Today in Information Systems we learned about HTML.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.
HTML is the language to display web pages.
Here is some basic HTML for a very simple web page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to my web page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=”white” text=”blue”>
<h1>This is my web page</h1>
This could become the best web site in the world EVER!!!
</body>

Today in Information Systems we touched on ISP and the hardware needed to access the internet,
ISP(Internet Service Provider)– A company that can give you access to the internet and may also give you a email and webhosting. Depending on the amount you pay to your ISP the faster your connection can be.
You can connect to the internet by using a modem. Modems can come in many different ways such as via cable, telephone and a USB stick.

Today in Int 2 IS we learned about the different protcols in TCP/IP (transfer control protocol and internet protocol)
The 4 main internet service protocols that we learned about are:
HTTP – is the service protocol that allows users to receive information from the World Wide Web
FTP – allows users to send (or receive) copies of files from or to different computer systems or networks.
SMTP – is generally the protocol used to send outgoing email messages
POP3 – is generally the protocol used to receive incoming email messages
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is concerned with taking a data message, breaking it into smaller chunks called packets and then re-assembling it again at the other end.
