My first brush with HTML was in 2001 when I was 11 and my friend Ryan was 12.
He had a book on HTML, CSS, and Perl and was happy to teach me. Together we made a website that was decent for the time despite using far too many iframes. I’ll never forget feeling my brain melt when a CSS class was applied to an element. Magic.
It wasn’t until much later that I realized how strange it was to have a 12-year old computer science teacher and now, decades later, I’m a software developer in large part because of my middle school friend Ryan. Thanks Ryan.
