4.0 out of 5 stars also a history of the Web's first decade, June 7, 2009
This review is from: Marc Andreesson:Web Warrior (Techies) (Library Binding)
This book is part of an interesting little series that tries to teach or motivate primary schoolers about technology. So that they can make sense of recent events and maybe even one day be attracted to working in a technology job.

Here the book describes Marc Andreesson, who wrote the first public browser, Mosaic. I suspect that the average reader of the book will not have heard of Mosaic, since it was quickly overtaken by newer browsers. Still, the book then goes on to describe how Andreesson went to co-found Netscape with Jim Clark of Silicon Graphics, and the browser wars with Microsoft in the late 90s.

In some ways, this book is also a history of the first decade of the Web. The story of Andreesson is intimately tied with the Web's early and spectacular growth.
