Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, is renowned as the inventor of the World Wide Web.

Gijsbert “Bert” Bos is a Dutch computer scientist recognized as a co-creator of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Joining the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1996, he significantly contributed to the development and standardization of CSS alongside Håkon Wium Lie.
