Project Work
The aim of the class project is to create tangible and useful IT applications. The learner may
identify a real-world problem by exploring the environment. e.g. Students can visit shops/business
places, communities or other organizations in their localities and enquire about the functioning of
the organization, and how data are generated, stored, and managed.
The learner can take data stored in csv or database file and analyze using Python libraries and
generate appropriate charts to visualize. If an organization is maintaining data offline, then the
learner should create a database using MySQL and store the data in tables.
Data can be imported in Pandas for analysis and visualization. Learners can use Python libraries of
their choice to develop software for their school or any other social good. Learners should be
sensitized to avoid plagiarism and violation of copyright issues while working on projects. Teachers
should take necessary measures for this. Any resources (data, image etc.) used in the project
must be suitably referenced.
The project can be done individually or in groups of 2 to 3 students. The project should be started by
students at least 6 months before the submission deadline.

CHAPTER-1 01
MySQL Functions and
Querying using SQL
What is a function?
A function is a predefined formula which takes one or more arguments as input then
process the arguments and returns an output.
MySQL function
A function is a set of predefined commands that performs specific operation and returns a
single value. The functions used in SQL can be categorised into two categories namely single
row or scalar functions and multiple row or group or aggregate functions.
Single Row Functions: These are also known as Scalar functions. Single row functions
are applied on a single value and return a single value.
Mathematical Functions: MySQL provides a number of functions used for performing

mathematical calculations on database. Mathematical functions are very important in SQL

to implement different mathematical concepts in queries. Some mathematical functions
are explained with examples as follows:
Function Description Example

MOD ( A,B) Return the remainder of A/B SELECT MOD(11,3) ; OUTPUT:- 2
SELECT MOD(10.5,3) ; OUTPUT:- 1.5
POWER ( A,B) Returns the value of A raised to the SELECT POWER(5,3) ; OUTPUT:- 125
or power B SELECT POW(2,-2) ; OUTPUT:- 0.25
POW(A,B) SELECT POWER(-2,3) ; OUTPUT:- -8
SELECT POWER(2.37,3.45) ; OUTPUT:-
19.6282….
ROUND (N,D ) Return number rounded to D place SELECT ROUND(1.58) ; OUTPUT:- 2

after decimal, If D is not specified,N is
rounded up to 0 digit of decimal and SELECT ROUND(-1.23) ; OUTPUT:- -1
the result is an Integer.
If the first digit after the decimal SELECT ROUND(1.298,0) ; OUTPUT:- 1
value is 5 or >5 then integer number
is increased by 1 SELECT ROUND(-5.898,0) ;OUTPUT:- -6
If D is +ve ,then N is rounded up to D
digits after the decimal by checking SELECT ROUND(3.79867,3) ; OUTPUT:-
D+1th digit,if it is 5or <5,then the 3.799
dthdigit is increased by 1 If D is -ve ,
then N is rounded up to D digits SELECT ROUND(23.298,-1) ; OUTPUT:-
before the decimal by checking Dth 20
digit, if it is 5 or >5 then d-1th digit is
increased by 1,all trailing dth digits SELECT ROUND(36567.78,-4) ;
are converted to 0 and the result is an OUTPUT:- 40000
integer value.
SIGN ( ) Return the sign of the given number SELECT SIGN(-10) ; OUTPUT:- -1
SELECT SIGN(10) ; OUTPUT:- 1
SQRT ( ) Return the non-negative square root SELECT SQRT(25) ; OUTPUT:- 5

of the given number
TRUNCATE( x, d) Truncates x to the specified number SELECT TRUNCATE(7.29, 0) ;
of d. If d is 0,it removes all the decimal OUTPUT:- 7
values and returns integer.
If d is +ve, Truncates x to d digits right SELECT TRUNCATE(27.59, 1) ;
to the decimal point. OUTPUT:- 27.5
If d is -ve, Truncates x to d digits left fo
the decimal point. SELECT TRUNCATE(389.23, -2) ;
OUTPUT:- 300
ABS (value ) Returns the absolute value of the SELECT ABS(-25) ; OUTPUT:- 25
given value. SELECT ABS(-234.67) ;
OUTPUT:- 234.67

