Network ID
Host ID
2. IPv6
Network industry is moving to adopt new version of IPv6. IPv6 have several new
features. IPv6 is 128 bits. It has eight octet pairs, each with 16 bits and written in
hexadecimal as follows:
2b63:1478:1ac5:37ef:4e8c:75df:14cd:93f2
Domain and Host Names
The name of the each host computer consists of a series of words separated by
dots.Most computers on the internet have domain names.The last part of the domain name is
called the Top-level Domain or Zone and is either 2 or 3 letters long.
The 3 letter zone indicates the type of organization and 2 letter zones indicates the
country in which the organization that owns the computer located.
Domain Description
Com commercial/Individual
Edu education
Gov government
Mil military
Net network related companies
Int international organizations
Some domains organized by country,using two character national identification codes.
Domain Description
In India

2. Interpreted viruses
1. Compiled Viruses: It is that kind of a virus whose code is converted by the compiler into
a format which can be directly executed by an operating system.
Boot Sector Virus –
Viruses which infect DBR/MBR (Dos Boot Recorder/Master Boot Recorder) are
referred to as Boot Sector Virus.
Boot sector is the section which is accessed at the very first when the computer is
turned on. It is used to boot the information used by the operating system.
A Boot sector virus gains complete control over the Master Boot Record (MDR) or
the DOS by replacing the contents of the OS with errors during booting
Michelangelo and Stones are some examples of boot sector viruses.
File Infector Virus –
Viruses which infect executable files are referred to as File Infector Virus.
It replace a portion of the original file with its own code, thus corrupting the file or
It attaches itself to executable programs
The virus continues to infect files till the machine is switched-off or reboot.
Examples of file infector virus are Cascade and Jerusalem.
Multipurpose Virus –
These viruses have the capability to infect DBR and MBR as well as executable
files.

Definition of E-mail - Advantages and Disadvantages – UserIds, Passwords,
Email Addresses, Domain Names, Mailers, Message Components, Message
Composition, Mail Management, Email Inner Workings
EMAIL
Electronic mail or e-mail is one of the most commonly used services on the Internet.
It allows people to send and receive messages to one or more recipients with an email
address.
Email was invented by Ray Tomlinson in 1972.E-mail system was based on Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), used for sending e-mails from one server to another.
Advantages of Email
1. Speed:
An e-mail is fast, based upon the speed of the communication network.
2. Reliable and secure:
Although the messages are occasionally lost, this is rear. Many mail systems will notify
the sender if an email message was undeliverable.
3. Inexpensive:
Once you are online, the cost of sending a message is low.
4. Printable:
A hard copy is easy to obtain. You can keep an electronic copy of message for your
own records.
5. Global:
Every increasingly people and business all over the world is using email.
6. Generality:
Email is not only limited to text, It is also possible to send graphics, programs and
sounds with an e-mail.
7. Automated e-mails:
It is possible to send automated e-mails using special programs like “autoresponders”
8. Use of graphics:
Colorful greeting cards and interesting pictures can be sent through e-mails.
9. Advertising tool:
Now a days, many individuals and companies are using the e-mail service to advertise
their products, services, etc.
Disadvantages of Email
Apart from several benefits of E-mail, there also exist some disadvantages:
1. Forgery
E-mail doesn’t prevent from forgery, that is, someone impersonating the sender, since
sender is usually not authenticated in any way.
2. Overload
Convenience of E-mail may result in a flood of mail.
3. Misdirection
It is possible that you may send e-mail to an unintended recipient
4. Junk
Junk emails are sometimes referred to as ‘spam’. Junk emails are undesirable and
inappropriate emails.
5. No response
It may be frustrating when the recipient does not read the e-mail and respond on a
regular basis.
2. Password
To prevent other people from using your account, you are required to have a
password.
A password is a secret code that authenticates the user to the system.
A password allows you and only you to access the computer system through your
userid.
Rules for Password:
Passwords must be 7-14 characters
Passwords must include at least one letter and one number
Passwords cannot contain spaces, Semicolons
Passwords are case-sensitive
Do not use your User ID as your Password
If you forget your User ID or Password, you can retrieve them.
3. Email addresses
Electronic mail must be addressed properly.
It starts with the mail name of the person, followed by various address components,
ending with the "Top level" domain.
Email addresses consist of 2 parts: the “User Name” and “Domain Name”, which are
separated by the character "@" (the "at” sign).
