Html History

The World Wide Web began life in the place where you would least expect it: at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. CERN is a meeting place for physicists from all over the world, where highly abstract and conceptual thinkers engage in the contemplation of complex atomic phenomena that occur on a minuscule scale in time and space. This is indeed a surprising place for the beginnings of a technology that would, eventually, deliver everything from tourist information, online shopping and advertisements, financial data, weather forecasts, and much more to your personal computer.

In other words, there could be cross-references from one research paper to another. This would mean that while reading one research paper, you could quickly display part of another paper that holds directly relevant text or diagrams. Documentation of a scientific and mathematical nature would thus be represented as a `web’ of information held in electronic form on computers across the world. This, Tim thought, could be done by using some form of hypertext—some way of linking documents together by using buttons on the screen, which you simply clicked on to jump from one paper to another. Before coming to CERN, Tim had already worked on document production and text processing and had developed his first hypertext system, `Enquire’, in 1980 for his own personal use.

Tim’s prototype Web browser on the NeXT computer came out in 1990.

Bootstrap for beginners

  Bootstrap for beginners You’ve definitely heard of this helpful resource for simpler page styles if you’ve found yourself here. Perhaps you have given it a shot on your own and found that you really don’t like it, at which point you started asking, “Why the hell do people say that it’s way easier to apply Bootstrap?” What is Bootstrap? Bootstrap is an open-source software package that can be used to build mobile-friendly websites and applications. It is the most widely used framework for creating mobile-friendly webpages with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The issue of incompatibility between browsers is just one of several that it fixes. These days, websites work faultlessly across desktop, tablet, phablet, and mobile phone browsers and displays of all sizes. Bootstrap’s creators, Twitter’s Mark Otto, and Jacob Thornton, deserve all the credit. Responsive Marketed as “One framework, all devices,” Bootstrap aims to be universal in its applicability. The reason for this is th...

History of the web browser

  History of the web browser In 1950, computers took up whole rooms and were dumber than today’s pocket calculators. But progress was swift, and by 1960, they were able to run complex programs. Governments and universities across the globe thought it would be great if the machines could talk, nurturing collaboration and scientific breakthroughs. ARPANET was the first successful networking project, and in 1969, the first message was sent from the computer science lab at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), also in California. British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web server and graphical web browser in 1990 while working at CERN , the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland. WorldWideWeb was the name he gave to his new internet browser. The NeXT computer provided a simple graphical user interface. The World Wide Web was the first public network on which text content could be lin...
