Share: Domain Name

A domain name is a website URL, is the address, is your website name where Internet users can find and visit your website. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is difficult for people to remember. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.
 
A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various extensions, such as .com, .net and more.
 
The domain name must be registered before you can use it. Every domain name is unique. If someone types in www.yourdomain.com, it will and only go to your website.
 
Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.
 
"Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains: com, info, net, edu, and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users." - Wiki
 
The top-level domains (TLDs) such as com, net and org are the highest level. Top-level domains form the DNS root zone of the hierarchical Domain Name System. Every domain name ends with a top-level domain label. 
 
Below the top-level domains in the domain name hierarchy are the second-level domain (SLD) names. These are the names directly to the left of .com, .net, and the other top-level domains. As an example, in the domain sample.co.us, co is the second-level domain.
 
Next are third-level domains, which are written immediately to the left of a second-level domain. There can be fourth- and fifth-level domains, and so on, with virtually no limitation. Each label is separated by a full stop (dot).

Share: Programming Languages

Programming languages are essential tools that enable humans to communicate with computers, instructing them to perform specific tasks. These languages serve as a bridge between human understanding and machine execution, allowing developers to create a wide range of software applications. In this comprehensive overview, we'll explore the history, types, and characteristics of programming languages. History of Programming Languages: The history of programming languages can be traced back to the mid-19th century, with the development of early mechanical computers. Ada Lovelace, often regarded as the world's first programmer, wrote algorithms for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1840s. However, the true evolution of programming languages gained momentum in the 20th century. 1. Machine Code and Assembly Language: The earliest "programming" involved manually toggling switches or setting wires on early computers to input binary instructions directly. As techno

Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash. Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be rep

Share: Phonetic Alphabet

The phonetic alphabet is a list of 26 words, for each letter of the alphabet. Each word represents the letter that it begins with. The phonetic alphabet is often used to clear up any misunderstanding over the pronunciation of letters, e.g. a “M” for a “N” or a “B” for a “P”. In certain countries, there is no standard phonetic alphabet. Instead, contact centres often use names and cities to identify letters, e.g. A - Adam, B - Boy, C - China, etc. Notes: * First introduced by NATO in 1955. * The NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Phonetic Alphabet is currently officially denoted as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet (IRSA) or the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) phonetic alphabet or ITU (International Telecommunication Union) phonetic alphabet. * The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is also known as telephone alphabet, radio alphabet, word-spelling alphabet, or voice procedure alphabet.
