Web Protocols • Protocols define the rules to be followed in a conversation – – who talks first what is acceptable to request what are acceptable responses to a request syntax is the actual form of each interaction • HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol – identifies it as a web page request • FTP - File Transfer Protocol – identifies it as a file that needs to be downloaded • SMTP - Simple Mail Transport Protocol – identifies it as pertaining to email

• Parts of the Uniform Resource Locator URL Three parts: – Specifies the protocol to use • HTTP • FTP • SMTP – The Domain Name • www. ggc. edu – Directory information used by the server to find the file to transmit – This can be • directory and pages • data to be handed to a program

How to start your own website • You have to buy a Domain Name from a Domain Name supplier – register. com – godaddy. com • The Domain Name supplier – pay by the year – set up domain-name-to-IP mapping – may provide some storage space for your web pages using their IP

…or to start a website • You could have your own server – Macs come with servers built in • You must have a FIXED IP from your ISP – not really but it makes life MUCH simpler • You still need a Domain Name from a Domain Name Supplier – pay by the year – set up domain-name-to-IP mapping

Web. Crawlers • Once looked and collected email addresses to sell to spammers • Simple to do – request a page – look through the text of the page for something @ something • Can be defeated by using unfriendly-to-robotcode like: jrowan (at) GGC (dot) USG (dot) EDU – humans can read this just fine!

Search Engines • Web crawlers look through the web looking for keywords • Then they build a catalog of keywords – You enter a keyword in the engine – It looks at its table – It sends you the URLs associated with the keyword • GOOGLE extends this by including the number of links that point to that particular page

And now for a little history. . .

A brief history • Ward Cunningham – invented the Wiki. Web – www pages quickly editable by its users – Wiki is Hawaiian for “fast”

A brief history • Tim Berners-Lee – – invented the World Wide Web 1980 built the first web server mid 1980 s worked with hypertext 1988 - “I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and ta-da! the World Wide Web!” – wrote the first web browser (the client)

And now… Alan Kay

• Alan Kay’s 1968 vision of how computing COULD be: The Dynabook

Before Alan Kay at XEROX PARC… The command driven computer interface: Remember the Disk Operating System? (probably not!)

• Alan Kay’s 1970’s XEROX PARC work • The Graphical User Interface GUI • But Xerox corporate didn’t think it was important

• which opens the door for Steven Jobs – Macintosh 1984 – …and personal computing as we know it is born
