Introduction To Worldwide Web (w.w.w.)

Aperçu

Welcome to the Introduction to the Worldwide Web (W.W.W.) Course Overview:

In this course, we will embark on a fascinating journey into the depths of the World Wide Web, commonly known as W.W.W. The concept of the W.W.W. refers to the interconnected system of web pages and websites accessible via the internet. It has revolutionized how information is shared globally, transforming the way we communicate, access data, and conduct business.

To kickstart our exploration, let's delve into the acronym 'W.W.W.' which stands for the World Wide Web. Contrary to popular belief, the internet and the W.W.W. are not the same; the internet is the infrastructure that enables communication, while the W.W.W. is the collection of interconnected webpages accessed through the internet.

Understanding the history of the W.W.W. is crucial in appreciating its significance. The W.W.W. was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 to assist in information sharing among scientists. Nigeria has made notable contributions to the W.W.W. through the establishment of impactful websites and online platforms that showcase the nation's diversity and talent.

As we journey through this course, we will encounter basic terminologies such as websites, webpages, homepages, protocols like HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). These foundational concepts form the backbone of the W.W.W. and are essential for understanding how information is presented and accessed online.

The benefits of the W.W.W. are vast and varied. It connects individuals worldwide, facilitates e-commerce, enables digital marketing, and provides a platform for education and entertainment. Navigating through websites such as waeconline.org, itbeginswithu.org, and other Nigerian sites will enhance our practical understanding of how the W.W.W. operates.

Furthermore, we will explore the differences between email and website addresses, distinguishing features like www.waeconline.org and waec@yahoo.com. This comparison will elucidate the unique functionalities and purposes of each type of address in online communication.

Software tools like Frontpage and others play a crucial role in web development, simplifying the creation and management of websites. These tools streamline the process of designing webpages, enhancing user experience and functionality.

Throughout this course, we will strive to achieve the objectives of understanding the fundamentals of the W.W.W., identifying basic terminologies, exploring Nigeria's contributions to the W.W.W., learning about HTTP and HTML protocols, uncovering the uses and benefits of the W.W.W., navigating various websites, distinguishing between email and website addresses, and exploring software for web development.

Prepare to embark on an enlightening and enriching journey through the intricate web of the World Wide Web, where endless possibilities and boundless information await!
