The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential as a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding. The UK and Ireland W3C Office (W3C-UK) is the national contact point for W3C activities in the UK and Ireland.
The W3C to supplement some of its recommendations provides primers, as easily readable non-normative introductions to the recommendations.
Bob Hopgood, formerly manager
of the W3C UK Office and leader of the W3C Office activity, and
now Professor at Oxford Brookes University, has produced a series
of primers as teaching material for the Brookes MSc
in Web Technologies . He has kindly agreed to allow us to
reproduce this material here.
The W3C UK and Ireland Regional Office is hosted by the CCLRC (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory), with support from the European Commission.