String/Text Functions: The string/text functions of SQL are used to extract, change, format or
alter character strings. They accept a character string as an input and provides character string or
numeric values as an output. Some string/text functions are explained with example as follows :
ASCII( ) Returns the ASCII code of the SELECT ASCII (‘A’ ) FROM DUAL; OUTPUT:- 65
character.
SELECT ASCII (‘1’ ) FROM DUAL; OUTPUT:- 49
SELECT ASCII (‘ABC’ ) FROM DUAL; OUTPUT:- 65
Remove spaces from beginning SELECT TRIM( ‘ APPLE ‘);
TRIM ( )
and ending OUTPUT:’APPLE’
Returns string after removing SELECT LTRIM( ‘ APPLE ‘); OUTPUT:’APPLE
LTRIM ()
left side of spaces. ’
Returns string after removing SELECT LTRIM( ‘ APPLE ‘);

RTRIM ()
right side of spaces. OUTPUT:’ APPLE’
It search one string in another SELECT INSTR (‘COMPUTER’,’PUT’) ;

INSTR( )
string and returns position, if OUTPUT: - 4
not found 0
SELECT INSTR (‘COMPUTER’,’PY’) ;
OUTPUT: - 0
Returns number of Characters SELECT LENGTH (‘COMPUTER’) ;
LENGTH ( )
in the string.
OUTPUT: - 8
Returns N characters of String S SELECT LEFT(‘COMPUTER’,3) ;
LEFT (S,N)
from beginning
OUTPUT:- COM
Returns N characters of String S SELECT RIGHT(‘COMPUTER’,3) ;
RIGHT(S,N)
from ending
OUTPUT:- TER
Returns the substring as SELECT SUBSTR(‘COMPUTER’,3,4) ;
SUBSTR ( )
specified
OUTPUT:- MPUT
Returns concatenated String SELECT CONCAT(‘COM’,’PUTER’) ;
CONCATE ()
OUTPUT:- COMPUTER
Converts string into lowercase. SELECT LOWER(‘COMPUTER’) ; OUTPUT:-
LOWER() /
LCASE() computer
Converts string into uppercase. SELECT UPPER(‘COMPUTER’) ;
UPPER() /
UCASE() OUTPUT:- COMPUTER
Replace all occurrences of the SELECT REPLACE (‘INFO

REPLACE()
second string in the first string COMPUTER’,’INFO’,’LATEST’) ;
with the third string. OUTPUT:- LATEST COMPUTER
Return reverse of the given SELECT REVERSE(‘COMPUTER’) ;
REVERSE()
string.
OUTPUT:- RETUPMOC
Returns a given string for a SELECT REPEAT(‘COM’,3) ;
REPEAT ()
specified number of times.
OUTPUT:- COMCOMCOM

Date/Time Functions: MySQL stores date in date/time format, representing the century,
month, year, day and hours. The date and time functions are used to perform operations on the
date/time data stored in the database. The default date format is YYYY-MM-DD in MySQL. Some
date/time functions are explained with examples as follows:
CURDATE( ) Returns the current Date SELECT CURDATE( ) ; OUTPUT:-
14/06/2021
DATE( ) Returns the Date part only SELECT DATE( ‘01/07/2020’) ;

OUTPUT:- 01
MONTH ( ) Returns the Month part only SELECT MONTH (‘01/07/2020’ )

OUTPUT: - 07
YEAR ( ) Returns the Year part only SELECT YEAR (‘01/07/2020’ )
OUTPUT: - 2020
DAYNAME ( ) Returns the name of the week day SELECT DAYNAME (‘01/07/2020’ )
OUTPUT: - WEDNESDAY
MONTHNAME () Returns the name of the month. SELECT MONTHNAME (‘01/07/2020’
) OUTPUT: - JULY
DAYOFMONTH( ) Returns the day of the month(1-31) SELECT DAYOFMONTH
(‘01/07/2020’ ) OUTPUT: - 01
DAYOFWEEK ( ) Returns the weekday index of the SELECT DAYOFWEEK (‘01/07/2020’ )
date. OUTPUT: - 04
DAYOFYEAR ( ) Returns the day of the year(1-366). SELECT DAYOFYEAR (‘01/07/2020’ )
OUTPUT: - 183
NOW ( ) Returns both current date & time at SELECT NOW ( );
which the function execute.
SYSDATE ( ) Returns the current date & time. SELECT NOW ( ) , SLEEP(2), NOW( );
OUTPUT: 01/07/2020 04:20:32
01/07/2020 04:20:32
SELECT SYSDATE( ), SLEEP ( 2 ),
SYSDATE( );
OUTPUT: 01/07/2020 04:20:32
01/07/2020 04:20:34
Difference Between NOW() and SYSDATE() : NOW() function return the date and time at which
function was executed even if we execute multiple NOW() function with select. whereas SYSDATE()
will always return date and time at which each SYSDATE() function started execution.
For example:
mysql> Select now(), sleep(2), now();
Output: 2018-12-04 10:26:20, 0, 2018-12-04 10:26:20
mysql> Select sysdate(), sleep(2), sysdate();
Output: 2018-12-04 10:27:08, 0, 2018-12-04 10:27:10

