Foil 10 What is Web Technology?

From Untitled presentation Jamesville DeWitt Middle School 5th Grade / Modifications for Java Academy Talk -- 2 April 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Web Technology consists firstly of a set of formats for data
If data is type of information that appears in books, then format tells you things like "center text", "start new paragraph" etc.
Web formats include GIF or JPEG for images, HTML for documents and VRML for 3D pictures. These are used to specify stored data
The other component of Web technology is software such as Java JavaScript and Perl which are used to give instructions to compute.
These formats and software produce information displayed by HTML or VRML browsers
Web technology is so powerful as complete model for computing and communication
