The word architecture has many different connotations, including the construction of buildings and the planning or engineering of parts to make up a structural composition. In relation to computers, it is the fundamental style and basis, which allows people on a mass scale to communicate with each other globally via protocols; a universal programming language, which interconnects an infrastructure of networks (AKA the Internet to you and me). There are many components of website architecture; Internet Service Providers, Web Browsers/URLs, Web Hosting Services, Domain Names, Proxy Servers, and even the World Wide Web. I will try to discuss these principles. Many people are surprised when they realize that the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous. The role of the World Wide Web is a key phase in the architectural formation of the web itself: a hypertext coding system accessed via the Internet. Coding is critical to allowing millions of computers to connect and share their knowledge. Without coding or markup language as it is technically known, web functionality would be non-existent. It is a model or skeleton built as the top layer of the Internet. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the most common language spoken on the Internet. However, this is only one of many programming languages used for data transmission. Others include JSON (Java Script Object Notation) used to transmit more structured data between connections as an alternative to XML (Extensible Markup Language) – a set of rules that allow computers to talk to each other, in both written and verbal formats, across the world Internet or similar local connections. The Transmission Control Protocol or Internet Protocol (TCP/IP for short) was… middle of paper… eb content to launch and a proxy server will act as a mediator between the servers in case of security issues. Your firewall will ultimately evaluate whether information can pass to and from your system. It is a continuous and effective cycle that allows you to explore the thriving opportunities available on the Internet with minimal effort. Therefore, people can create innovations and "push the limits of their possibilities" - Monte Reid.ReferencesRFC1123 (nd) Internet engineering task force, [online] Available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123 [Accessed: 19 January 2012].W3C (n.d.)
