Web Development

Three years might not sound like a lot, but you’d be surprised what you can pick up in that amount of time if you really work at it.

I’ve been developing websites for about four years, starting back from when I first learned HTML. Back then, I found it impressive that I could create a page with text on it in various sizes and colors. Nowadays… yeah, not quite as impressive {tongue}.

Today I develop websites to the latest and greatest standards to roll out of the W3C (and others, like the IETF). Semantic, logical markup is my #1 web development goal, with accessibility and readability right behind. All of my websites conform to XHTML 1.1, and generate logical structures on the W3C Outline Generation tool (a part of their HTML validator). Structure, design, and function (can be seen as the three components of the Model-View-Controller programming model) are always kept separate. Design is handled with valid CSS 2.1, and any client-side functionality that needs to be added is done using ECMAScript 4-compliant JavaScript. Backend logic is handled completely in PHP.
