Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate
with each other through networking protocol. The clients send requests to the servers and the
servers respond immediately with the required data.
The server stores the files and information in the form of websites. A website is a collection
of web pages. A web page is a document that contains text, graphics, videos, audios and links
to other pages. Every web page of a website has a unique address called Uniform Resource
Locator (URL). We can use this URL to access any web page from anywhere in the world. Have
you ever wondered how these web pages are created? HTML is the most widely used language
to design web pages.

was released in 2008.
