If you can read this review (and voice your opinion about his book on Amazon.com), you have Tim Berners-Lee to thank. When you've read his no-nonsense account of how he invented the World Wide Web, you'll want to thank him again, for the sheer coolness of his ideas. One day in 1980, Berners-Lee, an Oxford-trained computer consultant, got a random thought: "Suppose all the information stored on computers everywhere were linked?" So he created a system to give every "page" on a computer a standard address (now called a URL, or Universal Resource Locator), accessible via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), formatted with the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and visible with the first browser, which did the trick of linking us all up.
He may be the most self-effacing genius of the computer age, and his egalitarian mind is evident in the names he rejected for his invention: "I thought of Mine of Information, or MOI, but moi in French means 'me,' and that was too egocentric.... The Information Mine (TIM) was even more egocentric!" Also, a mine is a passive repository; the Web is something that grows inexorably from everyone's contributions. Berners-Lee fully credits the colorful characters who helped him get the bobsled of progress going--one colleague times his haircuts to match the solstices--but he's stubbornly independent-minded. His quest is to make the Web "a place where the whim of a human being and the reasoning of a machine coexist in an ideal, powerful mixture."
Hard-core tech types may wish Berners-Lee had gone into deeper detail about the road ahead: the "boon and threat" of XML, free vs. commercial software, VRML 3-D imaging, and such. But he wants everyone in on the debate, so he wrote a brisk book that virtually anyone can understand. --Tim Appelo -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
He doesn't have the stature, the name recognition, or the billions of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but modest, intelligent, capable Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and now directs the MIT-based consortium that helps define protocol, make recommendations, and "lead the Web to its full potential." He straightforwardly recounts the Web's origins, beginning with his late-'80s work in Switzerland, where he conceived a cross-platform program for sharing documents. Key to establishing such a program were agreed-upon protocols that would allow decentralization yet be compatible with Unix, NeXT, and, later, Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Berners-Lee developed URL, HTTP, and HTML--protocols instrumental in the success of the Web--and by Christmas 1990, his invention went live. Not until the February 1993 release of Mosaic, the first widely distributed Web browser, however, did the Web become a sensation. Next, Netscape and Microsoft entered the fray, and the rest is history. Like an evangelist, Berners-Lee preaches the Web's capability for changing the world even more than it already has.

Weaving the Web is a book written by the Web's creator "Tim Berners Lee". The book is divided in three main part. The evolution of the Web, the moral behind the Web, and the future of the Web. The special thing about the book is that you can read it as a technical book, and you can read it as a moral book. After reading some pages in the book, i had chosen to read it morally.
The book has only 209 pages, but you learn very much about the Web by reading it. I think it should be morally obliged for every web creator, and everyone that concerns the Web, to read the book. In the book he speaks about how the Web evolved, what its potential is, and what his personal vision about the Web is. It's a amusing book to read in that way. The moral behind the Web.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Weaving The Web is a wonderful blending of three distinct subjects: the history of the World Wide Web, an astute analysis of the web's "current" state, that is, where it stands in the middle of 1999, and where it's founder believes and thinks it is headed. It is difficult to believe the accuracy of Berners-Lee's vision of what the web could be in the time that the web was just a dream, and how he worked to achieve it. He also dispels the common belief that he either disdains the accumulation of wealth that could have been his had he chosen a different path, or that he envies those individuals who have made millions (or billions) by building on the web's humble beginnings. He also does not begrudge the commercialization over the web, as many academics did at the time when the web was viewed primarily as a medium for the free sharing of ideas and information.
Berners-Lee talks in depth about the social implications of technology, and indeed the World Wide Web is a social beast as much as it is a technological one. He does separate, however, the duties of bodies like the W3C whose sole purpose is to facilitate and strengthen the standards and protocols that are providing new richness and robustness to the web. This is clearly highlighted in his discussion of PICS, which allows for creation of rules that can facilitate filtering of objectionable material on the web. Berners-Lee makes the clear distinction between those who create the PICS technology, and those who decide how it will be implemented.
It is evident from this book that Berners-Lee is far from finished in his duties. While not as radical as the initial concept of the World-Wide Web must have been in its time, his discussion of security, privacy, and collaboration and how they can and should be implemented on the web should be read by anyone who wants to be a player in Cyberspace. Berners-Lee does not hold a monopoly on great ideas for the web, but he clearly has a grasp on the balance and understanding of both the technology as well as its place in society that others would be well served to strive for.
Format:Taschenbuch
Tim Berners-Lee schildert, wie es zum World Wide Web kam. Das Web war so, wie es jetzt ist, nie geplant und sicher nicht vorhersehbar. Aber die Erfindung von Berners-Lee hat vermutlich den größten Einfluß auf unser Leben gehabt, den wir in den letzten Jahrzehnten erfahren haben. Unbedingt lesenswert, für historisch und technisch Interessierte, aber auch für alle anderen, die sich nicht vorstellen können, wie das Leben vor dem Internet aussah.

Excellent review of the history of the Web. The book is most helpful however when looking at Berner-Lees' vision of what the Web can be and why we want to get there.
