Top Web Technologies of All Time
I’m a sucker for a good list (plus, it’s Friday), and this one certainly is an interesting retrospective look at the neat tools that were, and in most cases still are, available to web users and developers.
The eWeek slide show from a couple of weeks ago goes through the 30 that Jim Rapoze thinks are the most important, but apparently in no particular order:
XML
HTML
Netscape Navigator
HTTP
ApacheNCSA Mosaic
CERN httpd
Internet Explorer 3
NCSA httpd
FirefoxSSL
ViolaWWW
WAIS
CGI
Internet Information ServerSquid
Java
HotMetal
Flash
PHPDreamweaver
RSS
WebTrends
Blogger
PlaceWareLynx
Perl
Opera
Eclipse
Spyglass
It is probably a sign of excess geekdom that I actually understand what about 2/3 of these things are (but I wallow in total ignorance about those “httpd” thingies). That isn’t to say I know diddly about how to use them, mind you.
