| How the first website appeared about 30 years ago |
The Internet reminds us of the first website in history, which happened in August 1991. It was created by Tim Berners Lee, founder of the web.
The story began with Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 when he was a software developer at CERN. Although the organization's field of work is very sensitive, researchers have encountered difficulties in the flow of documents and information.
The files that researchers rely on are available in different formats and processed in different programming languages and multiple platforms.
Therefore, Tim Berners-Lee developed a way to share these files in a format that is readable on all devices. This invention was registered in his name in 1898. It is the World Wide Web, and the well-known abbreviation is WWW.
Create first website
After recording his genius invention in 1989, the internet inventor succeeded in writing the first web browser in 1990. This browser was originally called WorldWideWeb.app. It is based on the httpd protocol.
In the early days of the web, it was used and developed internally at CERN. Then the first website was created and launched on December 20, 1990. But after 21 days, the website was launched outside the CERN network for the first time.
Since Tim Berners-Lee primarily works at CERN, the first site is primarily for scientists.
He invited physicists to participate in the WWW project so that they could find information, news, documents, etc.
Little did Tim Berners-Lee know that his invention was good for all of humanity. And what he did was a turning point for the whole world, not just for the physicist. Later, Tim Berners-Lee (Tim Berners-Lee) began providing detailed explanations and documentation about the web and how it works.
At that time, the first public website was launched on the World Wide Web. It is still available today and can be viewed. However, this version was registered in 1992 and the first internally introduced version was lost in December 1990.
It shows how easy it is to get your first website. In addition, it consists only of pages linked together by hypertext links. It's like a simple website created by kids in school.
CERN maintains a copy of the first web browser to this day. You can click here to try it out in your browser.
After Tim Berners-Lee made the web available to everyone in 1991, his invention became popular. The defining event in Internet history, however, was when CERN announced the invention to the public; NS. Anyone can use it or develop it.
