Recap from last time (I)

• HTML, CSS, jQuery, and Javascript form the building blocks of most websites

HTML is the structure/skeleton

CSS is the presentation/clothing

jQuery/Javascript is the action/movement

Recap from last time (II)

• When we navigate to a website, our request is transmitted to a server which sends us the files to load the page

• Any local changes we make can be seen on our computer only

HAHAHA

Facebook server

Amazon server

Youtube server

DNS

Let’s try creating our own HTML file

• We’ve already seen lots of websites created with HTML

• It’s easy to do ourselves!

Remember this?

Our first HTML file (I)

1. If using a PC, open the Notepad application. If on a Mac, open TextEdit

2. Type “I am master of the internet!”

Our first HTML file (III)

4. If using a PC, delete “.txt” and rename it to “.html”. If on a Mac, change the ‘File Format’ to ‘Web Page (.html)’

Our first HTML file (V)

6. Let’s see what our file looks like in our browser. Open up your Chrome browser. If using a PC, press the Ctrl key and then press the “O” key (as in Orange). If on a Mac, go to ‘FileOpen File’.

8. There we go!

This part may look different for you

Page 13: Lesson 102 23 aug13-1430-ay

Something looks different…

• If you look at the address in the bar (known as a URI, or Uniform Resource Identifier), you’ll see it looks different from most websites you are familiar with

HTTP vs. File

14

Most website URIs look like this:

or like this, for short:

Addresses for files on your computer look like this:

• HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol

• This basically tells your computer to find this address on the internet

• File tells your computer to look for this address on your local computer

What exactly is a web browser?

• A web browser is an application used to access and display web pages and other content on the internet

• In the same way that Microsoft Word is used to open a .doc file and Adobe is used to open a .pdf file, a browser is used to open a .html file

Why are there so many different browsers? (I)

• So far, we have been using our Chrome browser, but there are many different web browsers to choose from:

16

Chrome Internet Explorer

Firefox

Safari Opera

Page 17: Lesson 102 23 aug13-1430-ay

Why are there so many different browsers? (II)

• There are different browsers for the same reason there are so many different brands of cars

• Like with cars, the basic function of all browsers is the same – to take the HTML code a server sends us and make it appear on our screen

Ford Vauxhall BMW

Ferrari Hummer

Why are there so many different browsers? (III)

• Like with cars, the basic function of all browsers is the same – to take the HTML code a server sends us and make it appear on our screen

• Each browser does things a little differently: • Some are faster• Some look cooler• Some are easier-to-use• Some have just been around for as long as anyone can remember

Summary

• A web browser is an application used to access and display web pages and other content on the internet

• There are many different browsers, but they all have the same basic function – to load HTML files