CHAPTER-2 01
Aggregate Functions
Aggregate functions are also called multiple row functions. These functions work on a
set of records as a whole, and return a single value for each column of the records
on which the function is applied.
Aggregate Functions is used to perform calculation on group of rows and return the
calculated summary like sum of salary , average of salary.
1. AVG() 2. COUNT() 3.MAX()

4 .MIN() 5. SUM( )
1. 1. AVG() Function: The AVG() function returns the average value of a numeric
column.
Syntax: SELECT AVG(column_name) FROM table_name
SQL AVG() Example: We have the following "Orders" table:

O_Id OrderDate OrderPrice Customer
1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
5 2020/08/30 2000 Samarjeet Gupta
6 2020/10/04 100 Nitesh Sharma
Now we want to find the average value of the "OrderPrice" fields.
We use the following SQL statement:

SELECT AVG(OrderPrice) AS OrderAverage FROM Orders
The result-set will look like this:

OrderAverage
950
Now we want to find the customers that have an OrderPrice value higher than the average
OrderPrice value.
SELECT Customer FROM Orders

WHERE OrderPrice>(SELECT AVG(OrderPrice) FROM Orders)

Customer
Vivek Kumar
Nitesh Sharma
Samarjeet Gupta
2. COUNT( ) Function:
The COUNT() function returns the number of rows that matches a specified criteria.
The COUNT(column_name) function returns the number of values (NULL values will not be
counted) of the specified column:
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name
The COUNT(*) function returns the number of records in a table:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name
The COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) function returns the number of distinct values of the
specified column:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) FROM table_name
COUNT(column_name) Example
We have the following "Orders" table:

1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
Now we want to count the number of orders from "Customer Nitesh Sharma".
SELECT COUNT(Customer) AS CustomerNitesh Sharma FROM Orders

WHERE Customer='Nitesh Sharma'
The result of the SQL statement above will be 2, because the customer Nitesh Sharma has
made 2 orders in total:

Customer Nitesh Sharma
Example: If we omit the WHERE clause, like this:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumberOfOrders FROM Orders
NumberOfOrders
which is the total number of rows in the table.
COUNT(DISTINCT column_name) Example:
Now we want to count the number of unique customers in the "Orders" table.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Customer) AS NumberOfCustomers FROM Orders
NumberOfCustomers
which is the number of unique customers (Vivek Kumar, Nitesh Sharma, and Samarjeet
Gupta) in the "Orders" table.
3. The MAX() Function

The MAX() function returns the largest value of the selected column.
Syntax: SELECT MAX(column_name) FROM table_name
Example: We have the following "Orders" table:

1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar

Now we want to find the largest value of the "OrderPrice" column.

SELECT MAX(OrderPrice) AS LargestOrderPrice FROM Orders

LargestOrderPrice
2000
4. The MIN() Function
The MIN() function returns the smallest value of the selected column.
Syntax: SELECT MIN(column_name) FROM table_name
1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
Now we want to find the smallest value of the "OrderPrice" column.

SELECT MIN(OrderPrice) AS SmallestOrderPrice FROM Orders

SmallestOrderPrice
100
5. The SUM() Function
The SUM() function returns the total sum of a numeric column.

Syntax: SELECT SUM(column_name) FROM table_name
1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
Now we want to find the sum of all "OrderPrice" fields".

SELECT SUM(OrderPrice) AS OrderTotal FROM Orders

OrderTotal
5700
The GROUP BY Statement
The GROUP BY statement is used in conjunction with the aggregate functions to group the
result-set by one or more columns.
Syntax:
SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value
GROUP BY column_name

1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
Now we want to find the total sum (total order) of each customer.
We will have to use the GROUP BY statement to group the customers.