An email address can be up to 255 characters long and contains lowercase letters
,digits and special characters ".","_" and "-" (full stop, underscore, and hyphen)
Syntax:
The basic form of the email address is as follows:
username@hostname.subdomain
Example: bhavitha@accenture.com
This address has top level domain of “com”.The sub domain “Accenture” is a
commercial entity and bhavitha is a user who works at Accenture.
DOMAIN NAMES
Domain name refers to a group of networks that are under the administrative control
of single entity like a company or organization.
The DNS was developed to help people remember the computer addresses. The IP
address like 192.168.12.100 is difficult to remember but the DNS is easy to
remember. For example, www.google.com, www.yahoo.com etc.
Most computers on the internet have domain names. The last part of the domain
name is called the Top-level Domain or Zone and is either 2 or 3 letters long.
The 3 letter zone indicates the type of organization and 2 letter zones indicates
the country in which the organization that owns the computer located.
There are several domain names available. Some of them are generic while some of
them are country level domain names.
MESSAGE COMPONENTS
The email message contains the following components:
1. Header
2. Greeting
3. Text
4. Signature
1. Header
The top part of the mail is called
header.
A header contains the following:
a) From: Indicates the sender’s
email address.
b) To: Indicates the recipient's
email address.
c) Subject: Indicates the title or
purpose of the email message.
MESSAGE COMPOSITION
The manner of composing a
message may vary from one mail
program to another. However the
basic elements remain same.
1. Open the email client (e.g.
Microsoft Outlook) or if using
webmail open a browser and
enter the webmail address
(e.g. http://www.gmail.com)
and log in.
2. Click 'New' or 'Compose'.
3. In the new message window,
type the e-mail addresses of
the recipients in the To field,
or use the Address book to
select one or more of the
addresses.
4. In the CC field, enter the address of anyone you want to receive a copy of the
message. Type the e-mail address or choose it from the address book.
5. Type the subject of the message.
6. Now type your message in the ‘Body’ field.
7. Finally, click on the Send button to send the mail.
MAILER FEATURES
Most mailers provide functionality for manipulating your mail box contents, composing
messages and saving messages to the disk. A typical mailer will contain a series of buttons
with names such as compose, copy, delete, edit, forward, move, and reply and so on.
Working of Mail
1. The sender composes a message using the email client on their computer.
2. When the user sends the message, the email text and attachments are uploaded to the
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server as outgoing mail.
3. All outgoing messages wait in the outgoing mail queue while the SMTP server
communicates with the DNS (Domain Name Server) to find out where the recipient’s email
server is located.
4. If the SMTP server finds the recipient’s email server, it will transfer the message and
attachments. If the recipient’s server can’t be found, the sender will get a “Mail Failure”
notification in their inbox.
5. The next time the recipient clicks “Send & Receive,” their email client will download all new
messages from their own email server. You’ve got mail!
EMAIL MANAGEMENT
Email is the second most common method of communication after the telephone and
some people receive hundreds of emails every day. Email messages can be divided into 3
main categories
a. The first category of emails, you may want to keep or delete the messages once you
have read it.
b. The second category might only require an answer
c. The third category could be a task or to-do item.
They are several ways to organize the different types of emails.
1. Check your emails on a planned, regular basis.
2. Read all of the messages on a particular topic or subject before you start
replying.

Web Applications, Web Terminologies, Web Browsers, URL – Components of
URL, Searching WWW – Search Engines and Examples
History of WWW
Before the World Wide Web, the Internet was very difficult to navigate. The information
on it was tough to find. Locating and downloading files on the Internet needed some UNIX
skills and specialized tools to get the job done.
The concept of WWW was developed at the European Practical Research Centre
(CERN) by Tim Berners Lee in 1989.In 1993, the first graphical interface software package
called “Mosaic” was released.
The Mosaic became so popular that a year later, the author of Mosaic, ”Mark
Andresen” left the Nation Centre for Supercomputing Applications, where Mosaic was
developed forming a company called Netscape Communications Corp. This company
developed the clients, servers and other Web software.
In the year 1994, CERN and MIT of USA decided to setting up the World Wide Web
Consortium. Since, this time hundreds of universities and companies joined in the
Consortium.
In the first year of Mosaic released, the no. of WWW servers grew from 100 to
7000.The growth will be exponential in the year to come and use of internet into every walk of
life of human being.
W3C is the home of the widely deployed PNG raster format, SVG vector format, and the
Canvas API. WebCGM is a more specialized format used in the fields of automotive
engineering, aeronautics.
4. Audio and Video
Some of the W3C formats that enable audio and video presentations include HTML, SVG,
and SMIL.
