The World Wide Web

Since I was first exposed to the Internet back in 1995, people have erroneously had a tendency to use the terms Internet and World Wide Web interchangeably. It may take the mind of a true geek to really care about the difference, but the World Wide Web is actually only a small fraction of the Internet.

This article is the first in a series meant to supplement the web design course that I'm currently teaching at SUN Area Career & Technology Center. I will define the Internet and the World Wide Web, talk briefly about their history, and discuss a few of the web's defining features.

Reich Consulting Web Design Articles and Tutorials

Just last week I began teaching a class on web design for my primary employer, SUN Area Career & Technology Center based on the Thompson Course Technology Dreamweaver MX 2004 Basic textbook.  Though the book and the accompanying PowerPoint presentations are sufficient for the lessons taught in class, I've decided to write a series of articles and tutorials to that add to my in-class lessons that expand on the topics that we will discuss.   I'm going to begin with some basics regarding the World Wide Web and the the languages and protocols that make it work.  If you are taking my class or just find web design and development interesting, I hope you'll stop by often to read this series of articles.
