To be honest, even though I am a software developer, I have to say I am still kind of ignorant about the history and the background to the industry. But I am trying to expand my knowledge (esp now that I'm working in the industry) hehe reading more news about the web, technology and the computing world.
In particular I came across 2 piece of news articles this week which definitely deserve to be mentioned in my blog!!!
News #1: Web inventor gets Queen's honour
In particular being a web developer how can I NOT KNOW about the person who invented the wonderful world of WWW!!!! : O (Otherwise I wouldn't even have a job right now!! hehe) Yeah...I'm ashamed of myself!!! ><" Admittedly thanks to Sir Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the web....yeah I was attracted by the 'dot com' hype during the 90s....and hence eventually studied the programming in varsity and working now as a web developer!!! So congratulations to Sir Tim Berners-Lee for receiving the Order of Merit!!! Yeah he deserves it!!!!! : ) See the CNN Article: Web inventor gets Queen's honour