5. Accessibility
W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has published Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) to help authors create content that is accessible to people with
disabilities.
6. Privacy
The Web is a powerful tool for communications and transactions. It is important to
consider privacy and security implications of the Web as part of technology design.
7. Math on the Web
W3C’s MathML enables mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the World
Wide Web, for other types of content.
WEB TERMINOLOGIES
1. Page/Web Page
A file that can be read over the World Wide Web (or) a document on the WWW
identified by URL.
2. Pages/Web Pages
The global collection of web documents associated with and accessible via the World
Wide Web.
3. Website
A global collection of web pages belonging to particular person or organization.
4. Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
A string of characters that specify the address of a web page (Or) A global Collection of
website address. URL’s are the standard way of locating and retrieving information on
the World Wide Web. They tell to browser what piece of information to retrieve, how to
get to it, and what protocol to use in the process.
5. Web Server
It is a computer connected to the internet which is responsible for storing, retrieving
and distributing some of the web files.
6. Hyperlink
A string of clickable text or clickable graphics that points to another web page or
document.
7. Web Browser

12. Home page
A web page that is the starting page and acts as an indexed page is home page.
WEB BROWSERS
A web browser is an interface that helps a user to access all the content in the Internet
and the hard disk of the computer.
The user can navigate through files, folders and websites with the help of a browser.
When the browser is used for browsing web pages, the pages may contain certain links which
can be opened in a new browser.
Multiple tabs and windows of the same browser can also be opened. There are four
leading web browsers: Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Safari but there are many others
browsers available.
Types of Browsers:
1. Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (formerly MicrosoftInternet Explorer, Windows internet explorer) is
developed by Microsoft. This is the most commonly used browser in the universe. This
was introduced in 1995 along with Windows 95 OS and it has passed Netscape
popularity in 1998.The recent version of internet explorer is
2. Google Chrome
This web browser is developed by Google and its beta version was first released on
September 2, 2008 for Microsoft Windows. Today, chrome is known to be one of the
most popular web browsers with its global share of more than 50%.
3. Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox (simply Firefox) is a new, free and open source web browser derived
from Mozilla Corporation. It is available for windows, Linux and also for Android
versions. It was released in 2004 under the name ‘phoenix’.
4. Safari
Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. and included in Mac OS X. It was first
released as a public beta in January 2003. Safari has very good support for latest
technologies like XHTML, CSS2 etc.
5. Opera
Opera is smaller and faster than most other browsers, yet it is full- featured. It is Fast,
user-friendly, multiple windows, zoom functions, and more. Java and non Java-enabled
versions available.
6. Konqueror
Konqueror is an Open Source web browser with HTML 4, supporting Java applets,
JavaScript, CSS 1, CSS 2, as well as Netscape plug-ins. This works as a file manager
as well as it supports basic file management on local UNIX file systems, from simple
cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing.
7. Lynx
Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web browser for users on UNIX, VMS, and other
platforms. It does not support graphics, audio and video. Using this browser we can
navigate only text-webpages.
The scheme and host components of a URL are not defined as case-sensitive, but the path
and query string are case sensitive. Typically, the whole URL is specified in lowercase.
Advantage:
o They contain a huge amount of pages.
o Ease of use.
o Familiarity. Most people who search the Internet are familiar with Google.
Disadvantages:
o Sometimes, it's just too much information.
o It is easy to trick the crawler.
o Page rank can be manipulated.
2. Directories
Directories are human powered search engines. Human-powered directories are good
when you are interested in a general topic of search. In this situation, a directory can guide
and help you narrow your search and get refined results. Yahoo, LookSmart, Open
Directory Project and the Internet Public Library are examples of directories.
Advantages:
o Each page is reviewed for relevance and content before being included. This means
nomore surprise porn sites.
o Less result sometimes means finding what you need quicker.
Disadvantages:
o Unfamiliar design and format.
o Delay in creation of a website and its inclusion in the directory.
o May have trouble with more obscure searches.
3. Hybrids
Hybrids are a mix of crawlers and directories. Sometimes, you have a choice when you
search whether to search the Web or a directory. Other times, you may receive both human
powered results and crawler results for the same search. In this case, the human results are
usually listed first.Yahoo and MSN Search are examples of hybrid search engines.

BASICS OF HTML
HTML:
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used to create or display web
pages.
Most of the documents on the World Wide Web were written in HTML
HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.
We can apply this markup language to our pages to display text, images, sound and
movie files, and almost any other type of electronic information
HTML uses a pre-defined set of tags to identify content types.