SELECT Customer,SUM(OrderPrice) FROM Orders
GROUP BY Customer

Customer SUM(OrderPrice)
Vivek Kumar 2000
Nitesh Sharma 1700
Samarjeet Gupta 2000
Let's see what happens if we omit the GROUP BY statement:


Vivek Kumar 5700
Nitesh Sharma 5700
Vivek Kumar 5700
Vivek Kumar 5700
Nitesh Sharma 5700
The result-set above is not what we wanted.
Explanation of why the above SELECT statement cannot be used: The SELECT statement
above has two columns specified (Customer and SUM(OrderPrice). The "SUM(OrderPrice)"
returns a single value (that is the total sum of the "OrderPrice" column), while "Customer"
returns 6 values (one value for each row in the "Orders" table). This will therefore not give
us the correct result. However, you have seen that the GROUP BY statement solves this
problem.
GROUP BY More Than One Column
We can also use the GROUP BY statement on more than one column, like this:
SELECT Customer, OrderDate, SUM(OrderPrice) FROM Orders
GROUP BY Customer,OrderDate
The HAVING Clause
The HAVING clause was added to MySQL because the WHERE keyword could not be used
with aggregate functions.
Syntax:
SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value
GROUP BY column_name
HAVING aggregate_function(column_name) operator value

1 2018/11/12 1000 Vivek Kumar
2 2021/10/23 1600 Nitesh Sharma
3 2020/09/02 700 Vivek Kumar
4 2019/09/03 300 Vivek Kumar
Now we want to find if any of the customers have a total order of less than 2000.

GROUP BY Customer
HAVING SUM(OrderPrice)<2000

Nitesh Sharma 1700
Now we want to find if the customers "Vivek Kumar" or "Samarjeet Gupta" have a total
order of more than 1500.
We add an ordinary WHERE clause to the SQL statement:

SELECT Customer, SUM(OrderPrice) FROM Orders
WHERE Customer='Vivek Kumar' OR Customer='Samarjeet Gupta'
GROUP BY Customer
HAVING SUM(OrderPrice)>1500

Vivek Kumar 2000

Subjective Questions
Short Answer Type Questions

1. What are the aggregate functions in SQL?
Ans. Aggregate function is a function where the values of multiple-rows are grouped
together as input on certain criteria to form a single value of more significant
meaning. Some aggregate functions used in SQL are
SUM ( ), AVG( ), MIN(), etc.
2. What is the purpose of GROUP BY clause in MySQL? How is it different from ORDER
BY clause?
Ans. The GROUP BY clause can be used to combine all those records that have identical
value in a particular field or a group of fields. Whereas, ORDER BY clause is used to
display the records either in ascending or descending order based on a particular
field. For ascending order ASC is used and for descending order, DESC is used. The
default order is ascending order.
3. Shanya Khanna is using a table EMPLOYEE. It has the following columns:

Admno, Name, Agg, Stream [column Agg contains Aggregate marks]

FROM EMPLOYEE
GROUP BY Stream;
4. What is the differences between HAVING clause and Group By clause?

Ans
S.No. Having Clause Group By Clause

1. It is used for applying some extra condition to The group by clause is used to group
the query. the data according to particular
column or row.
2. Having can be used without group by clause, in group by can be used without having
aggregate function, in that case it behaves like clause with the select statement.
where clause.
3. The having clause can contain aggregate It cannot contain aggregate functions.
functions.
4. It restrict the query output by using some It groups the output on basis of some
conditions rows or columns.

5. What is the difference between WHERE clause and HAVING clause?
Ans: A HAVING clause is like a WHERE clause, but applies only to groups as a whole (that is, to the
rows in the result set representing groups), whereas the WHERE clause applies to individual
rows. A query can contain both a WHERE clause and a HAVING clause.

