meaning

Nicola Pellow joined the WWW-Project in November 1990 . This year abroad was part of her mathematics studies at Leicester Polytechnic , now De Montfort University in Leicester . Pellow herself reported that she had little experience with programming languages "... apart from first attempts with Pascal and Fortran as part of my studies."

Shortly after Berners-Lee the World Wide Web - Web browser for NeXT had completed platform, Pellow was commissioned to develop a browser for non-NeXT systems. After a brief introduction to the C programming language , she created the original version of the Line Mode Browser . The WWW team created various experimental versions of the program based on their work. Pellow continued to work on adapting the browser to different types of computers.

She left CERN in late August 1991 and graduated from Leicester Polytechnic in 1992. She then returned to CERN and worked with Robert Cailliau on MacWWW , the first web browser for MacOS . She has now completely withdrawn from the technology industry and works for a social service. It is generally credited that the "Line Mode Browser" has attracted worldwide attention for the web.
