The World Wide Web officially celebrated its 20th birthday as I began writing this book. In one sense, it’s hard to believe that the technology has been around this long already. At another level, it’s amazing how much has happened in that short time. When I started teaching and writing about the Internet (long before the Web was practical), none of us had any idea what it was going to turn into one day. If you’re reading this book, I don’t have to tell you that the Web is a big deal. It’s come a long way, and it’s doing very interesting things. What I want to show.
