Tuesday, March 12, 2019 was the 30th anniversary of the world wide web. The World Wide Web was founded by Tim Berners-Lee who is a British computer scientist.

After graduating from Oxford University, When Berners-Lee, who initially interested in trains, became a software engineer at CERN, which stands for The European Organization for Nuclear Research, he discovers that scientists inside the building were having difficulty sharing information. So he come up with a solution: he laid out a proposal to CERN executives about the invention of the web, titled "Information Management: A proposal". The CERN executives are initially not that enthusiastic at first but Berners-Lee's top boss, Mike Sendall gave him time to work on it.

Throughout the next several months up until October 1990, Berners-Lee had written the three fundamental technologies formed the world wide web....and they still exist today. According to WebFoundation.org, the three technologies are:

HTML: HyperText Markup Language. - The markup (formatting) language for the web.
URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. - A kind of “address” that is unique and used to identify to each resource on the web. It is also commonly called a URL.
HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. - Allows for the retrieval of linked resources from across the web.

To put the final touches, Berners-Lee created first ever internet browser called "WorldWideWeb.app” and the first ever web server called “httpd“ and by the end of 1990, the first ever web page was published and on the following year, people were invited to join a new kind of a community: the internet community.

And that's how he created the World Wide Web.