HTML TAG:
Atag is a name or string used to display the content in webpage.
Tags are defined within “<” and “>” characters. These are called as angle brackets
HTML tag comes in pairs. i.e., it contains opening or start tag and closing or end tag
HTML tags are pre-defined tags
HTML tags are not case sensitive.i.e.,<HEAD>,<head>,<hEaD> are equivalents
White Spaces, tabs and new lines are ignored by browser
Some characters are placed in the text by “Escape sequences”.
ATTRIBUTES:
Attributes are used to provide additional information about html tags.
The attributes are must specify in starting tag as
“attribute_name = attribute_value “
The value of the attribute placed within single or double quotes.
Every html tag contains attributes.
<html> tag
It indicates that the file is as HTML file.A basic html document contains opening <html> and
closing </html> tags.
Head Section

represented by <head> tag. It contains opening <head>and closing </head> tags.
The head section contains <title> tag.
<title> tag
It is used to display the content in the title bar of the browser window. It contains opening
<title> and closing </title> tags.
Body Section
It is used to display the content of the document.It is represented by <body> tag. The body
tag contains other HTML tags like <h1> for headings,<p> for paragraphs,<br> for break
element,<hr> for horizontal ruler.

3. Underline tag - <u>
This tag is used to underline the text.
Ex:<u>Underline tag</u>
4. Typewriting Text tag - <tt>
This tag is used to display a text in teletype format. i.e., type writing format.
Ex:<tt>Type writer text tag</tt>
5. Subscript tag - <sub>
This tag is used to display a text as subscript.i.e., text will be displayed below the
normal text.
Ex:<sub>subscript tag</sub>
6. Superscript tag - <sup>

the normal text..
Ex:<sup>superscript tag</sup>
9. Center tag - <center>
This tag is used to display a text in the Center of the webpage.
Ex: <center>Welcome</center>
Attributes of <hr>:
1. Width:
Specifies the length of the Horizontal rule to be displayed in a web page. It can be
specified either in pixels or percentage.
Ex:<hr width = “300”>
<hr width = “75%”>
2. Color:
Specifies the color of the horizontal rule to be displayed in a web page.
Ex:<hr color = “red”>
3. Size:

4. Align:
Specifies the alignment of the horizontal rule. By default the horizontal rules are aligned
to center.
Ex :< hr align = “center”>
2. Heading tags:
Heading tags are used to perform font changes.
By default, heading tags aligns the text on left side.
There are six levels of heading tags. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6.
H1 is the biggest in heading and H6 is the smallest heading.
We can change the alignment of the headings by using align attributes.
Syntax:
<h1 align=“left”|”center”|”right”>………. </h1>
Example:
<html><body>
<H1 align = “left”>Heading1</H1>
<H2 align = “left”>Heading2</H2>
<H3 align = “center”>Heading3</H3>
<H4 align = “center”>Heading4</H4>
<H5 align = “right”>Heading5</H5>
<H6 align = “right”>Heading6</H6>
</body></html>
3. Font tag
In html, the text can be altered in a number of ways.
a) <basefont> tag:
The <basefont> tag is used to apply font style, color and size for the entire
document.The sizeattribute value ranges from 1 to 7.
Syntax:<basefont size=”n”> ……</basefont>.
b) Font tag - <font>
The font tag is used to apply a specific font style, size, and color to the content within the
tag. The size attribute specifies the size in either relative or absolute. Absolute size
values are ranges from 1 to 7. Relative size values are ranges from +/- 1 to 7.
Syntax:<font size=”+n” | “-n” color=”#rrggbb”>………</font>
Attributes of <font>:
1. Color: This attribute specifies the color of the text to be displayed.
Ex: <font color = “red”> Hello </font>

<h1>Changing font sizes</h1> <font size=”-1”>t</font>
<basefont size=“3”> </basefont>
<p>here, some text with size 3 </body></html>
<p>and here is some
1. href (hyper linking reference): This attribute specifies the URL (address) of the page to
be loaded when the hyperlink is selected.
2. target: This attribute specify where to open the linked document. The default value is “
_self”.
LISTS
In html, the data can be displayed in the form of list also. HTML supports 3 types of lists.
These are
1) Ordered list
2) unordered list
3) Definition list.
1) Ordered List ( <ol> ):
A list is said to be ordered list, if the items are displayed by using either by digits or by
Alphabets or Roman numbers.
An ordered list is created by using the <ol> tag and each item starts with List tag <li>.
