I got involved with the Web in 1992 as part of work I was doing at Hewlett-Packard’s corporate laboratories on a graphical hypertext-based application for creating quotes on HP computer systems. Tim Berners-Lee’s original vision for the Web focused on documents and their interrelationships, but it was soon clear that the future lay in a Web of applications. The Web has since become the world’s most successful vendor-independent open application platform.
