Tim Berners-Lee
     
         The man who invented the {World-Wide Web} while
        working at the Center for European Particle Research (CERN).
        Now Director of the {World-Wide Web Consortium}.
     
        Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford
        University, England, 1976.  Whilst there he built his first
        computer with a soldering iron, {TTL} gates, an {M6800}
        processor and an old television.
     
        He then went on to work for {Plessey Telecommunications}, and
        D.G. Nash Ltd (where he wrote software for intelligent
        printers and a {multi-tasking} {operating system}), before
        joining CERN, where he designed a program called 'Enquire',
        which was never published, but formed the conceptual basis for
        today's {World-Wide Web}.
     
        In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, and in 1989, he
        wrote the first {World-Wide Web} {server}, "{httpd}", and the
        first client, "WorldWideWeb" a {hypertext} browser/editor
        which ran under {NEXTSTEP}.  The program "WorldWideWeb" was
        first made available within CERN in December, and on the
        {Internet} as a whole in the summer of 1991.
     
        In 1994, Tim joined the {Laboratory for Computer Science}
        (LCS) at the {Massachusetts Institute of Technology} (MIT).
        In 1999, he became the first holder of the {3Com} Founders
        chair.  He is also the author of "Weaving the Web", on the
        past present and future of the Web.
     
        In 2001, Tim was made a fellow of The Royal Society.
     
        Tim is married to Nancy Carlson. They have two children, born
        1991 and 1994.
