Understand The Web

Understand The Web

Ben Ward is saying an intelligent thing or two about the web, web applications and 'open' standards: "Think about that word; ‘web’. Think about why it was so named.

That is what makes it amazing, and that is what defines it. This purpose and killer application of the web is not even comparable to the application frameworks of any particular operating system."

View-Source Is Good? Discuss.

Yes, "view source" is good. It's basically the best thing ever. We learn by example – and the fact that stuff like this is "open" helped HTML/CSS/JS to get the importance it has these days.
