20 years ago I took a job as a high school computer science teacher. CSS and JS was just taking off and I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to teach a bunch of teenagers all about it.
Huge thank you to Eric, Zeldman, Shea, Jeremy Keith (DOM Scripting), etc. for their contributions. Their publications and answers to my emailed questions helped me set my students up for the future of front-end development.
I chuckle recalling all the tricks we had to learn/use to get our pages to work across all browsers and my insistence that all pages validate to receive full credit!

And basically was allowed an independent study to work on my "websites" as the teachers had no idea. I recall a strange argument where they insisted on HTML tags being uppercase.
