It's my pleasure. As you work with no code approaches I hope you will listen carefully to all of his videos it may help inform an even greater approach to truly making your products you need for your customers and improving the web while doing so I wish you well!
This video from Dr. Donald Knuth "HTML IS a Programming Language" is provocative, witty, arguable and even he shows where and why! to have discovered his work now is an utter joy for me. I hope it will be for you as well. 😊 youtube.com/4A2mWqLUpzw#100Days… #HTML #webdevelopers #NoCode

Professor Knuth has some wonderful and easy to understand I'm going to post a compelling short video relevance to conversations this week in the next post. He has interviews with my personal favorite podcaster @lexfridman and others as well. I'm very interested in your responses.

My influences when it comes to mentors and great thinkers in our industry remain an unexpected delight in my life. But it did not include the computer scientist, and Stanford professor emeritus Donald Knuth who met Tim Berners-Lee and others once at a pre w3c conference. Crazy!

I want to passionately Proclaim that I feel the no code and you don't have to learn languages or have an education in a wide variety of influential topics as well as an understanding of internet and web protocols and languages as well as the history of our field is very harmful.

When I started in Information Technology that's when the computation part became very important to me as did retaking mathematics from simple to Advanced and studying computational linguistics and now computational Neuroscience. I have long and deep experience in our field.

One of the reasons that people do not understand my position is because they think I'm a web 10 developer and it doesn't make sense to me. Inaccurate. I'm not a developer designer or programmer. I come from a background of language, linguistics, semantics, meaning, Behavior.

The past few days I've posted a lot about my passionate antipathy with the no code approach, the belief that HTML and CSS are not important to learn in favor of JavaScript, HTML5 /APIs, and my ongoing pain that we disregard accessibility. Some understand why but most do not.

Well of course most of what is linguistics and semantics is based in context and so if your context is not the application of specific theories then of course it could confuse anyone especially an educator so I do understand. These are different fields then General language
Hi! I accept your apology for being that arse as you said and I apologize intern for being the old school graybeard arse. There are things that are both valuable and contemporary development and really bad so I think we're both right what do you say? :-)

I've had several Twitter accounts this is my current one I've had this one since 2006 hope your doing good :-)
That's all correct actually for the definition except we have moved away from what would be call presentational HTML. HTML or XML are to markup content. CSS for presentation. JavaScript for Behavior. HTML5 and form factor problems have caused this split from declarative.
JavaScript at this point is programming we do not program the web. We declare our content cleanly as possible in order to facilitate accessibility interoperability portability and I could go on. Wink-wink JavaScript is the behavior layer the web is not and applications platform..
Yes I am thinking of the declarative web which is what the web is meant to be not programmatic that is an HTML5 and JavaScript first mentality it does not address the real nice it's that we've been with the web for declarative which is to be meaningful searchable accessible

Contrary to popular belief the web is not programming. Anything driven by JavaScript Frameworks libraries HTML5 apis any apis for that matter without content structure syntax semantics accessibility portability interoperability antithetical 2 design principles of the platform
