Tim Berners-Lee working at the Center for European Particle Research (CERN). Now Director of the {World-Wide Web Consortium}. Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976. Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, {TTL} gates, an {M6800} processor and an old television. He then went on to work for {Plessey Telecommunications}, and D.G. Nash Ltd (where he wrote software for intelligent printers and a {multi-tasking} {operating system}), before joining CERN, where he designed a program called 'Enquire', which was never published, but formed the conceptual basis for today's {World-Wide Web}. In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, and in 1989, he wrote the first {World-Wide Web} {server}, "{httpd}", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a {hypertext} browser/editor which ran under {NEXTSTEP}. The program "WorldWideWeb" was first made available within CERN in December, and on the {Internet} as a whole in the summer of 1991. In 1994, Tim joined the {Laboratory for Computer Science} (LCS) at the {Massachusetts Institute of Technology} (MIT). In 1999, he became the first holder of the {3Com} Founders chair.
