Introduction
Tim Berners-Lee

• 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.

• He is the co-founder and CTO of Intrupt.com, a tech start-up which uses,

promotes and helps develop the open source Solid platform. Solid aims
to give people control and agency over their data, questioning many
assumptions about how the web has to work.
What is CERN?

• The European Organization for Nuclear Research

known as CERN.
• it is a European research organization that operates the
largest particle physics laboratory in the world.\
IONOSPHERE

• IONOSPHERE - is the ionized part of Earth’s upper atmosphere,

from about 60 km (37 mi) to 1,000 km (620 mi) altitude, a region
that includes the thermosphere and parts of
the mesosphere and exosphere.
• is ionized by solar radiation
History of Web Design

The start of the web and web design

• In 1989, whilst working at CERN Tim Berners-Lee proposed to create a
global hypertext project, which later became known as the World Wide Web
(www). During 1991 to 1993 the World Wide Web was born.
History of Web Design

• In 1993 Marc Andreesen and Eric Bina, created the Mosaic Browser.
At the time there were multiple browsers, however the majority
of them were Unix-based and naturally text heavy.
History of Web Design

• In 1996, Microsoft released its first competitive browser, which

was complete with its own features and HTML tags. It was also the
first browser to support style sheets, which at the time was seen
as an obscure authoring technique and is today an important
aspect of web design.
What is Web Design?

Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the

production and maintenance of websites.

Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and

if their role involves creating markup then they are also expected to
be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
What is E-Commerce

To many people, the term “electronic commerce” means shopping

on the part of the Internet called the World Wide Web. However,
electronic commerce or e-commerce also includes many other
