Inhaltsangabe

In the mid-1970s, the personal computer began to
completely revolutionise the world of information technology,
creating a unique opportunity for those of us in that industry to
invent a different type of computing experience.

Over the next twenty years this innovative new world of personal
computing was constructed. New applications were being invented
for the first time – and were being widely welcomed.

By the mid-90s, the basic applications of personal computing had
been determined, the internet and the World Wide Web had been
established, enabling what we now recognise as the environment
of modern communications and information publishing.

This book describes these 20 years when today’s information
world was being invented for the first time; from the perspective
of the developers of online interactive documents, hypertext,
the technology on which the World Wide Web is based.

The World Wide Web has now become the platform on
which the modern information world is built: communications,
publishing, commerce, and broadcasting are all enabled by this
revolutionary technology.

The Web before the Web describes our part in pioneering hypertext,
the technology behind this phenomenon.