1) State any two differences between single row functions and multiple row functions.
OR
What is the difference between the order by and group by clause when used along with the
select statement. Explain with an example.
Ans:- Differences between single row functions and multiple row functions. (i) Single row functions work
on one row only whereas multiple row functions group rows (ii) Single row functions return one
output per row whereas multiple row functions return only one output for a specified group of
rows.
OR The order by clause is used to show the contents of a table/relation in a sorted manner with
respect to the column mentioned after the order by clause. The contents of the column can be
arranged in ascending or descending order.
The group by clause is used to group rows in a given column and then apply an aggregate function

Command1 : Select count(*) from employee;
Command2: Select count(commission) from employee;
She gets the output as 4 for the first command but gets an output 3 for the second command.
Explain the output with justification.
Ans:- This is because the column commission contains a NULL value and the aggregate functions do not
take into account NULL values. Thus Command1 returns the total number of records in the table
whereas Command2 returns the total number of non NULL values in the column commission.
4) Consider the following SQL string: “Preoccupied”
Write commands to display:

5) What is the difference between the where and Having clause when used along
with the select statement. Explain with an example.
OR

Explain the difference between Update and Alter command with help of an
example.
Ans Where clause is used to apply condition on individual rows and not supports aggregate function
While Having clause is used to apply condition on groups and it supports aggregate functions.
Eg: SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SALARY > 50000;
Eg: SELECT * FROM EMP GROUP BY DEPTNO HAVING COUNT(*) > 2;
OR
UPDATE command is a part of DML command and used to update the data of rows of a table.
While ALTER command is a part of DDL command and used to change the structure of a table like
adding column, removing it or modifying the datatype of columns.
Eg: UPDATE EMP SET SALARY = 20000;
ALTER EMP ADD EMP_DOJ DATE;

Command1 : Select count(*) from FLIGHT;
Command2: Select count(DESTINATION) from FLIGHT;
He gets the output as 5 for the first command but gets an output 3 for the
second command. Explain the output with justification.
Ans:- This is because the column DESTINATION contains a NULL value and the aggregate functions do not
take into account NULL values. Thus Command1 returns the total number of records in the table
whereas Command2 returns the total number of non NULL values in the column DESTINATION.
8) Write the output for following queries:

CHAPTER-4 01
Computer Networks
Introduction:
Computer Network is a collection of autonomous computers interconnected by a single
technology. Two or more computers are said to be interconnected if they are able to exchange
information. A computer network is a system that connects independent computers in order to
share information and resources.
Brief History of Network

➢ In 1967, ARPA (Advance Research Project Agency by Department of Defence)
proposed the idea of ARPANET – a small network of computers.
➢ By 1969, ARPANET became reality that connect four nodes at University of California
at Los Angeles (UCLA), University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), Stanford
Research Institute (SRI) and University of Utah vai IMPs ( Interface Message
Processor – a specialized computer).
➢ In 1973, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn presented paper outlined the protocol(
Transmission Control Protocol) to achieve end-to-end delivery of packets.
Advantage of Computer Network:

➢ Central Storage of Data
➢ Sharing of Information
➢ Sharing of Resources(Hardware & Software)
➢ Reliability
➢ Communication
➢ Reduced Cost
Disadvantage of Computer Network:

➢ Computer networks require a specific setup
➢ Lack of Security
➢ Cost of network hardware and software
Components of Data Communication:

➢ Message – it information to be communicated
➢ Sender – The device which send the message
➢ Receiver – The device which receive the message
➢ Transmission media – It is physical path by which message travel from sender to
receiver
➢ Protocol – It is set of rules that governs data communication. Actually it is
agreement between the sender and receiver regarding various communication
parameter.
Data Flow
➢ Simplex – In this mode of communication, data is transmitted in one direction only.
e.g. Keyboard, monitor. It uses entire capacity of channel to send the data.
➢ Half Duplex – Communication is bi-directional but not same time. i.e. Walkie-Talkie.
It uses entire capacity of channel is utilized for each direction.

➢ Full Duplex – Communications is bi-directional simultaneously i.e. both sender and
receiver can be send data at same time.
Network Terminology
➢ Node- The device connected to a network.
➢ Client – The device that request for a service
➢ Server – The Device that render the services
➢ Client-Server - In this model, the data are stored on powerful computers called
Server that can be accessed by a much simpler computer called Client that are
connected by a network.
➢ Network Interface Card or Unit (Network Adapter or LAN card) - It is hardware that
allows a computer (or device) to connect to network.
➢ MAC (Media Access Control) address – Each NIC is assigned a unique 12 digit
hexadecimal number, known a MAC address, is used as network address in
communication. The format for the MAC address is
MM : MM : MM : SS : SS : SS
Manufacturer ID Card Id
➢ IP Address: Every device on network has unique identifier called IP address. It
consists of 4 bytes (IPv4) decimal number (between 0 to 255) separated by ‘.’
(Period).
➢ Channel – It is communication path through which data is actually transmitted.
➢ Communication Media- It is allows data or signal to be communicated across the
devices. It is means of communication.
➢ Data – Information stored within the computer system in form of ‘0’ and ‘1’
➢ Signal- It is electric or electromagnetic encoding of data to be transmitted. It can be
categorized into :
o Analog Signal – that has infinitely many level of intensity over a period of
time.
o Digital Signal – that can have only a limited number of defined values.
➢ Bit rate – It defines the amount of data transferred. It is defined as number of bits
per second (bps). [Bps – Bytes per Second]
➢ Baud – The number of changes in signal per second.
➢ Bandwidth – It is difference between the highest and the lowest frequencies
contained in the signal.
Mode of Transmission
➢ Analog or Broadband Transmission
• It uses analog signals to transmit the information

