Luke and Katie. And here's a piece on the Bauhaus school.
We’ll go over the space for your Web sites later on. In many systems, your web space will be a public_html directory on the web server. Remember that ftp is a protocol, so trechnically you could connect directly with ftp://alpha.lasalle.edu.Some Internet history and terminology. This material and more is covered in readings: HTML and CSS: Introduction, + pages 487-490. Here are some links that add to the readings. We’ll look at these in class:
Web history:
- The pioneers
- Web history from W3C
- The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), which created HTML5 and CSS3
And an old: Internet pie chart and How the Web works, from HowStuffWorks. Usenet became Google Groups (Under Even More). Finally, in relation to top-level domain names, here is a list of the top-level domains including the new ones e.g. .bike and the two-character country codes that show where .io, and .tv come from, among others, and ones like .biz .
Compare the old chart to this chart (and article) from Wired magazine in September 2010. The PEW Internet and American life project then did a study that showed it's not that simple (the Web is not "dead."). It includes discussion of the role of mobile apps, which generally are Internet but not Web.
