Internet begins it's history from 60's of the last century. First it was US government and education network of computers. Then government gave up the idea of global military computer network and let the universities to make everything they wanted with it. That's how this network began to grow. One by one universities joined that network so that students could access growing database of information from other education establishments and research facilities. Information exchange was the sense Internet was built.

Perhaps the single most important technological development in the history of the web, besides the creation of the web itself, was the development of graphical browsers in the early 90s. Beginning with NCSA's Mosaic and its evolution into Netscape's Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer, these programs allowed users to browse the resources on the web in an extremely user friendly environment.

World Wide Web is not exactly the Internet. Internet is wide term for representing network of computers located in different parts of the world and connected by different protocols. WWW is only a specific service of the Internet. As we mentioned different computers running different platforms must be connected to share information, files, emails, etc…How that may be achieved? Protocols are the means how all this variety may be controlled! There are many protocols on the Internet: File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and many others. But we will speak only about HTTP protocol and HTML( HyperText Markup Language) language - the main language of the WWW. Some people call it a programming language but that is not correct. HTML is much easier then most high level programming languages(like C++ or Visual Basic). It is simply a language to tell browser (the program you use to view websites) where text and graphic should be displayed. So let's start education and get some knowledge what HTML is all about!
