Tutorial 1 – 3 Facts Learned Blog

1. I've known how to translate URLs, but I didn't actually know what all the parts did, and how they broke down. Protocol: Set of rules that the computers use to move files from one computer to another. Domain Name: Unique name associated with a specific IP address. Pathname: Folder structure used to locate the file. Filename: Used to identify the webpages HTML document.

2. I learned about Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) managing domain names, and the differences in top level domains.

3. I was surprised to learn that the people who created Netscape Navigator and the people who created Mozilla were one-and-the-same.  I also learned "Mozilla" is short for "Mosaic Killer"
