ACN112Act3 the web browser

1. What is the Web Browser?? And how does it work??
= A Web browser is a software program that interprets the coding language of the World Wide Web in graphic form, displaying the translation rather than the coding. This allows anyone to browse the Web by simple point and click navigation, bypassing the need to know commands used in software languages..
And it works to program the or to interpret, and to display the translation of how to code an any language of the world..

2. What is bookmark??
= Is a page keeper. A reader inserts a bookmark into the pages of a book when he or she stops reading. This way when it's time to read again, the reader can open the pages where the bookmark is to find the place in the book where he or she left off at rather than trying to remember the page number. Bookmarks save having to flip through the book and read sentences trying to find the exact place to re-start reading the book. A bookmark can be made from many different materials from a simple piece of cardboard to a specially made plastic clip to an ornately embellished fabric creation. Bookmarks may be mass produced and sold in stores or may be hand made.

3. What is the purpose of a web [browser] cache?

Web caching can help organizations increase responsiveness of web applications and save bandwidth costs.

4. What is a web [browser] plugin?
=  Is used as a mechanism to get new people using a squeakland. In general, the browser plugin allows you to insert Squeaky interfaces into the middle of web pages, the same way that Java applets can be. Thus they smooth the transition from klunky, static web pages into the dynamic world of Squeak.
