This topic is the last lesson for information technology that means after this we will have exam after learned all about information technology. In this topic we have learned about Web Applications. Internet is largest network in the world that connects people/organization all over the world. Global system interconnected networks that uses the standard internet protocol to serve billions of user. Web is contains hypertext links, or highlighted keywords and images that lead to related information. It also collection of electronic documents. Internet and the World Wide Web are totally differences between each other.
 
Internet largest network in the world that connects people/organization all over the world.Exist in 1960 , created  by Vint Cerf. Is a Big Collection of Computers . When you are using the Internet you may not be using the world wide web.
 Example: Skype via a phone, you are using the Internet. You are not using the world wide web.

The web is a service of the Internet. System of interlinked documents that can be accessed via the internet. Exist in 1990, created by Tim Berners Lee. Big Collection of HTML Pages on the Internet. When you are using the world wide web you are always using the Internet.
Example: if you want search information, u will use internet and web


A web application or Web Apps are refer to any application, services  in internet. A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. Web applications may display, create, and manage images, audio, videos, and data which can be stored and retrieved from the Server           
Exxample: Website, Facebook, Google Documents, Windows Live Hotmail, Turbo Tax online, online calculators, calendars, and etc
Web browsers are software applications that allow users to retrieve data and interact with content located on web pages within a website
 Examples of Browsers

There are two types of web

                                I.            static web
                              II.            dynamic web page


Static Web is a "read-only web“. Simple web and allows people to search for information and read it. Static websites can only really be updated by someone with knowledge of website development.
Example: educational website, company website
Dynamic Web is a Web interactions between people, software that ability for clients or users to upload documents and administrators or users to create content or add information to a site.    
Example: content management system, e-commerce system, discussion board and many more

Web have three generation and first generation is Web 1.0. Information is displayed on web page as static content. It also closed to external editing (do not allow visitors to contribute). Hyper-linking of the web-pages and bookmarking were  two of the most important aspect of web 1.0. The web is in html coding. For instance Informational Website, Educational Web, Company Website, Personal Web pages. People cannot change anything just only read or see. Webpages contains text/graphics, images and other multimedia files, hyperlinks are used to navigate between them. Web 1.0 lack of context, interaction scalability and no user data available.

Second generation is Web 2.0. Web 2.0, the second generation focuses on power of community, allows information sharing with a social media. This is the popular term for advances Internet Technology and applications. Typically combination of technology allowing user to interact with information. This web is ability to external editing. As a result, Web users may extend, undo and redo each other's work such as in blogs, posts and the comments of individuals are displayed, shared and managed. Furthermore, people use and implementation of Application softwares like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash player, Microsoft Silverlight, Oracle Java, Windows Media, etc. to make the Web more interactive.
Lastly, third generation of web is Web 3.0. On the other hand Web 3.0 is about semantic web. However, Web 3.0 is based on intelligent web applications using machine-based learning and reasoning and intelligent applications. For example, Decision Support System and Expert System portal. In a more simple way, Semantic Web makes search engine much smarter and search engine will understand who you are, what you've been doing, and where you'd like to go next.


Usually involved websites that are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Example of social sites like MySpace, Twitter, FriendFinder, Facebook, Classmates, Friendster and etc.

Types of programing language is  a vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks. The term programming language usually refers to high-level languages, such as BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal. Each language has a unique set of keywords (words that it understands) and a special syntax for organizing program instructions.
Low-level-language is a machine language or an assembly language. Low-level languages are closer to the hardware than are high-level programming languages, which are closer to human languages.
High-level-language is third generation language until fifth generation. High-level programming languages, while simple compared to human languages, are more complex than the languages the computer actually understands, called machine languages. Each different type of CPU has its own unique machine language.
