Sorry if this is a super huge question but I’m actually curious.

The first web browser was called [WorldWideWeb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWideWeb) and was developed by Tim Berners-Lee, widely considered the creator of the World Wide Web (the browser was later renamed Nexus Browser to avoid confusion with the web system itself).
It was written in Objective-C programming language for the NeXTSTEP operating system. The source code is public domain if you wish to look at it. At the same time Berners-Lee also created the HTML and HTTP standards fundamental to the modern world wide web, I imagine there was a lot of overlap there going back and forth between updating the standard/documentation and implementing the browser.
Besides that I couldn’t find any information about how specifically it was developed, but I can’t imagine it was significantly different to any other software created at the time. Is there some specific aspect of its development that you believe is too complex such that it requires explaining like you’re five?
