プロローグ

pp. 9ja

アンドリーセンとその友人、エリック・ピーナは、原型となるコードを1992年から93年にまたがる冬の数週間で書き上げた。

p. 64en, pp. 92ja

So it was no wonder that they were invited to go to Boston in Julyk where O'Reilly & Associates was sponsoring a World Wide Web Wizards Workshop.  

/*snip*

O'Reilly hoped to work more closely with developers to make sure that, while different browsers that displayed documents might come and go, all the documents--that is, all content--would be written in a universal format. This was tricker than it sounded. Was it possible, for instance, for the Web to support new graphical browsers like Mosaic while remaining compatible with text-based browser?

/*snip*

As soon as beta versions of Mosaic for Mac and for Windows had been publicly released, NCSA's server had ...

The developers of the Midas browser and the Cello browser were there.

p. 69en

For Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly this was widespread accessibility of Mosaic raised a fundamental question: Who was going to control the future direction of the Web?

Two camps were emerging at the workshop. On one hand, the Web was Tim Berners-Lee's creation, and Berners-Lee argued ferventry that developers should agree on standard approaches to writing software. Berners-Lee didn't want the Web to evolve into, say, sixteen different Webs, each accessible only with a single browser.

HTML had been developed as a kind of generic language that an auther would use to convey text. But HTML didn't dictate any graphical parameters for how a document would be presented on-screen. That was fine with Berners-Lee; in fact, it wa almost a mantra. He kept making the point that he wanted users with text-only monitors to have the same equal experience on the Web as users who had fancier computers with graphical capabilities.

Berners-Lee said he thought the basic idea behind the markup language was the content it conveyed. Let each individual user decide how to display it, rather than creating a browser that dictated how content should be displayed.

It wa a purist's view, an idealist's view, and the Mosaic team saw it was holding back the Web. They understood Berners-Lee, certainly, but they were on the other side of the argument. He wanted to do the pure thing; they wanted to create a browser that did fun and cool things.

p. 70en

It was clear, from the tenor of the workshop and the growing importance of Mosaic, that Andreesen would assume a position of leadership in determining the future of Web development. And his attitude toward change was anything but moderate. If he thought of a new future for his browser, he simply sat down and banged it out. He didn't call for a committee vote.

p. 71en

Dougherty sensed that some in the room worried that Andreessen and Bina's creation would take off on its own, leaving the rest of the Web behind.
