Introduction to World Wide Web (WWW)

Given by Nancy J. McCracken at ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course on Spring Semester 97. Foils prepared 11 May 1997

The World Wide Web is a world-wide repository of linked information, called hypertext or hypermedia. It consists of
  • A user interface consistent across many computers
  • A set of open standards that enables the interface to access a variety of document types and information protocols.
  • A provision for universal access, based on the Internet domain name schemes.
In this talk, we give a brief background on the Internet and its services (telnet, ftp, news and mail), Client/Server Architectures, Networking, and several prominent Web technologies.
This is an introductory talk intended for people of any background who have used the Web, but wish to know more about how it works and what capabilities are possible.
