Marc Andreessen

Marc Andreessen, (born July 9, 1971, Cedar Falls, Iowa, U.S.), American-born software engineer who played a key role in creating the Web browser Mosaic and who cofounded Netscape Communications Corporation.

While still in grammar school, Andreessen taught himself BASIC, a programming language, so that he could write his own computer games; he later attempted to design a program that would do his math homework. He planned on becoming an electrical engineer, but that changed when he entered the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and landed a part-time job at the school’s computer lab, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). There, he and a handful of his peers created Mosaic, a user-friendly browser application that integrated graphics and point-and-click simplicity to make it easier for nontechnical people to navigate the Web. Mosaic was a huge success. NCSA made it available free of charge over the Internet, and more than two million copies were downloaded within a year.

After graduating in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, Andreessen headed to California’s Silicon Valley to work for a small company that made security products for use in electronic commerce. Soon he was contacted by James Clark, the founder and former president of Silicon Graphics, Inc. Clark was searching for an exciting new venture, and he found it with Andreessen. In April 1994 the duo founded Mosaic Communications Corporation (later rechristened Netscape Communications). Andreessen recruited the original masterminds behind Mosaic and set out to create the “monster” software, which they initially dubbed Mozilla (meaning Mosaic Killer). It was commercially launched as Netscape Navigator and, almost overnight, became the most popular browser used on the Web, taking over 75 percent of the market share by mid-1996.

Netscape

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Netscape Communications (formerly known as Netscape Communications Corp. and commonly known as Netscape) is a US computer services company, best known for Netscape Navigator, its web browser. It originated as an offshoot of the Mosaic Communications Corporation which was founded at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before it was later acquired by America Online in 1998, its headquarters were in Mountain View, California.

Netscape's web browser was once dominant in terms of usage share, but lost most of that share to Internet Explorer during the first browser war. The usage share of Netscape had fallen from over 90 percent in the mid-1990s to less than one percent by the end of 2010.
