HTML & CSS

-Blog post 3

About HTML

Firstly, what is HTML? It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Markup language is a set of markup tags. The tags are then used to describe the content on the page. HTML documents are also web pages.

About tags

Tags are keywords which are surrounded by angle brackets. There would usually be two types of tags, like <b> and <b/>. The tag with a slash is the end tag or closing tag

This is how HTML coding looks like...

There are many different versions of HTML, the latest version is HTML5.

Web browsers read HTML documents and display them as web pages.
A web browser does not display HTML tags, but uses the tags to display the content on the web page.

A web browser can only display a HTML page if it knows the HTML type and version used.

About CSS

What does CSS stand for? Cascading Style Sheets. What is it used for? CSS defines how HTML elements are displayed.

There are three different ways in which CSS can be used: 1. Internal Style Sheet 2. Inline styles 3. External Style Sheet.

I will only talk about External Style Sheet. 

What is an External Style Sheet? It is used to change the appearance and layout of multiple pages at once. And is located in the same file as a particular HTML file.

A CSS file looks something like this...

Any page links to a CSS using the <link> tag and is placed inside the head section.

A Web 2.0 site may allows users to interact and collaborate with one other in a social dialogue , in contrast to Web sites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content.

Compared to Web 1.0, Web 2.0 is easier to use with the new functions in Web 2.0.

Not only is it easy to use, but also it's easier to learn. With Web 2.0, one can get started on a web page or a website much earlier.

Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 is a lot safer and users would not need to worry as much when it comes to surfing the web or making sites.

The different files and content is more organised with developed deep-linking web architecture. A user would be able to find his or her files or website much conveniently.

                          What I have learnt from Infocomm Studies

-Blog Post 1

The Internet and the World Wide Web...
Firstly, I learnt that the World Wide Web was originally supposed to be used for scientists to share information from different places. The World Wide Web was only usable after September 1969.

Secondly, The number of host nodes have drastically increased over time and is there are about 200 million host nodes today.

Thirdly, There are three different ways to access the Internet. 
Through ISP, OSP and Wireless Internet Service Provider.

The fourth thing I've learnt is that an IP Address is the number that uniquely defines each PC or device connected to the internet.



The "www"    ----->
actually stands for World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a worldwide collection of electronic documents which are also known as a web page.




What do use to view the World Wide Web? Well a web browser, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Firefox, would allow one to see the different web pages on the internet.

In every web page there always would a home page. Now, what is a home page? It is the first page any web page presents.

In some web pages you can download files. What is downloading? It is the process of taking files from the internet and putting it into your computer.

On every web page, there would always be a URL at the top of the web page. A URL stands for Unique Resource Locater which is a unique address for a certain web page.

Last but not least, what is a search engine? It is a program used to search for web pages or files.

Hi, My name is Ryan Loh, I am from Hwa Chong Institution and welcome to my blog! Feel free to explore my blog and if you have any other questions, you can ask me in the comment box down below or email me at ryanloh28@yahoo.com.sg.

My IF Experience...
When I first started learning about Infocomm Technology, I felt lost and could merely understand what the teacher was talking about. But after a few weeks of lesson, I was able to understand Infocomm Technology
better and started enjoying the lessons. 

My Experience in Hwa Chong...
When I stepped into Hwa Chong for the very first time, I almost thought that I would get lost, but experience the life and culture in Hwa Chong allowed to familiarise myself with my new environment. Knowing that Hwa Chong is a very prestigious school, I assumed that I would not be able to handle the amount of homework which would be given, but now I realised that it isn't as terrible as I thought it would be.

This is a picture of me with my friends and previous school's teachers. I am the second person from the right of the first row...
