Learn about Web browser software
and Web pages
• The Web is a collection of files that reside on computers,
called Web servers.
– Web servers are connected to each other through the Internet
• The software you use to connect your computer to the Web
server is your Web browser.
– Common Web browsers are Netscape Navigator and Internet
Explorer
– These browsers use a standard Graphical User Interface design

Learn about Web addresses and URLs
• Each computer on the Internet has an unique identification
number, called an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
• The IP addressing system currently in use on the Internet
uses a four-part number.
• Each part of the address is a number ranging from 0 to
255, and each part is separated from the previous part by a
period, for example: 106.29.242.17.
• Although each computer connected to the Internet has a
unique IP address, most Web browsers use domain name
addressing to locate Web sites and pages.

Anchor tags are used
to define hyperlinks
XP
• Text files on Web servers are coded with HTML
formatting tags that enable your browser to read text.
• The tag that gives HTML its power, however, is the anchor
tag.
• Each anchor tag used in an HTML document, or Web
page, creates a hypertext link or hypermedia link to other
HTML documents or to other media.
• These links are a different color than other text on the
page, and are sometimes underlined. When you click the
link, you connect to another Web page.

Learn about e-mail
and e-mail software
• E-mail, or electronic mail, is an efficient way to exchange
messages with others on a network.
• This network may be small and self-contained, such as
within an office, or as large as the Internet.
• E-mail messages can go to only one recipient or to dozens
of recipients at once.
• When you send a message, it travels through the network
to an e-mail server.
• The e-mail server stores messages until the recipient(s)
request them.

• To access your e-mail account you also need an e-mail
program, which is also called e-mail client software.

forward, and save mail from your e-mail server.
