Thanks Opera!
I had started writing these posts about basic standards-centric front-end development out of organizational necessity. Personally, I started learning HTML and CSS a little over two years ago, well into what I would call the Era of Standards Awareness. If most developers had a similar learning experience as mine, then tidbits of information were picked up in random places all over the web and in books. Pieced together and combined with hours and hours of hacking, you slowly gained a working knowledge of the nature of standards and best practices. These resources were decentralized, often hard to discover, and sometimes conflicting in advice.
But now Opera has started publishing the Web Standards Curriculum. Thank God! Now anyone looking to dive into web development will have a base to start from, written by some of the smartest players in the game. (Hat tip to Roger Johansson for bringing this up.) Now instead of covering many of the same topics, I will simply defer you to the WSC. After Opera posts the last of the articles, I will revise my list of topics and expand on the areas that I find of particular use or interest. In the meantime, I’ll look forward to spending some time on personal projects I hope to share in the near future. Now get reading!
