The World Wide Web

The Web provides a graphical face for the Internet. Web servers (servers

running specialized software) provide Web sites that you access by using the

HTTPS protocol on port 443 and HTTP on port 80 and thus get more-or-less

useful information. Using a Web browser, such as Apple Safari, Microsoft

Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox, you can click a link on a Web

page and be instantly transported—not just to some Web server in your home

town—to anywhere in the world. Figure 21-26 shows Firefox at the home

page of my company’s Web site, www.totalsem.com. Where is the server

located? Does it matter? It could be in a closet in my office or in a huge data

center in Northern Virginia. The great part about the Web is that you can get

from here to there and access the information you need with few clicks or

taps.
