How We Got Here - The History of Web Development

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Traces the web from Tim Berners-Lee’s first web server on a NeXT at CERN to Mosaic/Netscape’s rapid adoption (5 million users out of ~20 million online) and the shock of the Netscape IPO that fuels the dot‑com boom. Names key turning points: SSL/TLS early work, Apache vs IIS, LAMP and Rails rapid iteration, IE5’s XMLHTTP/Ajax, AWS launching cloud services in 2006, Chrome in 2008, HTML5 (2014), and WebAssembly runs C# prototypes that make browsers full application platforms.
