Hi There everyone Vicky here and today we are going to learn about the web and the language of the web which is HTML so without any delay let's start.

what is the web and why do we need the web

The www (world wide web) is a collection of various web pages linked together via the internet. the www was invented in 1989. So the question arises, why do we need the web? Here is a simple example that will help you understand why we need the web. So, if you have some files on your computer or on your phone that you want to share with a friend, how would you go about doing so? First and foremost, go physically by visiting the friend's home or meeting him in person.

It's possible for you to share with your friend because they live near you or in your city, but what if the friend is out of town or somewhere else? Just imagine how much time and travel are required by you to deliver those files.

So the internet came into play, and now you can share any type of file with anyone in the world in just a few minutes.

What is HTML

Html stands for Hypertext Markup Language which is mainly used for creating websites. Here is the simple web page that will show hello world on the screen

So let's explore some of the tags in HTML.

Here we will learn about heading and paragraph tags, and if you don't like to write, here is Lorem, which will give you lots of words.

Below is an example that will help you understand in a much better way.

There are so many tags in HTML that we will learn about in the next article.

Now let's talk about the server.

A server is used to store data, and it is the server's responsibility to serve that data when a user requests it. So when you search anything on Google and hit enter, the Google server will serve you the search results.

here is the some of the examples of the servers

1. Apache HTTP Server

   The Apache HTTP Server is a free and open-source cross-platform web server software, released under the terms of Apache License 2.0. Apache is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation

1. Nginx

   Nginx is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.

So that's it, for now, we'll meet again in the next article to talk more about the web. In the meantime, keep learning.
