HTML History
Browser
Makes a request for information and then displays the information once it comes back from the server to you
April 1993
Mosaic brower is released with images, nested lists, and fill-out forms
Late 1992
NCSA - Natl Center for Supercomputer Applications develops a browser called Mosaic
May 1994
NCSA assigns commercial rights for Mosaic browser to Spyglass, Inc.
November 1994
Netscape is formed. The World Wibe Web Consortium is formed to fulfill the potential of the web and develop standards.
The internet
Networked computers, wires, cables that make up the roadways, freeways, dirt roads = It's the cabling that hooks everything together.
Sir Tim didn't come up with the idea of using tags consisting of words between angle brackets
Those kinds of tags already existed in the SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) format.
1989
Tim Berners-Lee invents the web with HTML as it's publishing language
URL
Uniform Resource Locator
Ethernet
We connect to internet with these wires, also with hot spots around communities
After HTML 4.01, the next revision was
XHTML 1.0
The first web servers were
all located in European physics laboratories
Tim based HTML on
an existing internationally agreed upon method of text mark-up
Whereas HTML allowed authors plenty of freedom in how they wrote their elements and attributes, XHTML required
authors to follow the rules of XML, a stricter markup language upon which the W3C was basing most of their technologies.
World Wide Web
began in CERN - Laboratory in Switzerland of physicist from all over the world - needed to share files
Servers
boxes that serve or give information around the world - let us search the web through their special software that lets them respond to each request
XHTML 1.1.
came after 1.0 version and was XML
The language - http or TCP/IP
chooses the road between the computer and the server
Hypercard
enabled you to construct a series of on-screen filing cards of information which if press on screen buttons, could take a tour of the info
The internet provides the medium
for the web to run on, just as a telephone line provides the medium for telephone conversations.
Servers have addresses made of
four groups of numbers that fall between 0 and 255
Protocols
http, rss, email, ftp, sftp
The content of the XHTML 1.0 specification was
identical to that of HTML 4.01, The only difference was in the syntax of the language.
The web
HTML documents linked together, taking you from one document to another document; the information that is out there
1995
HTML is extended with many new tags. Also, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser comes out
Bill Atkinson
Hypercard which led to hypertext
December 1992
Images are tagged IMG, later replaced with OBJECT
IP
Internet Protocol address - 192.168.144.227
Late 1993
Large companies underestimate the importance of Web, thinking it's for academics
DNS
Domain Name Server - a phone book to the number address
The X stood for
"eXtensible"
Path example
/dog.html
Tim Berners-Lee
A British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989.
Servers require
Appache or IIS software...servers respond to names such as mkcohen.com
Nexux
February 1991 - the first internet browser came out
Feb 1996
The HTML ERB (Editorial Review Board) is formed - IBM, Microsfot, Netscape, etc
September 1994
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) sets up an HTML working group
WHATWG
The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group
HyperText Markup Language
The brainchild of Sir Tim Berners-Lee
May 1994 - Geneva
The first World Wide Web conference is held with HTML+
There was never any such thing as HTML 1
The first official specification was HTML 2.0
HTML
The unifying language of the World Wide Web
http
language of webpages - the protocol for file transfer, such as the news
A single phone line can carry many different languages
like the internet can carry different protocols.
rss
news organizations for recent events
File is a mess when sent back, so
our web browser then looks at the code and converts
a valid XHTML 1.0 document
required all tags and attributes to be lowercase.
HTML had a life span of
seven years
The W3C
the World Wide Web Consortium - uses a consensus-based approach: issues are raised, discussed, and voted on.
amazon.com
the name for the DNS to get the address
/index
the name of the actual file/papers - a page of code
URL
the specific address of the server
Clients
used to get information from web
XHTML 2
was a disaster
ftp, sftp
ways to transfer files around between computers and servers of computers
To transfer information you need
web browser, server, address for the information you want`
