Web Development

In the 1980’s, most of the people accessing the Internet were scientists and researchers. In the early 1990s, many companies started to offer access to home users. This allowed anyone with a modem and a computer to access the internet.

The World Wide Web was created in the early 1990’s by the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. The goal of the World Wide Web was to allow researchers to work together on projects and to make project information easily accessible. The first publicly accessible Web site was created in 1991.
