Web Browsers

Although many different browsers are available, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are by far the most popular. (Many Mac users prefer the Safari browser.) The battle between the two browsers to dominate the market has led to continuous improvements to the software.

How the Web Works

The World Wide Web is the most popular part of the Internet by far. Once you spend time on the Web you will feel that there is no limit to what you can discover.

How the Web was Born

The World Wide Web was originally developed in 1990 at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. The original idea came from a young computer scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. It is now managed by The World Wide Web Consortium.

Anatomy of a Web Page

A website has one or more related web pages, depending on how it's designed. Web pages on a site are linked together through a system of hyperlinks, enabling you to jump between them by clicking on a link.
