Tim Berners-Lee
Full Name: Timothy John Berners-Lee (8 June 1955)
He is also known as TimBL.
He is an English computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web.
He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989, and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet sometime around mid-November of that same year.
Berners-Lee was born in London, England, one of four children born to Mary Lee Woods and Conway Berners-Lee. His parents worked on the first commercially-built computer, the Ferranti Mark 1. He attended Sheen Mount Primary School, and then went on to attend south west London's Emanuel School from 1969 to 1973, at the time a direct grant grammar school, which became an independent school in 1975.
In June 2009 then British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Berners-Lee would work with the UK Government to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.
Berners-Lee was married to Nancy Carlson in 1990, a marriage that ended in divorce. In 2014 Berners-Lee and Rosemary Leith were married at St. James's Palace in London.
