The world of the internet is vast and constantly evolving. It has transformed the way we communicate, access information, and conduct business, and it has opened up a world of possibilities for individuals and organizations alike. But what exactly is the internet, and how does it work? In this article, we'll take a closer look at the internet, the web, and the various components that make up the world of the internet.
NETWORK:
Assume we have one Desktop, Mobile, and Laptop now when 2 devices are merged to share the data then it becomes a network
Now, you must have seen that wifi devices release the signals and our devices catch the signals this is a network. When we share a hotspot it becomes a network so the network is when any 2 or more devices are connected through wires, wireless connection, Bluetooth, wifi, or any medium then it's a network.
INTRANET:
Intra = within
network = connected devices
For example, if we have one building and it has 4 floors then on each floor we have networks it will be called intra-network or intranet which won't be accessible to the public or the networks outside the building.
INTERNET:
Internetwork or we can say internet which means if we want to connect the networks of the network from one building to another building, one country to another country, one continent to another, or globally is called internet or internetwork which means a network of networks.
WEB:
The web is like a spider web in which one thread is connected to another thread through some points now you can assume the information on the internet is connected to another info through URLs and Links so we can move from one page to another, one side to another.
Now, let's stop here and connect some dots.
We discussed the internet and the web.
What is the connection between both?
The Internet is a physical connection of devices while the web is a virtual connection of the information on the internet
The Internet does the same work of connecting devices & Web also does the same but in WEB images, text, videos, links, etc are present which are linked with each other.
WEB PAGE:
When we open google it's a single web page.
When we open youtube it's a single web page and so on...
WEBSITE:
Website means
web = connected information
site = location
For example, one website has several files which are on 1 server (CPU) on the internet
Another simple one is:
The collection of many webpages is a website for example one site can have many web pages like about, contact, products, store, etc
WEB DESIGN:
Now you're looking at Facebook. The whole Layout which thing should be on top, bottom and middle. Size, Theme, Dark Mode, Light Mode. The whole Layout is designed on software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma etc. After that, the design goes towards the development phase.
WEB DEVELOPMENT:
Web Development involves building and maintaining websites; it's the work behind the scenes that makes a site look good, work fast, and perform well with a seamless user experience through various programming languages. It's called BTS(Behind the scenes).
For example, if Someone likes your post & you receive a notification. Programming languages are working in Backend OR BTS(Behind the Scenes) making it happen to receive notifications.
WEB ENGINEERING:
A web engineer is above a web developer. Web engineers are responsible for load balancing of traffic, which architecture to use (e-commerce, blog, CRM, etc), which technology to use for building websites, Security Levels, and Deployment.
