A Brief History of the World Wide Web, Part 1 By Universal Web Consulting, Universal Web Consulting
March, 2011
The development of the World Wide Web began in 1980 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, located in Switzerland. While working at CERN, Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist and engineer, created a simple hypertext program known as ENQUIRE, a system that connected CERN’s approximately 10,000 employees via profile and work pages. By the late 1980s, Berners-Lee recognized ENQUIRE’s global capabilities, such as sharing research, but realized the system needed to operate universally on many different machines. He proposed the idea of a hypertext database that used typed links and, after receiving encouragement from his supervisor, set to work on building what he had dubbed the World Wide Web.
In 1990, Berners-Lee finished the devices he would need to develop the Web, including the networking tool known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); the world’s first web browser, initially named WorldWideWeb; and the first web server. After collaborating with a colleague to establish a text browser that could operate on almost any computer, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web. The site contained web pages explaining the project and links to Usenet newsgroups and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites.
In 1991, software developer Paul Kunz of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) visited Berners-Lee at CERN and showed a strong interest in the World Wide Web. Bringing the necessary software back to the United States, Kunz helped develop an online catalogue used by SLAC that was hosted by the first web server used outside of Europe. Until the mid-1990s, early adopters of the web included university science departments and physics laboratories.

HyperText Markup Language, Universal Web Consulting
April, 2011
Universal Web Consulting’s online business education curriculum emphasizes proficiency in HyperText Markup Language, more commonly known as HTML. As the primary markup language, HTML script is one of the main components of modern web pages.
Web designers write HTML tags, which usually appear in pairs. The first of these is referred to as the start tag, and the second as the end tag. These pairs dictate how information will be interpreted and displayed. A computer’s web browser translates the HTML code into a viewable webpage. Using HTML, a web designer can create a page with text, images, video, audio, and even interactive elements that help provide the viewer in an enjoyable and interesting experience. A strong understanding of the requirements and capabilities of HTML allows Universal Web Consulting students to make their web pages function.
Developed over the last two decades, HTML dates back to 1991. The idea of creating a hypertext system for online content was suggested two years before, in 1989, and the language developed out of a single company’s research support system. This system allowed company researchers to draw from communal documents. Today, HTML has grown into one of the primary tool in the dispersion of information throughout the world.