By default,digits are used to display the ordered list.
We can change the display of items using “type” attribute.
TYPE=”1” | ”A” | ”I” | ”a” | ”i”
Syntax: <ol type = “1” | “a” | “A” | “i” | “I” >…………………</ol>
Example: <html><body><h2>UG Courses</h2>
<ol>
<li>B .Com
<li>B.Sc
<li>B.C.A
</ul></body></html>
2)Unordered List (<ul>):
A list is said to unordered list,ifthe items are displayed with the help of some graphical
symbols(like disc,circle,and square).
An unordered list is a collection of related items that have no special order or
sequence.
The unordered list is created by using <ul> tag and each item starts with the list tag
<li>.
By default, “disc” is used to display unordered list.
We can change the display of items using “type” attribute.
By default “disc” is used to display unordered list.
TYPE = “Disc” | “Circle” |“Square”
Syntax: <ul type = “disc | square | circle”>……………</ul>
Example: <html><body><h2>UG Courses</h2>
<ul>
<li>B .Com
<li>B.Sc
<li>B.C.A
<li>B B.A
</ul></body></html>
3) Definition List ( <dl> ):
TABLES
Table is one of the most useful HTML constructs. The HTML tables allow us to arrange
data like text, images, links, other tables, etc. intorows and columns of cells. The tables are
created using the <table>tag. Inside <table> tag, the table is written as row-by-row. A table
row is created using <tr>tagand column (or cell) is created using <td>tag.
1. Creating tables
In HTML, the creation of tables begin with the <table> tag and terminate with</table>
tag. Within table, rows are created by<tr> (for table row) tag and columns are created
by<td> (for table data) tag. Then the no. of rows and columns are decided by <tr> and <td>
elements.
Syntax:
<table border=”n”
align=”center” | “left” | “right”
bordercolor=”#rrggbb”
width=”n” | “nn%”
background=”filename”
bgcolor=”#rrggbb”
valign=”top” | “bottom”
cellpadding=”n”
cellspacing=”n”>…………………………..</table>
Attributes of <table>:
1. Border specifies the thickness of the border to be displayed. By default are zero
pixels.
2. Align it is used to align a table in a webpage.
3. Cellpadding specifies the space between cell content and cellborder
4. Cellspacing specifies the space between the cells andb/w the cell border &table
border.
5.Bordercolor specifies the color of the border to be displayed.
6.Bgcolor specifies a bgcolor for the table.
2. Table Row (<tr>)
The <tr> tag is used to create a table row. A table contains number of rows and each table
row is a table element itself with an opening and closing tags.The no. of <tr>tags indicates the
no. of rows in a table.
Syntax:
<tralign=”left” | “center” | “right” valign=”top” | “center” | “bottom”>………….</tr>
3. Table Cell (<td>)
The <td> tag is used to create a column (cell) in a particular rowand display the data in normal
font.The no. of <td> tags indicates the no. of columns in a particular row.
Syntax:
<td align=”left” | “center” | “right” valign=”top” | “center” | “bottom”
colspan=”n” rowspan=”n” >……………………………………….</td>
Where, rowspan is used to merge the cells vertically (i.e. merging rows) and colspan is used
to merge the cells horizontally (i.e. merging columns)
Example:
<htm l><head> <tr>
<title>Table Example</title> <td>Rama</td>
</head> <td>5000</td>
<body> </tr>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" <tr><td>Bhanu</td>
cellspacing="5"> <td>7000</td>
<tr> </tr>
<th>Nam e</th> </table>
<th>Salary</th> </body>
</tr> </htm l>
Internet
Internet
A global network connecting millions computers. As of 1998, the Internet has more than 100
millionusers worldwide, and that number is growing rapidly. More than 100 countries are
linked intoexchanges of data, news and opinions. Unlike online services, which are centrally
controlled, theInternet is decentralized by design. Each Internet computer, called a host, is
independent. Its operatorscan choose which Internet services to use and which local services
to make available to the global
Internet community. Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly well. There are a
varietyof ways to access the Internet. Most online services, such as America Online, offer
access to someInternet services. It is also possible to gain access through a commercial
Internet Service Provider(ISP). For most of its existence the Internet was primarily a research
and academic network. Morerecently, commercial enterprises and a vast number of
consumers have come to recognize the Internet'spotential. Today people and businesses
around the world can use the Internet to retrieve information,
communicate and conduct business globally, and access a vast array of services and
resources on-line.
