The World Wide Web (commonly just called "the web") is an enormous and rapidlygrowing collection of documents stored on computers all around the world connected by the Internet. In addition to text, the documents can contain sounds, music, video clips, 3-D animations, and more, and they are connected in such a way that readers can jump from document to document very easily. One of the many revolutionary aspects of the web is that it offers more people than ever the ability to publicly share information with an international audience. Some people use the phrase "electronic publication" to describe the process of creating and posting web pages because the web provides such wide distribution. From previous lab work, we are familiar with some of the core technologies that make the web possible, including Internet basics such as host names, URLs, and file transfer. This lab focuses on the last missing piece: HTML, the computer language used to produce web pages. In the procedure, you will produce your own webpage from scratch, writing in basic HTML, and "publish" it to the web. What HTML is and isn't. HTML stands for Hypertext Mark-up Language and is used to produce web pages. "Hypertext" is text viewed on a computer that includes connections called "hyperlinks" or, more commonly, just links, which can be selected to jump to other documents, images, and other files. Hypertext existed before the web in the form of documents that were linked to other documents on the same computer (without using the network), but it became much more popular with the advent of the Internet and web browsers.
