Detailed explanation-1: -Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN . The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -On April 30, 1993, four years after publishing a proposal for “an idea of linked information systems, ” computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee released the source code for the world’s first web browser and editor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The beginning of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet arrived on August 6, 1991, when Berners-Lee published the first-ever website. Fittingly, the site was about the World Wide Web project, describing the Web and how to use it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first web browser-or browser-editor rather-was called WorldWideWeb as, after all, when it was written in 1990 it was the only way to see the web. Much later it was renamed Nexus in order to save confusion between the program and the abstract information space (which is now spelled World Wide Web with spaces).
