The History of Internet, World Wide Web, HTML, Java, Java Script and DHTML

In the sixties the US Department of Defence gives an order to develop a save computer network. In 1969 the ARPA-Net is in use by military and scientists in the USA.
In the seventies the TCP/IP network protocol is created. In the eighties the Milnet is separated from the Internet. In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee invents HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) at the European Nuclear Research Centre CERN in Genf.
In the World Wide Web text-, graphic- and audio-files are connected with Hyper-Links. In 1993 Mosaic the first browser for PCs is written by Marc Andreessen. 1994 is the year in which the first version of Netscape Navigator appears.

The first browser, which can execute Java programs (applets), is WebRunner by SUN. Netscape licenses Java from SUN and brings in 1995 the Navigator 2.0 out, the first browser with a JavaScript-interpreter. In 1996 the Netscape Navigator 3 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 as well as JDK 1.0 (Java-Development-Kit) by SUN are introduced.
The platform independent programming language Java, which is useful to develop applications under different operation systems on the one hand and for programming internet applets on the other hand, is now obtainable as Visual Cafe by Symantec and Visual J++ by Microsoft.
JavaScript and JScript can be supplied as source code to HTML-files. Together with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and Layers HTML-sites become now dynamic (DHTML).
