WordPress’s birthday is today, May 27th. It’s been 20 years since American developer Matt Mullenweg and English developer Mike Little launched the first version of WordPress in 2003. To commemorate this occasion, here are some of the most significant moments in WordPress history.
However, it is time to rejoice. Join us on this incredible journey to learn how WordPress got to where it is today.
How It all Begins Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little:
It’s a 20-year story about two extremely talented individuals, Matt Mullenweg, and Mike Little. On May 27, 2003, they released the first version of WordPress. This open-source platform was not merely a carbon copy of its predecessor. Rather, the partners began this program with the larger goal of making website creation easier for everyone.
WordPress is written in the PHP programming language. Furthermore, MySQL is used to maintain the database. WordPress was suggested by Christine Selleck Tremoulet. He is a prolific blogger and Mullenweg’s friend. He later became a co-founder of WordPress. WordPress initially strengthened its position as the world’s most popular blogging platform. However, it gradually became the preferred choice for business websites as well.
