The Web is the largest computer network in the world.
Web is an English word that means "network" , "spider web" or "mesh" . The concept is used in the technological field to name a computer network and, in general, the Internet (in this case, it is usually written as Web , with a capital W).
The term, however, has several uses. In addition to naming the Internet in general, the word web can be used to refer to a web page , a website or even a web server .
It is important to establish that this term is also part of what is known as the World Wide Web, which is the computer network used throughout the world. At the end of the 80s was when the one was born that today allows any citizen, through an Internet connection along with a browser and a computer, to access the website they want from any corner of the world. You can do it to inform yourself, to entertain yourself or just out of simple curiosity.
What is a web page
A web page is a document that includes an HTML file with text, images, videos, Flash animations, etc. The set of web pages that are usually part of the same Internet domain or subdomain is known as a website. Within the website, all pages are related in some way to each other and are linked by links (also known as links, hyperlinks, hyperlinks or links).
There are many recommendations about the essential characteristics that a website must have to be considered good, useful and optimal. However, among all of them we would highlight the following:
• It must have a perfectly clear hierarchy. That is, all its elements must be clear and organized in an understandable structure.
• It is essential that you respect and comply with established web standards.
• It must have the most useful format to address and deal with the issues to which it refers.
• No less important is that it offers the user something more. That is, it is about finding information, curiosities and solutions in it.
• You must be clear about the audience you are addressing in order to address the issues that most interest and concern them.
• It is essential that it allows simple and fast navigation, without long waiting times for its elements to load.
• It must include audiovisual material that makes it more attractive and dynamic.
• It must allow the interaction of all its Internet users.
A web page is a document that can present information in different formats.
The servers
The web server, on the other hand, is a program created to transfer web pages through the implementation of the HTTP protocol .
By extension, the computer where said type of software is executed is called a server.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 , on the other hand, is a concept that allows naming Internet applications that facilitate user interaction. The sites that are part of Web 2.0 make it possible for Internet users to share information and carry out tasks together.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social networks (such as Facebook ), video hosting portals ( YouTube ) and images ( Flickr ), and wiki services ( Wikipedia ).
