Chapter 207 Standard
In the early days of the Internet, the whole world was chaotic. Although Sir Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web, there was only text at this time, flowing in the Internet. Later, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) of the United States said that text was monotonous, so there was a Touch Saic browser. Touch Saic browser is good, and it brought the boon of graphical interfaces to the Internet.
NCSA is noble, it has too many things to do, and it has no time to spread the gospel widely. So it allowed its employee Mark Anderson to open Netscape company, bringing Netscape Navigator, the perfect graphics browser to the Internet. Moreover, Netscape browser is free, which allows all netizens in the world to use it easily.
From then on, it was not just text that flowed in the Internet. People used the html language to define the structure of text, making the text clearer. Later, people felt that they should get better, so they added some languages that describe text styles between texts of different structures. This is what CSS does and defined the way web pages are expressed. Later, the colorful web pages could not satisfy people. They hoped that web pages could achieve more functions, so many great functions such as javasc daily pt, dynamic scripts, flash, dhtml, etc. appeared, and web pages had the colorful ability...
All of this development is inseparable from an organization called w3c. Even today, when we open the source code of the web page, we can still see the ghost of w3c floating at the top. It is like a Freemason, dominating the entire Internet in the shadow (heavy fog). Any company that disobeys its standards has been ruthlessly hit.
The origin of this organization dates back to the MIT Computer Science Laboratory in October 1994, the non-profit organization W3C. It was established at this time and at this location. His founder, also the founder of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners Lee.
"Tim Berners Lee, you are so confused!" Mark Anderson threw a document into the trash can in the corner, spinning around like a hungry wolf.
"How can he formulate CSS technology into Internet standards? How can he do it!" Mark Anderson said angrily: "I am the creator of the Internet's performance standard. Without my consent, he actually added CSS to the W3C standard. What power does he have?"
He walked around the office twice, and suddenly someone knocked twice from outside. Mark Anderson calmed down for a moment, and he didn't want to show anger in front of the employees.
"Mr. Anderson, you'd better come and have a look at this." The team leader who was in charge of Liu'er browser testing, walked in with a somewhat ugly expression.
"What's the matter?" Mark Anderson frowned, picked up the clothes from the chair and walked outside.
The team leader led the way and said cautiously: "According to your requirements, although we have made a preliminary test report, we have not stopped testing the Liuer browser."
Mark Anderson nodded and said in agreement: "This is right. Liuer Software is an amazing enemy. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
"So, we discovered something amazing." The team leader pushed open the door of the studio. More than a dozen computers were buzzing. The test engineers kept opening various web pages, using each function one by one, and then recorded the effects, usage speed and usage experience one by one.
The test team leader said with a pale face: "We have been testing for two days, but so far, the Liuer browser has not crashed once."
Mark Anderson was shocked and said in disbelief: "This is impossible!"
The team leader waved, and a team member hurriedly brought a stack of information. He opened it and handed it over to Mark Anderson. When he opened the information, the team leader continued: "Although there is no source code of Liu'er browser. I suspect that this browser does not use the core of the sac browser. It limits every site to a closed environment. This architecture greatly improves the security and stability of the system. Even if a certain web page has a program error, it will not cause the entire browser to crash, but only needs to end a process."
"Multi-process architecture." Mark Anderson took a deep breath and said in amazement.
"Yes, we have many amazing discoveries in addition to this." The team leader pointed to the second half of the file and said: "For example, here, the dns pre-read function. During the user's free time on the Internet, this browser will pre-read the IP address of the hyperlink in the web page, thereby increasing the opening speed of each link by one, two seconds.
Also, although Liuer Browser does not support the unique tags of many Netscape browsers, it supports the w3c standard very strictly…”
It took Mark Anderson an hour to read the content summarized by the test team leader. He closed the folder and sighed: "Fortunately, we took the lead and occupied the browser market first. Otherwise, I'm afraid Netscape Browser will not be its opponent. Unfortunately, our situation has come true now. As long as the Liuer Browser cannot open the market, no matter how good it is, it will be in vain. You must seize the time to digest its technology and strive to add it to the next Netscape Browser."
"I understand." The team leader nodded gently.
"How is the development of the editor?" Zhou Shuo raised his head, looked at Shao Shiming with joy on his face, and asked with emotion.
"It's over. All the bugs found have been repaired at present, at least there is no problem with using them." Shao Shiming put a floppy disk on his desk and said as if he was asking for credit.
"That's good, let the publicity department arrange a press conference immediately." Zhou Shuo nodded, picked up the floppy disk and put it into the floppy drive.
With the sound of the floppy drive, a software in the computer was read out.
"Private xearsedit." Zhou Shuo read it gently. This so-called six-ear editor is actually a web page production tool. Compared with other web page editors in 1995, its only difference is that it provides a WYSIWYG editing function.
Speaking of which, this is thanks to Liuer Browser, a client derived from the ERP system. In order to increase the development speed of the ERP system, he has long started to develop such a WYSIWYG web page production tool. However, the ERP system's editing tools are more professional, and Liuer Editor provides more functions, so it was not until this time that it was developed.
Zhou Shuo looked up at Shao Shiming who was still standing in front of him, and asked inexplicably: "What, what else is there?"
Shao Shiming was slightly stunned by his question and said, "This is not waiting for you to try it out, to see if there is any improvement."
Zhou Shuo laughed and waved his hand and said, "What can I give? You have always been responsible for this project. Can I study it more deeply than you? Don't worry about me, just go and post the message."
Shao Shiming shook his head and said stubbornly: "You might as well take a look. Many of the ideas here are yours. I can't feel at ease if I don't take a look."
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but lower his head and reflect on it. It seemed that he had been intervening too much, which made the developers depend on it. He remembered this lesson in his heart and said laughing and crying: "Okay, can I still believe your abilities? You said there is no problem, that is, there is no problem. Time doesn't wait for anyone, so go and arrange the software release plan."
"Is it really okay?" Shao Shiming asked with some sway.
"Old classmate!" Zhou Shuo sighed and said, "Our career is not small now. You must be alone in the future. You can't let me make any decisions about everything, right?"
"Then..." Shao Shiming gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, "I'll arrange the software to release now, you can watch it!"
"Waiting for your good news!" Zhou Shuo nodded sincerely and watched Shao Shiming turn and leave.
Looking at the development of computers, it is not difficult to find that its historical trend is openness and compatibility. The power of this rule is vast, and those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish.
Intel became the chip overlord with its open hardware platform. Although Apple produced the first generation of personal computers, it was quickly replaced because its system was not open. The great development of personal computers is inseparable from the rise of compatible machines. Microsoft's success relies on the countless Dos platform program developers standing behind it.
The success of the Internet is also based on standard compatibility and openness of content.
In the history of computer science, no company has been able to conquer the world alone. A system will only be more powerful as it joins.
Netscape is indeed powerful, and Netscape Navigator browser occupies 90% of the entire US market share. American websites are made to adapt to Netscape browser. In this market, no one can defeat him head-on. Of course, this is except Microsoft, which has a maximum market value of 300 billion US dollars.
Unfortunately, Liuer Software Company is not Microsoft. It has neither a market value of 300 billion yuan nor a system that monopolizes the entire desktop computer operating system market. Faced with Netscape's ironclad power over the browser market, how can we break through the siege?
The same old saying goes, mobilize the masses and surround the city in the countryside.
This is a baby who is still in swagger in 1995. All the websites around the world have only been more than 23,000.
