 Birth of Netscape - Marc Andreesen and his Brainchild
The Netscape Browser was the brainchild of Marc Andreesen and was brought to life by a team of committed engineers under the Father like guidance of Jim Clark.
In 1990 Marc Andreesen was an undergraduate student studying computer science at The University of Illinois.
Andreesen was inspired by all of these and came up with the idea to build a graphical user interface that would allow a point and click method for navigating the Internet.

Marc Andreessen was born in July of 1971 in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, an archetypal Midwestern town of about 1,500 people.
In spite of a seemingly casual lifestyle, it would seem that Marc Andreessen continues to apply the bulk of his energies to the task of out-guessing, out-innovating and out-strategizing Netscape’s competition.

Marc Andreessen was a young undergraduate at the University of Illinois at the time of the invention of the World Wide Web.
It is important for us to ask, then, exactly what Marc Andreessen's goals and expectations were in developing the Mosaic browser.
Marc himself states that he did not envision his software, created within the walls of a government funded project at the University of Illinois, to ever involve a business endeavor.

 Early Posts to the WWW List
Allen is suggesting that Andreesen's web browser "Mosaic" include a feature that identifies errors on a web page in such a way as to assist the user in fixing the errors (in software development, this kind of feature is known as a "Lint").
Andreesen is defending the less-complicated error-alert approach in his browser, and suggesting that if O'Reilly and Associates wants something more elaborate, that they develop it themselves.
Allen's complaint seems partially caused by the fact that Mosaic would continue displaying the web page, even though errors existed (what Andreesen calls "Robust"), allowing the web-page author to continue without being aware of their mistake until the page was displayed elsewhere...not a good thing for a person in the publishing business.

 Mosaic and Netscape
Andreesen, a graduate student at the University of Illinois' NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications), led a team of graduate students (including Eric Bina) which, in February of 1993, released the first alpha version of his "Mosaic for X" point-and-click graphical browser for the Web implemented for UNIX.
Andreesen left NCSA in December of 1993 to move to California and accepted a position with a small software company.

Andreesen really did appear to have designed software that the computer world was waiting for.
Firstly, it reinforced the openness of Internet culture (Andreesen wanted to see what users would do with Netscape in order to influence development) and secondly it set a model of availability and easy access that led to the development of e-commerce in the later 1990s.
In some ways Andreesen made a real link between the world of the PC and the world of the Internet, mirroring the software developments of the former in his work on Mosaic and Netscape.

Andreesen says he is modeling Opsware's growth strategy after PeopleSoft and other prebubble software success stories, meaning that profits matter.
Andreesen argues that Oracle's core database business has matured, and Ellison is desperately groping for growth and using Darwinian takeover tactics as a way to obfuscate his company's potential irrelevance.
It is pragmatic for him to preach the end of innovation, Andressen says, because his company is potentially the second-coming of DEC, which today is extinct except for whatever remnants remain buried within the organizational structure of HP (Compaq bought DEC in the 1990s).

I am sure that Marc's a great guy and probably not that bad of a programmer but in terms of affect and influence he doesn't rate the attention he has received.
I think the attention focused on Andreesen is not so much a result of what he has done but more a result of the industry's bizarre fixation with the instant billionaires that the net economy has created and the belief that anyone that rich must be really smart.
I wish the man well but I will be quite shocked if Andreesen turns out to be anything more than a younger version of Paul Allen, spending his net billions on start-ups and remaining in the limelight because of his wealth and not his talents.
