The Computer Chronicles - Building Your Website (1997)

[@wesbat9012]

A fascinating episode. It is a time capsule of web technologies of the time. A brief summary of the history of browser scripting follows: - 1995: Netscape's Navigator implements their own scripting language known as Mocha. It was created by Brendan Eich in (reportedly) only ten days. This would later be renamed to LiveScript, and again to JavaScript after the naming trademark was acquired from Sun Microsystems. - 1996: Microsoft's Internet Explorer implements their own scripting language known as JScript. - Implementation differences caused major incompatibility issues. Scripts written for one browser often did not work on the other. Netscape took their implementation to the Ecma standards organization to allow other browser vendors to implement a common language and reduce cross-browser incompatibilities. - 1996: CSS level 1 is released by the W3C consortium in December. - 1997: Netscape's JavaScript is accepted by Ecma and the first ECMAScript standard is published.

15:26 and gif animations are all the rage still today. They where thought dead in 2007 that is why there where not working on win7 picture viewer (I think it was that one) but today they work as they always should have.

I really wanted to create my own Atari themed website that would list all of the video games that were available for each and every system that Atari made, but I realized that it would be a Herculean task considering the fact that there were some games that were only available in specific regions of the world.

3D virtual worlds felt incredibly futuristic back then! Anyone else think of Cybertown during the VRML demo here?

[@oldtwins]

lol at how you can still see some of these ghetto sites from the 90s lingering around.

Ma'am, I beg to differ with your comment, The Computer Chronicles is not ghetto at all, The Computer Chronicles is VERY educational, always have been and always will be. Thumbs down for your comment.
