What a nice find! I've used Gopher back in the days, I've heard about Veronica WAIS and some other technologies from early 90s but I've never seen any other in action. I was a kid at that time so HTML was the beginning oy hyperlinks and hypermedia to me. It is nice to see some of the pioneer work that was done before "my time".
- urda 5y agoI enjoy seeing and reading these historic texts and initial documents tremendously. So great seeing how everything has been built up since.
- celdon25 5y agoI wish I had more time to read these, as sometimes you can find techniques that are potentially superior for some use-cases. Some of them are out there in these books, having since-been replaced by a cheaper, commoditized equivalent.
- taubek 5y agoYes, there is a lot of wisdom in some of them. With progres some of the good-old-stuff gets lost and at latter stage it is much harder to introduce them once again.
