萬維網之父

Father of World Wide Web

Tim Berners Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web.

Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s， scientists were already using a primitive version of E-mail. While working at a laboratory in Switzerland Tim Berners Lee wrote a programme which let him store these messages. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML programmes which form the basis of the World Wide Web.

The next year his programmes were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100，000.

In 1994 Tim Berners Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can participate equally on the Web.

蒂姆·伯納斯·李寫的軟件程序奠定了萬維網的基礎。

在發展第一代電腦中，英國發揮了重要作用。蒂姆·伯納斯·李的父母都為最早的商業電腦公司工作，他們常在家里談論工作。還是孩子的時候，蒂姆·伯納斯·李就會用材料建立計算機模型。從牛津大學畢業后，他就開始真正著手關于電腦方面的東西。在20世紀80年代，科學家們已經使用了原始版本的電子郵件。當在瑞士一個實驗室工作時，蒂姆·伯納斯·李寫了一個程序，有了這個程序他就能保存這些消息。1990年他寫的超文本傳送協議和超文本標記語言的程序構成了萬維網的基礎。

第二年，他的程序被放置到互聯網上，每個人都可以使用并能夠改善這些程序。程序員使用他的編碼與不同的操作系統工作。網頁瀏覽器和搜索引擎被開發出來。在1991年到1994年，網頁數量從10個上升到10萬個。

1994年，蒂姆·伯納斯·李成立了新的世界萬維網聯盟協會或稱W3C。W3C代表200多家領先公司和實驗室。他們共同確保每個人都能平等地參與網絡。
