  • Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML) - CERN

    Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML) - CERN
    The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research. HTML is the standard markup language used to create web pages. Along with CSS, and JavaScript, HTML is a cornerstone technology used to create web pages, as well as to create user interfaces for mobile and web applications. It was invented by Tim Burners-Lee a scientist who worked at CERN, Switzerland.

  • World Wide Web (WWW)

    World Wide Web (WWW)
    The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.[1] HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.

  • Web 2.0

    Web 2.0
    Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites that emphasize user-generated content, usability, and interoperability. The term was popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004, though it was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999. A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue.
