The fascinating story of Tim Berners-Lee and the invention of the web. In 1989, when Tim first proposed the idea that would become the WWW, a new set of standards called TCP/IP were being developed which allowed previously isolated computer networks to talk to each other. This synergy between an open networking standard and Tim's hypertext system led to the web as we know it today!
In 2001, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, published an article in Scientific American. Since its introduction only a decade before, the web had fast become the world's best means for sharing documents with other people. Now, the web would evolve to encompass not just documents but every kind of data one could imagine.
The relational model was introduced in 1970. Edgar Codd, a researcher at IBM, published a paper called "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks." The paper is unassuming; Codd only claims to have employed a novel tool (the mathematical notion of a "relation") to address some of the inadequacies of the prevailing database models.
The Altair 8800 was a build-it-yourself home computer kit released in 1975. The Altair was basically the first personal computer, though it predated the advent of that term by several years.
We take a look at the history of Ruby. How and why it was started by a recent college grad, Yukihiro Matsumoto in 1993. How it moved from Japan to rest of the world to become wildly popular language we know of today.
