The World Wide Web is one of the fastest growing areas on the internet. As the name implies the World Wide Web is a universal mass of WebPages connected together through links. This is a great invention that allows us to be connected to the rest of the world. It grew from a project in 1989 at CERN in Switzerland. The Web is a large-scale distributed hypermedia. (i.e. graphics, video, Audio, text etc) system based on network computers which are connected to the internet. Web pages are written using a special formatting language called Hyper Text Markup language (HTLM), which is continually evolving to meet the advancing demand of internet. Java and JavaScript ASP.Net, Microsoft SQL server database 2008 and Dream weaver is becoming popular. Web pages that are stored in computer can be easily access through the internet explorer, Netscape navigator, Mosaic etc.
