The Web
Want to get an idea out there? Sell something? Just need a creative
outlet? Turn to the Web
— we don’t need to tell you it has become
the universal form of communication. Even better, it’s a form of
communication YOU can participate in.
But if you really want to use the Web effectively, you’ve got to
know a few things about HTML—not to mention, a few things
about how the Web works too. Let’s take a look from 30,000 feet:

... The Internet To make web pages, you create
files written in the HyperText
Markup Language (HTML for
short) and place them on a web
server (we’ll talk about how to
get your files on a server later
in the book).
Once you’ve put your files on
a web server, any browser can
retrieve your web pages over
the Internet.
And there are a lot of PCs and devices
connected to the Internet all running web
browsers. More importantly, there are
friends, family, fans, and potential customers
using those devices!
Web Server The HTML in your web page tells the
browser what it needs to know to display
your page. And, if you’ve done your job
well, your pages will even display well on cell
phones and mobile devices, and work with
speech browsers and screen magnifiers for
the visually impaired.
