Unit 4 — 5-minute revision
- Internet: global network of networks (ARPANET 1969 = origin); WWW: Tim Berners-Lee (1990) — documents linked by hyperlinks, accessed via browsers
- Email parts: username @ domain — To, CC (visible copy), BCC (hidden copy), subject, attachment; SMTP sends, POP3/IMAP receives
- Browser: software to view web pages (Chrome, Firefox); Search engine: finds pages by keywords (Google, Bing)
- URL: protocol + domain + path (e.g. https://noteswale.com/units)
- Key HTML tags: <html> root | <head> metadata | <title> page title | <body> content | <h1>–<h6> headings | <p> paragraph | <a> link | <img> image | <ul>/<ol>/<li> lists | <table>/<tr>/<td> table | <form>/<input> form fields | <br> line break | <hr> horizontal line | <b>/<i> bold/italic | <div> block container
- CSS types: inline (style attribute), internal (in <style>), external (.css file) — external best for reuse
- HTML is markup, not programming: defines structure; CSS styles it; JavaScript makes it interactive
🔥 High-yield: WWW = Tim Berners-Lee 1990; Internet = network of networks; browser ≠ search engine; SMTP sends mail, POP3 receives; CSS has 3 types — inline, internal, external.
