COURSE DETAILS
"How an Internet Browser Works"
Computer/Technology 350 [
,
]
Prereq: Computer/Technology 320, or equivalent. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Length: 4 sessions, each 2 hours long.
After a brief review of the topics covered in Computer/Technology 301 & 320, we look more closely at the browser as a piece of application software. We examine its inputs (HTML “source code”, etc.) and outputs (a displayed web page, etc.), and learn how the browser communicates with an external website through the HTTP protocol. We examine Internet traffic, and learn how routers are used to direct packets of information in the most efficient manner. We use a tool to “watch” traffic going between the browser and the remote website. Finally, we study Internet connectivity in detail.