ISP
Short for Internet Service Provider, a company that provides access to the Internet. For a
monthly fee,the service provider gives you a software package, username, password and
access phone number.Equipped with a modem, you can then log on to the Internet and
browse the World Wide Web andUSENET, and send and receive e-mail. In addition to serving
individuals, ISPs also serve largecompanies, providing a direct connection from the
company's networks to the Internet. ISPsthemselves are connected to one another through
Network Access Points (NAPs). ISPs are also called
IAPs (Internet Access Providers).
Browser
Short for Web browser, a software application used to locate and display Web pages. The two
mostpopular browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Both of these
are graphicalbrowsers, which means that they can display graphics as well as text. In
addition, most modernbrowsers can present multimedia information, including sound and
video, though they require plug-insfor some formats.
URL
URLs make it possible to direct both people and software applications to a variety of
information,available from a number of different Internet protocols. Abbreviation of Uniform
Resource Locator,the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide
Web. The first part of theaddress indicates what protocol to use, and the second part specifies
the IP address or the domain namewhere the resource is located.
protocol://domain_name.organization_type/full-path-of-filehow://where/what As an exercise,
let's look at this file's URL: http://www.netspace.org/users/dwb/urlguide.
html The scheme for this URL is "http" for the HyperText Transfer Protocol. The Internet
address of the machine is "www.netspace.org", and the path to the file is
"users/dwb/wwwauthoring.html". When working with the WWW, most URLs will appear very
similar to this one'soverall structure. Note that when using FTP, HTTP, and Gopher URLs, the
"full-path-of-file" willsometimes end in a slash. This indicates that the URL is pointing not to a
specific file, but a directory.In this case, the server generally returns the "default index" of that
directory. This might be just alisting of the files available within that directory, or a default file
that the server automatically looks forin the directory. With HTTP servers, this default index
file is generally called "index.html", but isfrequently seen as "homepage.html", "home.html",
"welcome.html", or "default.html".
WWW
A system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are
formattedin a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that supports links to
other documents, aswell as graphics, audio, and video files. This means you can jump from
one document to anothersimply by clicking on hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of
the World Wide Web. Short forWorld Wide Web Consortium, an international consortium of
companies involved with the Internet and
the Web. The W3C was founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, the original architect of the
World WideWeb. The organization's purpose is to develop open standards so that the Web
evolves in a singledirection rather than being splintered among competing factions. The W3C
is the chief standards bodyfor HTTP and HTML.
http
Short for HyperText Transfer Protocol, the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web.
HTTPdefines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers
and browsersshould take in response to various commands. For example, when you enter a
URL in your browser,
this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit
therequested Web page. HTTP is called a stateless protocol because each command is
executedindependently, without any knowledge of the commands that came before it. This is
the main reasonthat it is difficult to implement Web sites that react intelligently to user input.
This shortcoming ofHTTP is being addressed in a number of new technologies, including
ActiveX, Java, JavaScript andcookies. Currently, most Web browsers and servers support
HTTP 1.1. One of the main features of
HTTP 1.1 is that it supports persistent connections. This means that once a browser connects
to a Webserver, it can receive multiple files through the same connection. This should
improve performance byas much as 20%.
hypertext
Hypertext simply means non linear text. A novel or magazine article is an example of linear
textbecause it is meant to be read from beginning to end. Non linear communication is much
harder tocreate because you must allow for the possibility of each reader accessing the
material in a differentorder.
HTML
Short for HyperText Markup Language, the authoring language used to create documents on
the WorldWide Web. Hypertext, for easy navigation among resources (e.g. HyperText Markup
Language orHTML, a standard format for describing the structure of documents for
transmission of hypermediadocuments). HTML documents are ASCII files with embedded
codes for logical markup, format (textstyles, document titles, paragraphs, tables) and
hyperlinks. Hypertext, for easy navigation among
resources (e.g. HyperText Markup Language or HTML, a standard format for describing the
structureof documents for transmission of hypermedia documents). HTML documents are
ASCII files withembedded codes for logical markup, format (text styles, document titles,
paragraphs, tables) andhyperlinks.
markup tags
The components of HTML.
web page
A document on the WWW. Every web page is identified by a unique URL (Uniform
ResourceLocator).
web site
A site (location) on the World Wide Web. Each Web site contains a home page, which is the
firstdocument users see when they enter the site. The site might also contain additional
documents andfiles. Each site is owned and managed by an individual, company or
organization.
home page
The main page of a Web site. Typically, the home page serves as an index or table of
contents to otherdocuments stored at the site.
