Tim Berners-Lee was born in London (England). His parents, Conway Berners-Lee and Mary Lee Woods, were both mathematicians and worked on the creation of «Manchester Mark I», one of the first computers. Tim went to school in the city of Wandsworth Emanuel, then at King's College in Oxford. There he assembled his first computer with a processor M6800 with a TV as a monitor. Once Tim and his friend were caught during the hacker attack, during which they were deprived of the right to use university computers.After graduating from Oxford University in 1976, Berners-Lee joined the company «Plessey Telecommunications Ltd» in Dorset, where he worked for two years, working primarily distributed transaction systems.In 1978, Berners-Lee moved to the company «DG Nash Ltd», where he focused on software for printers, and created a semblance of multi-tasking operating system.Then he worked for half a year at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) software consultant. It was there that he wrote for their own needs program "Enkvayr" (eng. «Enquire», can be loosely translated as "Investigator"), which used random associations and laid the conceptual basis for the World Wide Web.From 1981 to 1984, Tim Berners-Lee worked for the company «Image Computer Systems Ltd» System Architect.In 1984 he received a scholarship at CERN and started there the development of distributed systems for the collection of scientific data. During this time he worked on the system «FASTBUS» and has developed its own system RPC (Eng. Remote Procedure Call, Remote Procedure Call).In 1989, while working at CERN on the internal system of exchange of documents ENQUIRE, Berners-Lee proposed a global hypertext project, now known as the World Wide Web. The project was approved and implemented.From 1991 to 1993, Tim Berners-Lee continued working on the World Wide Web. He collected feedback from users and coordinated the Web. He first proposed for public comment its first specification URI, HTTP and HTML.
