Answer 2

Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first Web clients and server and defined the URL, HTTP and HTML specifications in the NeXTStep environment at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory which is on the Swiss-French border near Geneva. (The acronym CERN comes from the earlier French title: "Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire") In 1989, he and Robert Cailliau proposed a global networked Hypertext project for High-Energy Physics collaborations to be known as the World Wide Web. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" was made available within CERN.
Tim Berners-Lee alone could not burst open the Internet pinata and give it to the world. As Richard Wiggins, author of Internet for Everyone: A Guide for Users and Providers, observes, "During 1992 and early 1993, graphical Gopher clients for the Macintosh and Windows evolved, and it appeared that Gopher would outstrip the fledgling Web." It was the ultimate broadband booster, Marc Andreessen, working with NCSA colleague Eric Bina, who ignited the Web rocket. One late December night in 1992 at the Espresso Royale cafe in Champaign-Urbana, Andreessen looked his friend Eric Bina in the eye and said: "Let's go for it."

Answer 3

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) was created by John "Tim" Berners-Lee while he worked at the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN. What's interesting is that Tim only intended his new creation to be a collection of tools that enhanced the sharing and collaboration of ongoing research among Berners-Lee and a group of his colleagues and not as a specification as it is used today.

As international and public internets grew and began to contact each other a "universal" langauge was needed. Tim's HTML rose to the occassion and was the first quasi-official language of the world wide web.
