HTML & CSS
HTML and CSS are the foundational languages of the internet. I picked these up a long time ago, back when IE5.5 was still available for the Mac. This was a time of standardisation, when we were trying to find ways to make our code run in every browser.
Things are a lot simpler now, but paradoxically there is far more to learn. I hope this HTML / CSS course will give you a solid foundation.

MVC JavaScript without a Framework
Looking at Rails or Angular there’s a tendency to think of MVC as something rather complicated and difficult to achieve, something that really demands a framework.
In fact, MV* style JavaScript really is trivially easy to write. It’s a pattern I’ll often drop into if I need to make anything beyond the basics, but I don’t want to break out Angular’s big guns.
In this post, we’ll create a simple MV pattern. We’ll build a Model and a View and wire these together using events.
