A Focus on Standards
The web is moving forward at a frenetic pace; new technologies and techniques are coming into mainstream use all the time, and having been doing a bit of detective work, I’ve discovered that not all of you know what they are.
So, here in an easily-accessible list are links to the things which you really really should learn. Take my word on it. Don’t put any of these things off, you should be using them right now.
- Do you know every HTML tag there is? Even all the ones that were brought in with HTML 4.01? You don't need to worry about the dreaded ‘browser support’ anymore (at least for tags — cross-browser JavaScript is still difficult).
- Are you still kicking it old-school with plain old HTML? You might consider using the latest standard, XHTML (eXtensible HTML). It isn’t difficult to change, and we have an entire tutorial illustrating the differences, XHTML Explained. You can see XHTML in practical use in the source code of this very site.
- Have you started using CSS yet? If you haven’t, it’s time. CSS is the most important of HTML’s supporting languages to know. There’s an entire CSS section here for you to explore, so go and make a stylesheet now.
