Weaving the web

Nice pocket book, on the one hand full of anecdotes on the history of the world wide web (not to be confused with the internet). On the other hand it states all the big ideas on the future of the web, mostly the semantics thing and XML.

If you keep up with W3C specifications, then it’s nice to have this in the back of your mind, because it explains many of the ideas that drive the changes in specs such as XHTML.

The book gives all kinds of examples making internet technology more pervasive and beneficial in our daily lives.
