Some landmark events included the following:
The very first website was published in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee.
Flash was introduced by Macromedia in 1996.
Dynamic design language PHP gained popularity with its PHP3 release in 1998.
In the year 2000, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 became the first web browser to achieve better than 99% support for CSS1.
In 2000, the W3C recommended the second release of JavaScript, and by 2002, nearly all browsers supported it.
In 2008, mobile access to the internet exceeded desktop access for the first time in history.
Today, two thirds of cell phone users say they access the web/email from their device.
