This year, both me and the web are turning 20.
The invetor of the web is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who changed the world, and because of who you are reading this text and any other resource on the web.
The first ever web server in the world was located in CERN on URL: http://info.cern.ch
The original purpose of the web was to organize and provide all the information in CERN.
I have read the book “Weaving the web”, written by Tim Bareners-Lee and I found a lot of aspects of Tim’s life the same as me..
Both me and the web have changed for the last years.
While in the past a webmaster publicated information for their users, now in the modern web (web 2.0) the users themself are creating information for the other users.
What has changed with me?
Well, pretty much… everything!
Starting from country, way of life..
Both me and the web are now changing for good.
Happy anniversary, WWW!
Alex,
a web pro..

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the release of Internet Explorer 8. The biggest news is the full support of CSS 2.1 and the Web Standards support (finally!). I am happy to see that Microsoft is finally giving up all the wars and is now trying to create products which are independent from the environment and the platform.
All the websites, that we have created look good and exactly how they are supposed to IE8. The reason for this is that IE8 has changed the way the browser renders CSS rules. Now they obey the W3C rules. Which is making it even better. At the same time, websites that were developed for old versions of the browser might not work. This will make a lot of the websites on the net not working any more.
Another one of the hotnews is that IE8 was hacked just a few days later, when it was released on the TippingPoint’s 3rd annual Pwn2Own contest. After this microsoft fixed the problem on the same day.
Although, IE8 is much better than IE7, I recommend you to wait a few weeks before downloading it.

Allright, here is the newest technology
They say that PHP has been running 120% faster than on Unix system..
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/servers/winclientshearts/
To be honest, I am a fan of Windows, but the desktop OSes..
The servers are not so good beacause, they were written in a bad way.
But the famous organization Zend (that created the modern PHP engine) is guaranteeng that it will work:

Me, personally, I would never belive that something written for Unix, will work better in Win32 enviroment..
I am now testing this solution to see if it is better, so give me scripts to try!

All these years, we the people are trying to create an super high technology â artificial intelligence (AI).
What comes to your mind when you hear the words âartificial intelligenceâ ? Some kind of supercomputer? You might be right, but I disagree with this..

There are a few key elements, you need to consider in order to create a web compatible product:
- Web standards
- UTF-8
- Javascript independency (don’t forget the NOSCRIPT tag)
- tableless (CSS based) layout
- high contrast between the background and the font colours
- use screen fonts (serif or sans-serif)

What are web standards and what do they stand for.
As you know, there are different computers, different browsers, different operating systems and different browser versions. But what makes a website function correctly on every one of these different computers? Thatâs where the web standards come.
The software developers, consider these standarts, when developing a web browsing applications.
The problem is that, there are a lot of websites, created by people, who donât know what a âweb standardâ is. I bet that, in your experience you have at least 10 times found a website, which doesnât work. These websites usually are created with amateur âeasy to useâ programs and they will not look and function properly on every computer, which makes them useless.
The website you are viewing is valid, with no errors and it will look the same on every computer.

Itâs been a week since I am in my new home â Scotland.
Honestly, I like this place here, and itâs better than my hometown (Kneja, Bulgaria).
Scotland is a part of the UK and it is a very well-developed country.
I am here to study Web Development. Web Development is what I have been doing for 4 years now.
The people here are very nice and itâs unbelievable for me how kind they are. The âmagicâ words (like âThank youâ, âHere you areâ, âExcuse meâ) are not used in Bulgaria.
A little pictures, I have made can be seen in my web gallery on adr: http://sasho.joomla-bg.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=13
Later I will make and upload more pics.
