1. WEB

   Web is a computer programming system created by Donald E. Knuth as the first implementation of what he called "literate programming": the idea that one could create software as works of literature, by embedding source code inside descriptive text, rather than the reverse (as is common practice in most programming languages), in an order that is convenient for exposition to human readers, rather than in the order demanded by the compiler.Web consists of two secondary programs: TANGLE, which produces compilable Pascal code from the source texts, and WEAVE, which produces nicely-formatted, printable documentation using TeX. CWEB is a version of Web for the C programming language, while noweb is a separate literate programming tool, which is inspired by Web (as reflected in the name) and which is language agnostic. The most significant programs written in Web are TeX and Metafont. Modern TeX distributions use another program Web2C to convert Web source to C.

1. web

   Web is a term that refers to the World Wide Web (www), a system of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. It was created in 1989 by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee and is now used by billions of people to access information, communicate, conduct transactions, and much more. The web is the most widely used part of the internet which, contrary to common misconception, are not synonymous: the internet is a network of networks while the web is a service that operates over the internet.
