Full Form of WWW, Working, Definition, Features & Applications

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at Full Form of WWW. The full form of WWW is world wide web in 1989 Tim Berners Lee scientist of the United Kingdom first created the WWW working at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). At the start, he created the WWW for sending and receiving information about the results of different experiments to other scientists all around the world. At that time the internet existed but no one knows how to use it for sharing and receiving of files. Tim worked on HTML (hypertext mark up language), URL (Uniform Resource locator) and HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) that help the computer to understand each other communication.

The need for world wide web was to make an easy understanding of the new computer technology, and information networks. Tim Berner Lee stated work in 1989 wrote a proposal for the world wide web. After the first proposal in 1990, he again wrote a proposal for world wide web.

In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee took the initiative towards the invention of WWW and wrote the first proposal for the World Wide Web. Later, he wrote another proposal in May 1990. In November 1990 the Robert Cailliau and Tim make a management proposal for WWW. This proposal had final points and different terms about the world wide web. In this tutorial, we will have a detailed look at its working, applications and some other related parameters. So let’s get started with the Full Form of WWW.

Full Form of WWW

• The word WWW stands for world wide web it is also defined as Web. It is a combination of websites assembled on different web servers and attached to the computers via the internet.
• On these sites, different data and information is exited in the form of text, pictures, videos, audios, etc.

• Any person can get all these pieces of information all over the world through internet using their laptops, computer, and other devices.
• With the internet World, Wide Web allows the recovery and display of written data and audio, video to your electronic device.
• The main core of WWW is website pages whose format is HTML (hypertext markup language) and these sites are interlinked through hyperlinks.
• Such links are connected electronically and related information is connected by these links we can get any information through these links.
• The feature of Hypertext is that it stores a word from the information so to get other website pages which also have information related to that specific word.
• All website pages have their specific address on the internet that address known as URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
• The combinations of all page that belong to single uniform resource locator is known as website, such as www.theengineeringknowledge.com.

• Thus the WWW is like a large size electronic book whose pages (websites) are saved on different servers all over the world.
• All famous and larger website uses more than one servers to stores their pages while new or less popular websites normally used only a single server.
• The use of more than one server makes easy for a user to get easily access information with the speed.
• Thus www offers a communication platform for users to save and interchange different data through the internet.
• Different to book, where we read one page after another in a sequence on WWW we use hyperlinks of visit website pages after other pages.

Difference between Internet and WWW

• These are some differences between the internet and WWW.

 

Internet	WWW
The full form of the internet is an Interconnected Network.	The full form of WWW is the world wide web.
The Internet is a network of computers, mobiles, and laptops.	While WWW is information that we read on the internet.
It connects different computers all over the world for data sharing.	It is shared information through the internet.
Data shared through the internet in the form of different languages called Protocol	While WWW uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) protocol for the transfer of data.
Internet does not use any web browser but it is a building block of WWW.	It uses different browsers for data sharing such as internet explorer, etc.
There is no specified creator of the internet.	It was created by Tim Berner lee.

Working of WWW

• The working of the world wide web is shown in the given below figure. In the figure, you can see the main server is connected with different computers through the internet.

•  When any user searches any information on the internet than the server sends specific information to the user’s computer.
• The server is software that provides website pages search by the user on any browser.
• The user of the computer who searches for any data or asking to a web server for any information is known as a client.
• Users can get related information through the browser installed on their computer.
• The main purpose of web server is to store all websites. Web server is like house taken for rent similarly server has web pages of different websites and user access to these pages.
• Fo storing of different pages website owner has to pay some specified amount to the server owner on a  monthly or annual basis.
• When you open your installed browser on a computer and enter any universal resource locator (URL) in the search bar of at that time worldwide web start operation.
• During searching for something on the internet three main technologies are used to get data from the server of a website to the computer of user.
• These 3 technologies are HTML, HTTP and web browsers. Let’s discuss all these one by one.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

•  The HTML (hypertext markup language) programming language that used to make a website.
• In this language there are different tags are used to describes the structure of different website pages.
•  The tags of HTML are for different parameters in pages like heading, table, bullet, etc.
• Whenever you open any website page you do not see the tags used on that page all these tags are shown only to the admin of that website.
• The main use of HTML on the website is to shown different pictures, text styles, and some other parameters on the website.

Web Browser

• The web browser is also called a browser it is a program that used to show data of websites such as textual information, photos, video, etc.
• For use of browser you just installed it on your computer and click on its icon on your computer. It will automatically connected with the WWW and you can search for any information by typing URL on the browser address bar.

• At the creating time browsers were limited for browsing but now they are used for sending are receiving emails, sending different videos and audio files, used for social media such as Facebook, Twiter, etc.
• Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc are commonly used browsers.

So friends that is the detailed post on Full Form of WWW I have mentioned each and everything related to the full form of www. If you have any further query ask in comments. See you in the next tutorial. Have a good day. Thanks for reading.
