IT Legends and their Websites

Posted on February 7, 2007 by Marek

Recently I visited the people who have permanently engraved in the history of IT. And so quite by chance I noticed that they share one thing in common.

At the beginning let’s visit the site of Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of the PHP language – http://www.lerdorf.com

Next Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, the man regarded as the creator of Web – http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee

Larry Wall, the author of Perl – http://www.wall.org/~larry

Bjarne Stroustrup – created C++ – http://www.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html

Guido van Rossum – author of Python – http://www.python.org/~guido

Richard Stallman – the founder of GNU Project and Free Software Foundation, co-founder of the GNU GPL – http://www.stallman.org

Now, all of the aforementioned websites are extremely simple, they look as if time stopped around the year 1999. This is interesting especially that those gentlemen did not have the slightest problem with the creation of website which is more advanced.

On the other hand, it comes after the content rather than fireworks.
