URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

It identifies the location of web site or a web page on the internet. Each web page 
has a unique address called URL that identifies its location on the internet. Web browsers utilized the URL to open or to retrieve files on internet. The format of a URL consists of different parts.

What is URL ?

http://www.ittalentsearch.org/home/index.htm

  1. The http is a Protocol Name.
  2. www is the World Wide Web
  3. ittalentsearch.org is the Domain Name
  4. org is the TLP (Top-Level Domain)
  5. home/index.htm is the URL's path to file & folder
The first part of the address (URL) indicates the protocol or service being used. It gives information to the browser about the type of server to connect to and by which protocol.

The second part of the URL is a Full Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) which identifies web address running on the server.

The third part is the path name that name that refers to the location of files. The path name is always preceded by single slash "/" after the domain name. The fourth part is the file extension.

URLs can be categorized into: Absolute URL and Relative URL

Absolute URL: Absolute URLs are the URLs with complete internet address specifying the location of a resource. An Absolute URL includes protocol, host, path and name of the resource. 
For example: www.it_peoples.com/index.htm.

Relative URL: A relative URL is not fully complete but it inherits the protocol, host and path information from its parent document (the document file that links to it). Relative URLs are used to refer links on the same server as the page that contains them.

Most of the web pages are identified by relative URL where hyperlinks point to (last destination) documents and other files which are located on the same sites.
eg. link.htm

Note:- Some URLs refers to a location within a resource. Such kind of URL ends with "#" followed by an anchor identifier called the fragment identifier, for instance, http://somesite.com/html/top.html#section_2.

What is Hard Disk? Definition, functions and types.

In this article, you will know what is Hard Disk and what are these types? Hard disks are also often called Disk drive or "Hard Disk Drive (HDD)". Just as a library is required to handle books in the library, the same computer also needs a similar place in which it can store digital data .  Computers use two types of storage devices to store and process digital content (Document, Image, Videos, Software, Operating system, Program). In which Hard Disk is a secondary memory device. It keeps the data stored permanently. Whereas the primary memory device (RAM) serves to process the program of the computer . It is also called temporary memory. Hard Disk is seen as an important component of a computer because no computer will work without it. In this post we will tell you what is a hard disk in a computer ? In which you will get to know a lot about Hard Disk. So let's first know, what is called a hard disk and then we will talk about other aspects of it. What is hard disk

Unraveling the Mysteries of Quantum Computers: A Glimpse into the Future of Computing

In the realm of computer science, the concept of quantum computing stands as a beacon of unprecedented potential. Unlike classical computers that rely on bits to process information in binary form (0s and 1s), quantum computers harness the mind-bending principles of  quantum mechanics to manipulate quantum bits or qubits. This revolutionary approach holds the promise of solving complex problems at speeds that traditional computers could only dream of. Let's delve deeper into the enigmatic world of quantum computing. Understanding Quantum Computer: At the heart of quantum computing lies the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. Qubits possess the unique ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a phenomenon called superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform parallel computations on a scale unimaginable with classical computers. Furthermore, quantum computers leverage another principle of quantum mechanics known as entanglement. Entangle
