If you want to help the #Web keep track of its own history, the @w3c Web History #CommunityGroup collects valuable information such as software, documents, testimonials, etc. This group is open to all, so if you have a resource to share, please do so! w3.org/community/webhistory/

Now, wouldn't it be fun to get the original WorldWideWeb as a #WebAssembly compiled module in recent browsers? Is that even doable? Let us know! 🗣️

Last month, some of these brilliant developers/designers and others were asked to show how pages would look in WorldWideWeb by rebuilding its UI and rendering in HTML/CSS/JS. Anyone can play with it at worldwideweb.cern.ch/browser - try to open a URL! 😁worldwideweb.cern.ch/images/…

In 2013, @CERN convened 12 Web developers, designers, writers, standardistas, and technologists to rebuild the line-mode browser in the modern #browsers. Read the #MakingOf: line-mode.cern.ch/makingof/

If you feel nostalgic and want to browse old Web pages on a variety of virtual old #browsers, try oldweb.today/ - it includes WWW on NextStep - e.g. oldweb.today/WWW/w3.org/ The infrastructure behind that service itself is also on #github github.com/oldweb-today/netc…

The code of WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus, the world's first #WebBrowser, is on #github. This is a source import from 0.15 for NextStep.

The #Web was invented on 12 March 1989, but by the end of 1990, @timberners_lee had written the WorldWideWeb which was both a reader and an editor of Web pages
As you may know, today is the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web. Hooray! #Web30 #ForTheWeb So, let's look at a really important part of its history: Did you know, from the start, the very first web browser was designed to help you read *and write* the web? This is IMPORTANT.

Web is 30, I've been helping its evolution since 1995 at @w3c. I first started with CSS and PNG integration in Arena, then worked on HTTP., and currently on the @w3ctag. What a ride!
Thanks @timberners_lee for the vision and the goal of making the Web truly for all. #Web30

In 1990, I coded up the foundational technologies for the World Wide Web.

So.. I started a blog. I started trying to contrib on mailing lists. I saw a lot of good conversation coming from other developers. jQuery in particular, had folks like @wycats @paul_irish @addyosmani that I found myself agreeing with a lot. @slightlylate had interesting topics

TBH, I did not understand why it was so important to use standards (even if I was using them :) )... until I had a discussion with the IT team of a customer. #thread

.@dontcallmeDOM shared his story
Reflecting on my history with the Web as we celebrate #Web30 today; I think my first time on the Web was @Bpi_Pompidou around 1995 while researching a presentation on the Hipparcos satellite from @esascience sci.esa.int/hipparcos/

What are your stories of getting involved in #Web standards?

But part of it is also to understand how and why others came to be involved. @w3c has over the years had many different profiles involved for many different reasons: tech obviously, but also writers; musicians, linguists, philosophers, etc
