Your Thoughts on: Students & XHTML

Well, frankly my dear... back at the Dawn of Time (when you were learning) they didn't have CSS nor XHTML nor Accessibility Standards. hehehehe. "-)

You do have a good point though about teaching new coders the right way from the start. If nothing else it will put them in a better position for the next set of standards.

Hey, neat tool! Thanks. :-)

Wow.. an entire post on standards that didn't take a pot shot at my Flash & Swish classes (that would be at www.lvsonline.com - snert). hehehe

Cheers!

How cool is all that? Heh heh heh

I'm seeing a marketing tool here -- teaching PROPER coding to those who have been coding for years yet have not seen the light of [X]HTML or CSS.

Purraze XHTML and CSS!!!! Hmmm, how to spread the word? Maybe a newsletter?

Oh, yeah, right, that would be me. When is summer break? snert

Hello all! Yay, Farron. I was just on your message board, checking out all the fabulous assignments. Such a great feeling that they are loving it, huh? I have been saying all along, that learning xhtml and css is soo much easier than the old ways of html 3 and 4. And much easier to sort through and trouble shoot! Now if they could just come up with a decent reference book on the subject!
