Biography
|
Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, KBE, (TimBL or TBL) (born June 8, 1955) is the inventor of the World Wide Web (along with Robert Cailliau) and head (president) of the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees its continued development.
Early life and career
Berners-Lee was born in London, England, the son of Conway Berners-Lee and Mary Lee Woods. His parents, both mathematicians, were employed together on the team that built the Manchester Mark I, one of the earliest computers. Berners-Lee attended Emanuel School in Wandsworth. He is an alumnus of the Queen's College of Oxford University, where he built a computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. He was also at Oxford where he was caught hacking with a friend and was subsequently banned from using the university computer.
He worked at Plessey Telecommunications Limited in 1976 as a programmer, and in 1978 he worked at D.G. Nash Limited where he worked on typesetting software and an operating system.
