1
00:00:00,870 --> 00:00:04,052
Lots of different ways to use
the internet, we all know that.
2
00:00:04,052 --> 00:00:08,479
But I want to cover one of the more
prevalent ways that people access
3
00:00:08,479 --> 00:00:10,745
the internet, through the web.
4
00:00:10,745 --> 00:00:13,992
All websites can be
accessed through the web.
5
00:00:13,992 --> 00:00:18,893
Websites are basically text documents
that we format with HTML or
6
00:00:18,893 --> 00:00:21,140
HyperText Markup Language.
7
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:24,169
It's a coding language
used by web browsers.
8
00:00:24,169 --> 00:00:28,214
Web pages are generally made
up of very basic components.
9
00:00:28,214 --> 00:00:33,320
They contain multimedia content like text,
images, audio and video.
10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,712
When you want to navigate to a website,
11
00:00:36,712 --> 00:00:41,070
you would type in URL like,
www.reddit.com.
12
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:42,744
A URL which stands for
13
00:00:42,744 --> 00:00:48,630
Uniform Resource Locator is just a web
address similar to a home address.
14
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:53,610
Notice the www in the URL,
it stands for World Wide Web.
15
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:58,610
The second portion, reddit.com is
something we call a domain name.
16
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:02,260
Anyone can register a domain name,
it's just our website name.
17
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:05,552
Once a name is taken it will
be registered to ICANN,
18
00:01:05,552 --> 00:01:09,405
the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers.
19
00:01:09,405 --> 00:01:12,125
Once a domain name is registered with,
ICANN,
20
00:01:12,125 --> 00:01:16,145
no one else can take that name
unless it becomes available again.
21
00:01:16,145 --> 00:01:19,785
The last part of the URL,
in this case is dot com.
22
00:01:19,785 --> 00:01:25,260
But you can also use different domain
endings like reddit.net or reddit.org.
23
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:28,046
The different domain name
endings are standards for
24
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:29,830
what type of website it might be.
25
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:35,340
So a domain that ends in .edu is mainly
used for educational institutions.
26
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:39,070
Remember how computers use IP
addresses to find another computer.
27
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:43,350
Well, you can do the same if you wanted
to find a computer on the internet.
28
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:51,183
Let's go ahead and type 172.217.6.46
into a web browser and hit enter.
29
00:01:51,183 --> 00:01:53,041
Wait a minute, what happened?
30
00:01:53,041 --> 00:01:54,970
How come we're at Google's homepage?
31
00:01:54,970 --> 00:02:01,142
It turns out the IP address
172.217.6.46 maps to Google's
32
00:02:01,142 --> 00:02:07,030
homepage through a critical web
protocol Domain Name System or DNS.
33
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:10,220
DNS acts like our internet directory.
34
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:14,720
And let's just use human readable
way words to map to an IP address.
35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,340
The computer doesn't
know what Google.com is.
36
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:20,960
It only knows how to get
to an IP address with DNS.
37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,560
It's able to map google's
IP address with Google.com.
38
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,870
Every time you go on a website, your
computer is performing a DNS look up to
39
00:02:28,870 --> 00:02:32,590
find the IP address of
the website name you typed in.
40
00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:37,700
This trick can be a good first step in
diagnosing certain kinds of DNS issues.
41
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:41,570
So if you're able to access
a website by its IP address but
42
00:02:41,570 --> 00:02:46,647
not its human readable domain name,
then there's a good bet that there's
43
00:02:46,647 --> 00:02:51,988
probably a problem somewhere in the DNS
configuration your network is using.
44
00:02:51,988 --> 00:02:56,870
Understanding IP addresses can come in
handy in all sorts of other situations you
45
00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:59,686
might encounter as an IT
support specialist.
46
00:02:59,686 --> 00:03:03,848
The source of internet requests
are usually identified by IP addresses in
47
00:03:03,848 --> 00:03:04,670
server logs.
48
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:07,652
Many pieces of IT infrastructure
need to have some
49
00:03:07,652 --> 00:03:11,640
kind of IP address configuration
applied to them in order to work.
50
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:15,922
DNS is a huge system and
we'll be discussing more about it later.
51
00:03:15,922 --> 00:03:18,876
Now that you understand the basics
of how the internet works.
52
00:03:18,876 --> 00:03:22,792
I'll sign off for now, and leave you in
the very capable hands of my friend and
53
00:03:22,792 --> 00:03:24,255
colleague Jeone Spicuzza.
54
00:03:24,255 --> 00:03:28,095
I'll see you again in course to the bits
and bytes of computer networking.
55
00:03:28,095 --> 00:03:29,806
But in the next lessons,
56
00:03:29,806 --> 00:03:34,546
Jeone is going to talk about
the incredible boom of the internet age.
