Eastenders, the popular British soap, sounds a little like Front-enders… doesn’t it? Wouldn’t it be funny if all the characters of Eastenders where front-end web developers? That’s how my little random side project, FrontEnders started life.
It certainly seems that HTML5 is starting to take hold with more and more websites launching that make use of HTML5 but how good is it?
In August 2007, I won the contract to create the CSS for a new website, Leave it out. The CSS was subcontracted to me by the main developer (who also subcontracted the design to an independent web designer.)
It is beyond silly to repeatedly copy and paste the same HTML into the top and bottom of every HTML file that you create. That’s why god invented include() but, the humble header/footer HTML include file needs to be extended slightly – that is, unless you want all your pages to have the same title/meta description/CSS files etc.
