In some ways I feel sad for web developers that came to the web after 2013. We had a lot of ridiculous technology and the web was mostly a sandbox and boy did we throw sand but we had a lot of optimism even after 9/11. It was a very different era but from 1993 onward it was epic.

I really hope you didn't have to pay too much for the trauma I just caused you Tom I really am sorry but you know it's the truth also my second book was all about CSS tables and frames 1997ish it was so bad but I hope I made up for it in the ensuing years;-)

It also was plagiarized the guy even included my mistakes which is considered one of the cornerstones of plagiarism in legal terms and he was never to work again. No reparation other than that.
