"British change the world" - World Wide Web inventor Tim John Berners-Lee
(Posted in "Programmer" Magazine) Getting up in the morning, soaking a cup of coffee, open the browser before sitting in the computer to see the news - this is a routine business in many people. When we are intoxicated between the links, if you have jumped, whether it is once curious: Who is this smart information release method? When we quickly put this "boring" problem, the respectable inventors still continue to work hard for WWW's future. However, he is not alone, but leads the entire W3C.
He is the inventor of Tim John Berners-Lee, World Wide Web.
TIM was born in London, England, June 8, 1955. When he studied in Oxford University Queen, he used M6800 processor and old TV himself. After graduating from 1976, he was employed in the Plessey Telecommunications Ltd, D.G Nash Ltd. In D.G Nash, TIM has written a multi-task operating system, but it is really opening the door, but it is after working in Cern.
Cern (EUROPEAN Particle Physics Laboratory, Sub-Physics Research), located in Geneva, Switzerland. There, in order to work, Tim wrote a tool enquire that never released - this unpognracted enquire, is the prototype of World Wide Web. However, after this, Tim went to the development of real-time control firmware in John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. In 1984, when TIM got a scholarship, he returned to CERN to study the real-time system, he gradually found that the internal communication mechanism of the CERN has a malpractice. Today we can find the first open document on the WWW concept, which is a Recommendation of TIM written to CERN in March 1989: Information Management: a proposal. In this document, TIM proposes to use Hypertext to construct a link information system. Similarly, we can also see the initial proposal of "Browser" concept from the file.
At this time, TIM has begun on the basis of Enquire, based on the NEXTSTEP system development first real web server - httpd, the first client browser - WorldwideWeb, and then established in 1991 and opened the first one WWW website http://info.cern.ch/ (The site is still the official site of Cern). By 1993, TIM made persistent efforts to develop the first specification of URI, HTTP, HTML, etc.
In 1994, TIM added to LCS (Computer Science Laboratory) in Massachusetts University. In order to let World Wide Web are not controlled by a few people, TIM organizations set up World Wide Web Consortium, which is usually said to "boot the maximum potential". All versions of the HTML agreement we are well known are from the W3C meeting. Vurable, W3C's HTML specification is published in the form of "suggestions" and does not force any vendors or individuals. As for Microsoft's open expansion of the HTML protocol, defeat Netscape, which should be Netscape, which should be the TIM.
"Time" magazine wrote this in the evaluation of Tim's contribution - "The invention should be attributed to one person ... Berners-lee designed World Wide Web, and then open it to the world He has worked more effort than anyone else to keep WWW openness, non-profit and freedom ... It is difficult to make appropriate evaluation for WWW, it is almost comparable to Turden printed. Berners-Lee handle only elites We mastered the communication system to become a mass media. "This passage is really not a beautiful word. Eric Schmidt has also said: "If the computer network is a traditional science, Berners-Lee will get a Nobel award." I think Tim people will not care about this. When he dedicated to the world's greatest media world, he was prepared to have a pair of white wings. Tim Berners-Lee is a very high creative programmer, but it is a noble body of the gun.
In the "Weaving THE Web" book, TIM puts three views:
◎ Editing Web is as important as browsing the web, Wiki is a step to step out to the correct direction. ◎ Any expression of the Internet should be a mesh, not a tree structure. Domain name system exception. ◎ Computer scientists have unneasable responsibilities in the technical level and morality.
Maybe we can benefit from these arguments, maybe it is just a nonsense. In any case, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and continued to contribute to it. This is enough.
