On Web Development: Articles 2005-2015

Description

On Web Development bundles 134 articles and the last 11 years of technical writings by Jens Oliver Meiert (meiert.com). Freshly reordered and commented, the articles cover processes and maintenance, HTML and CSS, standards, as well as development and design in general; they range from coding basics and principles, to carefully scathing criticism, to tips and tricks and trivia.⁂Technical lead at Google, author for O’Reilly, specification contributor at the W3C. Reset style sheet co-inventor—then wild opponent—, framework and library critic, code purist. These are some key words that describe Jens Oliver Meiert. Jens’s approach to web development is about one thing: quality, tailored to the tasks at hand. His writings, at times provocative, a little haphazard, reflect that as his understanding of good code. Sometimes there is nothing more to say.
