In our last class we continued with a new selection of HTML tags.
This included:
-<br/>
-<div>
-<ul> and <ol> and <li>
We also discussed 'nesting' which is basically nestling tags within tags. It is very important that your tags are closed in reverse once completed.
We learnt things you can make with code and that you cannot, for example we can make text, boarders and lines, but you cannot of coarse make a photograph or a logo.
We learnt about the <div> tag which enables you to structure your page into sections which then you can nestle tags within. This I found very logical, and things began to make sense after this was explained to me.
We learnt about attributes, this is extra information about the content inside the tag, and is usually measured with a value.

How the web works
The answer to how the web works lies within its infrastructure, it is basically your computer connected to a network which in turn is connected to another network, connected to a network, which are all linked together creating a web.
To break it down your computer would be connected to a internet service provider (ISP) via a modem which connects to a larger network within the internet. Routers act as joiners between networks and determine data's intended destination.
Every computer or device that is connected to the internet has an IP address. This is usually a number code which is known as Internet Protocol, a language that computers use to communicate over the internet.
Web addresses have a system that automatically maps IP addresses to a text name address, This is called Domain Name System, or DNS. A URL is used to find specific web pages, it is also composed with a domain name.
To view a web page DNS servers accept requests from other name servers and convert names to IP addresses. When a request comes in, a DNS server will answer the request by providing a IP address.
