The
Internet has much to offer in terms of information on almost any subject matter
imaginable and interaction with people and organizations from all over the
world. Much of this access and interaction make use of the environment which is
popularly known as the World Wide Web (WWW) or web. The WWW is an interlinked network
of systems, called web servers, offering multimedia services and information. A
user can access these using what is known as web browser software.

The
world wide web is a system of Internet servers that supports hypertext and
multimedia to
access several Internet protocols on a single interface. The World Wide Web is
often abbreviated as the web or www.

The
World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee of the European Particle
Physics Lab (CERN) in Switzerland. The initial purpose of the Web was to use
networked hypertext to facilitate communication among its members, who were located
in several countries.
Protocols of the
Web

The
surface simplicity of the Web comes from the fact that many individual
protocols can be contained within a single Web site. internet protocols are
sets of rules that allow for intermachine communication on the Internet. These
are a few of the protocols you can experience on the Web:
Ø
HTTP

Transfer Protocol): transmits hyptertext over networks. This is the protocol of
the Web.
