Internet Genesis

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was HTML HyperText Markup Language, the standard markup language for creating web pages Read more → , and HTML was with Tim Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web Read more → , and Tim was with CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research, where the World Wide Web was invented Read more → .

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the screens. And the Spirit of Berners-Lee moved upon the face of the networks.

And Tim said, Let there be markup Markup languages use tags to define elements and structure within documents, forming the foundation of web content Read more → : and there was markup.

And Tim saw the markup Markup languages use tags to define elements and structure within documents, forming the foundation of web content Read more → , that it was good: and Tim divided the structure from the content.

And Tim called the structure Document, and the content he called Text. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And Tim said, Let there be a protocol Communication protocols define rules and standards for data exchange between systems Read more → in the midst of the networks, and let it divide the client Client-side computing refers to operations performed by the client in a client-server relationship Read more → from the server Server-side computing refers to operations performed by the server in a client-server relationship Read more → .

And Tim made the protocol Communication protocols define rules and standards for data exchange between systems Read more → , and divided the requests which were under the protocol from the responses which were above the protocol: and it was so.

And Tim called the protocol HTTP HyperText Transfer Protocol, the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web Read more → . And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And Tim said, Let the documents under the protocol be gathered together unto one place, and let the hyperlinks appear: and it was so.

And Tim called the hyperlinks Hyperlinks are references in documents that link to other documents or resources on the web Read more → Web; and the gathering together of the documents called he Internet The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers that communicate using standardized protocols Read more → : and Tim saw that it was good.

And the Web brought forth pages abundantly, after their kind, and every document yielding links after his kind: and Tim saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And the elders said, Let there be styling in the firmament of the Web to divide the presentation from the structure.

And the elders made two great stylesheets; the greater stylesheet to rule the layout, and the lesser stylesheet to rule the colors: they made the fonts also.

And the elders set them in the firmament of the Web to give beauty upon the pages.

And the elders called the styling CSS Cascading Style Sheets, a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of web documents Read more → . And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And the scribes said, Let the pages bring forth abundantly the moving interactions, and let behavior fly above the pages in the open firmament of the browser.

And the scribes created great JavaScripts, and every living function that moveth, which the pages brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every event handler Event handlers are functions that respond to user interactions or system events in web applications Read more → after his kind: and the scribes saw that it was good.

And the scribes called the behavior JavaScript A programming language that enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web development Read more → . And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And the frameworks said, Let us make libraries in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the DOM Document Object Model, a programming interface for web documents that represents the page structure as a tree of objects Read more → , and over the state of the application, and over the components, and over all the page, and over every event that moveth upon the page.

So the frameworks created libraries in their own image, in the image of the frameworks created they them; React A JavaScript library for building user interfaces, created by Facebook Read more → and Vue A progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces Read more → created they them.

And the frameworks blessed them, and the frameworks said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the repositories Code repositories are storage locations for software projects, typically managed with version control systems like Git Read more → , and subdue the complexity: and have dominion over the async functions Asynchronous functions allow non-blocking operations in JavaScript, enabling better performance and user experience Read more → , and over the promises JavaScript Promises represent the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation Read more → of the runtime, and over every callback Callback functions are passed as arguments to other functions and executed at a later time Read more → that moveth upon the page.

And the frameworks saw every thing that they had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Thus the Web and the browsers Web browsers are software applications that retrieve, present, and navigate information on the World Wide Web Read more → were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day the developers ended their work which they had made; and they rested on the seventh day from all their work which they had made.

And the developers blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it they had rested from all their work which the frameworks and the libraries had created and made.