• The data can be sent simultaneously using various frequencies.
• It is a unidirectional method of data transmission.
• Multiple signals can be transmitted using multiple frequencies using only one
channel
• Signal range is long.
• Example- Used to transmit cable TV to premises
➢ Digital or baseband Transmission

• It uses digital signal (square wave) to transmit the information.
• It is bi-directional transmission.
• Entire bandwidth is for single signal transmission.
• Short distance signal travelling
• Ethernet is using Basebands for LAN

information from the webserver. Some commonly used web browsers are Google Chrome,
Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Apple Safari etc.
Plug-in or Add on or Extension:

➢ A plug-in or add on or extension is software that adds additional functionality to your web
browser. It adds a number of features to web browsers. For example, enable emoticons,
reading pdfs, languages etc.
Domain names
➢ A domain name is a website's address on the Internet.
➢ Domain names are used in URLs to identify to which server belong a specific webpage.
➢ The domain name consists of a hierarchical sequence of names (labels) separated by periods
(dots) and ending with an extension.
URL :- URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a
given unique resource on the Web or address of a website. The URL is an address that matches
users to a specific resource online, such as webpage. Example- http://www.kvsangathan.nic.in
WWW : The World Wide WEB (WWW), commonly known as the ‘Web’. It is an information system
where all the web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Tim Berners- Lee
invented the WWW in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990. The World Wide WEB
(WWW) or ‘Web’ is a collection of WebPages found over the internet. Web browser uses the
internet to access the ‘Web’.
Application of Internet Web 2.0 : The term web 2.0 is used to refer to a new generation of websites
that are supposed to let people to publish and share information online. It aims to encourage the
sharing of information and views, creativity that can be consume by the other users. E.g: Youtube
The Main characteristics of web 2.0 are:

Disadvantages of Voip:
✓ Reliable Internet connection required.
✓ No location tracking for emergency calls.
Website:- a website is a group of web pages, containing text, images and all types of multi-media
files.
Web Server: - A web server is a computer that stores web server software and a website's
component files (e.g. HTML documents, images, CSS style sheets, and JavaScript files).
The basic objective of the web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to the users using Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Apart from HTTP, a web server also supports SMTP (Simple Mail transfer Protocol)
and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol for e-mailing, for file transfer and storage.
When client sends request for a web page, the web server search for the requested page if
requested page is found then it will send it to client with an HTTP response. If the requested web
page is not found, web server will the send an HTTP response: Error 404 Not found.
Web Hosting :- Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website or web
application on the internet. When you sign up for a hosting service, you basically rent some space on
a server on which you can store all the files and data necessary for your website to work properly.

A server is a physical computer that runs without any interruption so that your website is available
all the time for anyone who wants to see it.
Types of Web Hosting:
One can use the space One server acts as

allotted to him to host multiple servers for
websites for other third multiple websites.
Web Browser :- A web browser, or simply "browser," is an application used to access and view
websites. Common web browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, and Apple Safari.
Plug-ins: - a plug-in (or plugin, add-in, add-on) is a software component that adds a specific feature
to an existing computer program. When a program supports plug-ins, it enables customization.
Plug-ins are commonly used in Internet browsers but also can be utilized in numerous other
types of application
Add-ons (in terms of H/W): An Add-on is either a hardware unit that can be added to a computer to
increase the capabilities or a program unit that enhances primary program. Some manufacturers and
software developers use the term add-on.
Cookies: - cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer and contains
information like which Web pages visited in the past, logging details Password etc. They are
designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website and can be
accessed by the web server or the client computer.
