HTML, CSS and JS, as open standards with multiple vendors, have the amazing advantage that if you can't find good developer docs you can just read the spec and it will tell you precisely how something works.
- omeid2 7y ago> if you can't find good developer docs you can just read the spec and it will tell you precisely how something works. Or rather, how it is supposed to work, but good luck with anything non-trivial. Though the state of things is much better recently than it used to be, but still a long way between implementations and spec.
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoAre you reading W3C or WHATWG?
- Klonoar 7y agoI've been doing this for 10+ years and the absolute last thing I'd do is stop and read a spec from them. Not that I don't think it's useful, it just (in practice) ends up with edge cases per-browser that I'd rather find out upfront. Edit: The above probably sounded more harsh than intended, haha... don't take it as derision please. Just noting my thoughts on specs.
