Web Page with HTML

HyperText Markup Language


HTML can be used to display any type of document that is available on the web. The computer that maintains the document (host computer) and the computer that displays the document may be at different geographical locations.HTML is a versatile language and can be used on any platform or desktop. Being platform independent documents written in HTML can be viewed on any platform. HTML elements are used to markup the document and inform the browser like Microsoft  Internet Explorer , about the action to be taken when a certain element is specified.

Features of HTML


HTML allows us to:
  • Provide tags to make the document look attractive. Tags are used to represent the various elements of a Web page, like titles and images.
  • Use graphics and display text in different fonts, sizes and color. You can enhance the presentation of the document using these elements.
  • Create Hyper text links, also known as hyperlinks, to other documents or other portions of the same document. Hyperlinks connect the documents present on the web.
  • Display data in a tabular format.
  • Create Multiple windows in a web page.  

Planning a  Web Page

  • Identify the layout of the Web Page
  • Identify the HTML tags for the Web Page
  • Identify the title to be displayed in the browser window
  • Identify the content of the Web page 
  • Identify the background and location of each image for the webpage
  • Identify the characteristics of section header
  • Identify the characteristics of the text
  • Identify the name of the file
  • Identify the name of the web
  • Identify the browser to be used

Structure of a HTML document

An HTML document consists of text and tags.The text is used to convey the data of a document
and the tags are used to differentiate various parts of the document. The tags represent the HTML elements in a Web Page.

Tags of a HTML Document

Use the left angular bracket "<"  followed by the name of the tag and a right angular bracket ">" .
The brackets are used as delimiter of the tag. The tags are not case sensitive.

Unified Modeling Language- (UML)

Brief Background UML is a language for specifying,visualizing ,documenting and constructing the artifacts of software systems,as well as for business modeling and other non-software systems. UML has been developed by Grady  Booch, James Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson. Goals of UML are : To model systems using Object oriented concepts. To establish an explicit coupling to conceptual as well as executable artifacts To address the issues of scale inherent in complex , mission critical systems. To create a modeling language that can be used by humans as well as machines.  Understanding the thirteen diagrams of UML 2.x is an important part of understanding OO development. Although there is  far more to modeling than just the UML  the reality is the UML defines the standard modeling artifacts when it comes to object technology. There are three classifications of UML diagrams: Behavior diagrams . A type of diagram that depicts behavioral features of a ...

Local Area Networks LAN

Why use a LAN? The two basic reasons for developing a LAN are information sharing and resource sharing. Information sharing refers to business needs that require users to access the same data files ,exchange emails or search the internet for information. Resource sharing refers to one computer sharing a hardware device (for e.g a printer) or software package with other computers on the network. The main benefit of resource sharing is cost savings, while the main benefit  of information sharing is improved decision making. image courtesy Cray Networks Dedicated Server versus Peer-to-Peer Networks A dedicated server LAN has one computer that acts as the network server. It can connect with almost any other network,handle very large databases and use sophisticated LAN software. Moreover,high -end dedicated server LANs can be interconnected easily to form enterprise wide networks or in some cases replace the host mainframe central computer. Four common types of dedi...

End User Information Systems

End user computing is the direct,hands on use of computers by end users to perform the information processing needed to accomplish their work activities. End user computing has grown dramatically because information services departments have not been able to keep up with the information processing requests of end users. Also dramatic improvements in micro computer  hardware and software capabilities have made personal computing attractive , affordable and effective for end users in many organizations. End user computing application areas include Office Automation,Information Management and retrieval, decision support and application development. An end user computing system consists of hardware ,software, people and data resources. Hard ware resources include: microcomputer workstations,  local area network servers,  departmental minicomputers   corporate mainframes.  Software resources consist of  application packages,  fourth ge...
