of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991.Through 1991 and 1993, Tim continued working on the design of the Web, coordinating feedback from users across the Internet. His initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as the Web technology spread.In 1994, Tim joined the Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS)at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). to be Director of a W3 Consortium which coordinates W3 development worldwide, with teams at MIT, at INRIA in France, and at Keio University in Japan. The Consortium takes as it goal to lead the Web to its full potential, ensuring its stability through rapid evolution and revolutionary transformations of its usage. The Consortium my be found at http://www.w3.org/.Biography of Marc AndreessenMarc Andreessen did not invent the Web browser. Nor did he create the first browser with a graphical user interface. Andreessen's browser wasn't even the first to use pictures. Nevertheless, the Web wouldn't be where it is today without him. So what exactly did Andreessen do? He made the Web accessible to the masses. In 1993, as a 22-year-old undergraduate working for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Andreessen cowrote Mosaic with Eric Bina. As the first Web browser to combine pictures and text in the same window, Mosaic made Web pages look a lot more like printed material. Suddenly, this formerly obscure part of the Internet could appeal to a wide audience. Andreessen and Bina also made Mosaic much easier to install and use than other Web browsers, again appealing to a nontechnical audience. And Andre...
