WWW = Wide World Web

== Technology evolution ==
*1991 '''HTML 1.0''' and ViolaWWW appears by Tim Barners-Lee, working at CERN
*1994 '''W3C (WWW Consortium)''' is created by Tim Barners-Lee to standardize web languages.
*1995 '''JavaScript''' (client-side programming language) appears in Netscape
*1996 '''JScript''' appears in IE as a response to JavaScript
*:'''CSS''' level 1 appears (by W3C)
*1997 '''HTML 4.0''' appears (still working in the 4.01 strict version)
*1999 The term Web 2.0 appears
*2000 ISO HTML = HTML 4.01 strict, and XHTML 1.0 appears
*2004 Tim O'Reilly defines '''Web 2.0 as "Web as platform"'''
*2005 '''AJAX''' term appears (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
*After 2010: Web 3.0 as...?
**Semantic web
**Computers generate content
**Metaverse: virtual and real world converge, augmented reality (SecondLife, etc.)

To summarize, we can say that the evolution have been really quick in the first 6 years with the introduction of client-side technologies (JavaScript, ActiveX) and the 4 version of HTML until 4.0 in 1997.
From that year on, the evolution has been improving this technologies as the client-side machines has become more powerful.


== Browsers ==
The evolution of the WWW is strongly related to the evolution of the web browsers, beginning with the ViolaWWW as the first one, and following with the "war of browsers" between Netscape and MS Internet Explorer.

*1991 ViolaWWW
*1992 Mosaic
*1994 Netscape Navigator: CISCO systems
*1995 Microsoft Internet Explorer: Microsoft
*1996 Opera
*1998 Mozilla Internet Suite: Mozilla project replaces the Netscape project, Netscape becomes open!
*2003 Safari: Mac OS
*2004 Firefox: the latest trasformation of Netscape/Mozilla
*2008 Google Chrome (and Chromium as the open version)


=== Browser War ===
After the release of MS IE, a war between the two "mounsters" appears for the ''share'' of the browser market. New versions with lots of new features appeared at a really high rythm. As a consequence, the characteristics of this have been:

#Adding new features instead of fixing bugs
#Adding proprietary features instead of obeying standards
#Inadvertently creating security loopholes
