Web standards checklist
Date: 13 August 2004 Author: Russ Weakley Web standards – more than just ‘table-free sites’ The term web standards can mean different things to different people. For some, it is ‘table-free sites‘, for others it is ‘using valid code‘. However, web standards are much broader than that. A site built to web standards should adhere to standards (HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, XSLT, DOM, MathML, SVG etc) and pursue best practices (valid code, accessible code, semantically correct code, user-friendly URLs etc). In other words, a site built to web standards should ideally be lean, clean, CSS-based, accessible, usable and search engine friendly.

Codecademy Founder: Why Everyone Should Learn Programming
In August of 2010, I was one of the first employees at a small startup called GroupMe. The story seems familiar—a duo of young entrepreneurs started the company and modeled it on a problem they had. They worked nights and weekends and hired a team to help make their vision a reality. One year later, the company sold to Skype for tens of millions of dollars. GroupMe is one of thousands of examples of businesses created in today’s information economy that use technology to solve a problem.
