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.
HTML

of the web page. It consists of a series of elements and allows us to create web pages that contain

computer and on any operating system, e.g., Mac, Windows, etc. The latest version of HTML is HTML5
which was released in 2008.
