From
this learning outcome, I have learnt many new things and detailed concepts
about World Wide Web and its application. In this week, our lecturer gave
briefed knowledge about web Application. First of all, she reminds us about the
previous lecture which was about internet and World Wide Web.
Actually,
web and internet are not same because web is the collection of documents and it
is the service of internet. Internet is the largest network in the world that
connects people and organization all over the world. It’s a big collection of
computers but World Wide Web is a big collection of HTML pages on the internet.
Sometime
we are using internet but we may not be using World Wide Web. When we are using
the world wide web ,we are always using the internet.
Web
application may display, create, manage images, audio, video and data which can
be stored and retrieved from the server. Web browsers are software that allows
users to retrieve data and interact with content located web pages within a
website. For example,
1. Internet Explore
2. Netscape
3. Mozilla Firefox
4. Safari
5. Opera
After getting the ideas and concepts about worldwide wed, I didn’t
know how the World Wide Web works? Our lecturer started to explain about it. Client
side scripting and server side scripting combine together to work for web
application.
We also learnt about two types of web,
1. Static web
2. Dynamic web
Static web is a “read only web” that allows
people to search for information and it can be updated by someone with a
knowledge of website development. For example
1. Educational
website
2. Company website
of website has ability
for clients or users to upload documents and add information. For example
1. Content management
system site
2. E-commerce
system website
3. Discussion board
website
There
are three generations of web,
1. Web 1.0
2. Web 2.0
3. Web 3.0
Social sites have online functions for the internet user. For example My space, Facebook, friend finder, and
twitter
RSS ( really simple syndication) is a technology that is being used by web users around the world like a Google reader and blog lines
1st generation of web-1.0
It’s a static website and information displayed on web pages. We can’t
edit and it’s hyperlinking of the web-pages and bookmarking were two of the
most important aspects of web 1.0.
For example, informational websites, educational websites and
company websites.
2nd generation of web-2.0
It’s a dynamic website and advanced internet technology and
applications. It provides external ability of editing. User can extend, undo,
redo each other’s work such as blogs and comments displayed shared and managed.
3rd generation of web-3.0
Its semantic web based on intelligence web application using
machine based learning and reasoning and intelligence applications. For example
Decisions support system, expert support system.
Web 2.0 has two categories as fallows,
1. Online social
networking
Mashups and AggregatorSocial sites have online functions for the internet user. For example My space, Facebook, friend finder, and
Mashups is collecting things together. It includes data
aggregator, video aggregator, social network aggregator, and news aggregator.
We also learnt about the technologies and applications of web 2.0.
XML and AJAX are technologies and blogs, wikis, RSS (really simple
syndication) and Pod video casting are applications.
XML (Extensive Markup Language) and AJAX (Asynchronous Java script
and XML) are programing language used in web applications.
Our lecturer also told us about the two types of programing
languages
1. Low level
language (machine dependent language, 1st generation of programing
language, 2nd generation of programing language)
2. High level
language (3rd generation of PL,4th generation of PL and 5th
generation of PL)
Machine language is in the 1st generation of PL,
Assembly language in 2nd generation, FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL,
C++ are in 3rd generation,4GLS languages like Visual Basic and
Visual Age are in fourth generation, Prolong, AJAX, JAVA Script are in 5th
language generation.
Tagging is a metadata and it’s a part of web 2.0.
Blog is an informal site for article, diary or journal.
Wiki is a collaborative website that allows
users to create, add, modify or delete websites content with web browserRSS ( really simple syndication) is a technology that is being used by web users around the world like a Google reader and blog lines
Podcasting and video casting is a digital media consist of audio
and video. We can download and upload by online. For example
At last, I also learnt about the Google application and it’s
infrastructure
“A series of application from
Google” which is used to messaging, Talk and maps.
This is the last topic of information Technology and I got a lot of knowledge which will positively effect
on my Graduation study because building is built from the basic.
