Finished: Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

Yeah, that's right. Published 2006. That was a bad year-- lots of cheerleading for how XHTML was so great that HTML5 would never even be invented. And CSS was so great because we now could do multi-column layouts in it, sort of, if we tried really really hard. Just close your eyes and believe. But the 2006 edition, that's what they have at the public library. Tech from ten years ago. It was actually sort of good to look back, remember the alienating awkwardness of that time, and also to affirm that I do know the contents of at least one textbook. Even if it's an old one.

Praise God for Bootstrap. And HTML5. And come to think of it I guess I missed the painful stage of Javascript altogether too. Something to be grateful for. I may have missed a lot of years. But a lot of that was totally worth missing.
