Netscape

            
             Web Browser software, also called a Web Browser or simply a browser, is a Graphic Interface program that interprets and displays Web pages and enables the user to link to other Web pages. Netscape was designed to find interesting Internet sites without the need for specialized programming knowledge, and presenting it in a way that is more appealing than previous Internet browsers do. The first Web browsers used text commands and displayed only text documents. .
             During the early nineties a new company was formed which was interested in trying to simplify and make better web browsers. Two men were responsible for some of these changes in Web Design and interaction. Their names are James H. Clark and Mark Andreesen. James H. Clark obtained a P.H.D. in computer science at the University of Utah. He also studied physics and added to his computer experience while in the Navy. Mark Andreesen was a student at the University of Illinois got his start and was assigned work to develop 3D software for National Center for Super Computing. II.
             Both of these men worked hard and though they did what they could to make things work in the beginning of their careers they really were pretty unhappy. Mark Andreesen was making 6.85 per hour doing work for NCSC. James Clark was working as a freelance consultant. While working these mundane positions they met and realized there was a way to make things better through their combined experiences and overall desire to make the changes they wanted. .
             These two men developed a new unique software package named Mosaic, which was invented in early 1994 which was the forerunner for a new company formed Six months later. The new company formed was called Netscape and a company was born. By creating new software to change the way the Internet is viewed enabled Andreesen and Clark to capitalize on the popularity and uniqueness of the new and growing World Wide Web. II.
             The newly formed Netscape Company became publicly traded in August 1995.
