00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,890
Hello and welcome back to another video, we actually have a couple of great videos coming up about

2
00:00:06,890 --> 00:00:11,810
the history of the Web, and you might be asking again, come on, let's get to coding.

3
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:18,560
But this is really important because we need to understand what problems we had in the past and how

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,890
we found solutions to those problems and where we are now.

5
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:27,590
We need to understand what this whole thing of being a web developer means and what problems we're solving

6
00:00:27,590 --> 00:00:29,900
and what we did in the past and what we do today.

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,140
So today we're going to talk about Tim Burners Lee, the person who invented the World Wide Web in nineteen

8
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:40,100
eighty nine, and I have a picture of him right here and we're going to talk about him because he's

9
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:41,660
the first web developer.

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,180
And in order to explain that concept, we need to make a distinction between the Internet and the World

11
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:47,660
Wide Web.

12
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:51,520
I have this Web site that I'll share in the links below.

13
00:00:51,530 --> 00:00:54,230
It's really, really good if you kind of want to get a history lesson.

14
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:59,900
But essentially the Internet started off with the ARPANET in nineteen sixty nine, basically a military

15
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:00,650
project.

16
00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:08,570
And as more of a test, it connected a few universities such as Utah, UCLA and throughout the 70s,

17
00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:11,570
the 80s, it kept growing.

18
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:16,790
But there was one problem that they had and that was essentially for the academics.

19
00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:19,910
They needed a way to share documents.

20
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:23,540
And up until with the World Wide Web existed, the Internet was there.

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,050
But it was really, really hard for computers to communicate with each other, to share academic papers

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,170
between each other.

23
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:34,250
Most of the time, each computer had their own way of doing things.

24
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:36,070
You can think of this as languages.

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,130
So it's kind of like communicating with people from different countries and a language that you don't

26
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:40,480
know.

27
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:44,100
Yeah, sure, you can make it work, but it's very, very difficult.

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,920
So that was the problem.

29
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:53,330
And Tim Berners Lee, what he did and he was working at CERN at the time, he actually created the World

30
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:53,900
Wide Web.

31
00:01:54,380 --> 00:02:01,640
And what the World Wide Web is, it's the WW that we see whenever we type in Google dot com or here

32
00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:08,330
is essentially a common language that computers can speak with the World Wide Web saying, hey, from

33
00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:13,430
now on, everybody, if we want to communicate together, if we want to share images or if you want

34
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:20,930
to share files, let's just have this agreed upon language, agreed upon protocol in order to share

35
00:02:20,930 --> 00:02:21,970
these documents together.

36
00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:23,360
So that's what it is.

37
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:30,080
The servers, the ASML access in JavaScript, the browser, all work on top of the World Wide Web.

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,230
So you can think of it as the Internet is your phone and the World Wide Web is Instagram that runs on

39
00:02:36,230 --> 00:02:36,590
your phone.

40
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:39,420
So it's essentially a decentralized application.

41
00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:42,800
Now, how is Tim Berners Lee, the first web developer?

42
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:47,180
He actually created the first browser and the first server.

43
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:52,010
And later on, we're actually going to talk about what he did with the files over here as well.

44
00:02:52,020 --> 00:03:00,050
But he created the very, very first server and Web browser, but also the first Web site, and they

45
00:03:00,050 --> 00:03:01,250
actually still have a copy of it.

46
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:03,950
This is the very first Web site ever.

47
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:12,580
And it's from 1991, and this is what it looked like, he created this ability for people to communicate

48
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:18,640
and link to other documents so that we have this growing knowledge base of the world.

49
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:24,820
In the next lesson, we're going to be talking about the history of these files, what they mean, what

50
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:27,170
problem they solved and how they came to be.

51
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:28,640
I'll see you in the next one.

52
00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:29,410
Bye bye.
