I have just read that and I thought it will be good to remember in these days that we hear about many alternate developments. We have to be very careful in every choices we make. All of them will have consequences.

I hate working with HTML. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy page layout. I've spent many happy hours behind the wheel of Quark Xpress and when I put together my first web site I was convinced it would be just like creating a brochure in Quark. I wasn't alone in this delusion. When the appeal of the world-wide-web became apparent to the masses every design house in the country added web design to their list of services without a second thought. The web promises so much, and from the point of view of a designer it has yet to deliver. I can design a page that looks splendid on my microsoft browser only to discover with horror that I left a quote mark out and Netscape has been rendering my pages with neon green backgrounds. (if this page looks really bad on your browser please, let me know) The rift left by the browser war between Netscape and Microsoft is still felt with every html tag we type.
