Web development - Who and when?

  World Wide Web (WWW) was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in March 1989. Tim was a British scientist working in CERN. The first purpose of the Web was to share information between scientists in universities across the world. In November 1990 Tim collaborated with a Belgian engineer named Robert Cailliau to create a second proposal, later named management proposal. This defined critical terms and key concepts behind the Web. He improved the code for this invention on the NeXT computer by the end of 1990 (A short history of the Web | CERN, n.d.).
