Abstract
To understand web development, you have to understand the Web, and to understand the Web, you have to understand the Internet that the Web is built on. This chapter will give you a brief history of the connected world, discussing first the origins of the Internet, then the origins of the Web, and finally the technologies used by developers to build applications on the Web. It will hopefully be a fun and informative ride!
