World's First Website - CERN.ch developed by Tim Berners-Lee

CERN is the the European Organization for Nuclear Research. CERN is an acronym for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Council for Nuclear Research ). CERN operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world.CERN was founded in September 29, 1954.The WWW(World Wide Web) was first implemented in CERN. The main function of the CERN is to provide the particle accelerators and infrastructure needed for High energy physics research. In 1992, Physics Nobel Prize for was awarded to CERN staff researcher “ Georges Charpak " for his invention of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber."

The History Of thw World Wide Web Also linked to The CERN. The CERN project named “ ENQUIRE “, was the Beginning of ” World Wide Web “ initiated by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and Robert Cailliau in 1990. Prior to the Web's development, CERN had pioneered the introduction of Internet technology, beginning in the early 1980s.

Reason For Developing World's First Website CERN.ch by Tim Berners-Lee

The CERN.ch actually the Web was originally developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the whole world in a very fast and effective manner. The first website CERN.ch at CERN  and also in the world  was dedicated to the WWW project “ ENQUIRE ” and was hosted on Berners-Lee's computer running on the NeXT STEP operating system. CERN.ch described the basic features of the web, like: how to access other people's documents and how to set up your own server. Tim Berners-Lee’s  NeXT machine - the original web server , is still at CERN. As part of the project to restore the first website, in 2013 CERN reinstated the world's first website to its original address.

How the CERN.ch looks like at first

WebSite View info.CERN.ch

CERN started a  project to restore the first website , and in 2013 CERN reinstated the world's first website to its original address. This aims to preserve some of the digital assets that are associated/linked with the birth of the web.For a start they restored the first URL - put back the files that were there at their earliest possible iterations. Then they look at the first web servers at CERN and see what assets from them they can preserve and share. They will also shift through documentation and try to restore machine names and IP addresses to their original state. Beyond this they want to make http://info.cern.ch - the first web address - a destination that reflects the story of the beginnings of the web and that also benefit the future generations.

About Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee 

Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee also known as TimBl is an English Computer Scientist and also an Inventor of World Wide Web (www). He made a proposal for an information management system and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet. Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

"I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the Transmission Control Protocol and domain name system ideas and—ta-da!—the World Wide Web ... Creating the web was really an act of desperation, because the situation without it was very difficult when I was working at CERN later. Most of the technology involved in the web, like the hypertext, like the Internet, multifont text objects, had all been designed already. I just had to put them together. It was a step of generalising, going to a higher level of abstraction, thinking about all the documentation systems out there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary documentation system.” -Tim Berners-Lee
