World's First Web Site

Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, KBE (TimBL or TBL) (born in London, England, June 8, 1955) is the inventor of the World Wide Web and the chairman of the World Wide Web Consortium, which regulate their development.

In 1980, when still a free contractor at CERN, Berners-Lee proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext (hypertext) to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. With help from Robert Cailliau he built a prototype system named Enquire.

After leaving CERN to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd, he returned in 1984 as a fellow researcher. He used similar ideas that he used in Enquire to create the World Wide Web, which he designed and built the first browser (called WorldWideWeb and developed on NeXTSTEP) and the first Web server called httpd.
