Browsing


Browsing on the Internet is carried out using a browser on your computer. The best-known examples of browsers are Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, both of which are available at no cost.

For this course we will use Netscape and you are strongly advised to install it on the computer that you will use to follow the course. See the next section for instructions on how to download Netscape at no cost.

URLs

In order to be useful, the browser needs to be told what to browse. This is achieved by means of a URL (or Uniform Resource Locator) which is a unique name for any browsable item on the internet.
