How the Web Works

The Web is formerly called the World Wide Web. It is a collection of text and graphic files that are organized into Web pages. The base of the Web is the Internet, a system of data storage and communication that connects users and files to the Web.

The two most common languages used when communicating with the Web are HTML, Hypertext Markup Language, and HTTP, Hypertext Transfer Protocol.


HTML Tags are used to “mark” documents so they can be formatted for the Web and linked to other documents. HTML defines a Web page’s appearance and functionality using a “code” that programs desired features to appear on the Web.


The following is an example of HTML codes:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HTML

<BODY>
