20th anniversary of WWW

Hi everyone,

Many anniversaries... maybe due to spring many innovations accur in April, unless I'm becoming nostalgic! Should be the number of years on my shoulders!

-> 20e anniversaire du Web : le premier site restauré
A l'occasion du 20e anniversaire du Web, le Cern a reconstitué le premier site web public lancé par l'équipe de recherche de Tim Berners-Lee. Son objectif ? Permettre à tout un chacun de se lancer dans l'aventure.

April 30, 1993...

Who knew the WWW was created by a Brit in Geneva?

On March 18 2013, Tim, along with Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn, Louis Pouzin and Marc Andreesen, was awarded the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for "ground-breaking innovation in engineering that has been of global benefit to humanity."

Below are 2 bios:

Hi,

I don't know what JDN did with the URL, it led to an error.

Here is the 1st web site ever -> http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

~~ edit
Weird!
Here's my URL -> http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Status.html
How many 1st Web sites? LOL

Hi everyone,

ZDnet also published on the subject:

-> Il y a 20 ans, le CERN libérait le Web
Le 30 avril 1993, le CERN offrait au domaine public la technologie world wide web et les applications permettant de développer des sites Web. Et mettait en ligne le premier site en www.

Again, the 1st Web site -> http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Status.html

2 short comments of my own:
- Tim Berners-Lee worked for the CERN-Centre Européen de la Recherche Nucléaire and April 30, 1993 is the date when they made the technology public
- except the rules regarding the content of web pages which were adapted, most features were designed in this period.
WTG Sir!
